Add as a preferred source on Google

Let's be honest-shopping for dads is like trying to pick the right shampoo in a sea of 87 identical bottles. You ask, "What do you want for Father's Day?" and you get the classic response: "Nothing, beta. I already have everything." But deep down, every dad secretly appreciates being spoiled (even if he insists he doesn't need another "fancy pen").

Whether he's the sentimental type, the gadget geek, the outdoorsy explorer, or just someone who loves Sunday naps and a good cup of chai, we've got something that will make his Father's Day memorable.

On Father's Day 2025 which will be observed on 15 June, let's unwrap some love-one gift at a time.

1. Custom Star Map

Give him the stars-literally. A custom star map showing how the sky looked on the day you were born or the day he became a dad can be a tear-jerker. Frame it up, and you've just turned stargazing into sentiment.

2. Personalized Wallet with Handwritten Message

If he's been using the same wallet since the early 2000s (and it looks like it's survived a small explosion), it's time for an upgrade. A leather wallet engraved with your personal message or even your own handwriting? Dad jackpot.

3. Bluetooth Record Player

For the dad who still talks about how "music was better in his time," a stylish Bluetooth record player blends nostalgia with modern flair. Add a vinyl of his favorite band, and watch him transform into a 20-something air guitarist again.

4. DNA Ancestry Test Kit

Is he constantly claiming that you're 4% Italian because his grandmother liked pasta? Solve the mystery for real. A DNA kit not only satisfies his curiosity but gives the family plenty to discuss over dinner.

5. Engraved Hammer

This one's for the fix-it-all dad who has a toolbox older than you. Get an engraved hammer that says something like, "Dad, thank you for building my world." It's cheesy, yes-but also perfect.

6. Memory Jar with "Reasons I Love You"

Grab a sleek jar, write 50 notes about why he's the greatest dad, and watch his heart melt like butter on a paratha. He'll probably keep this one on his desk forever-or until your next sibling tries to outdo you.

7. Noise-Canceling Headphones

Because dads deserve peace too. Whether he's zoning out to his favorite podcast or avoiding your mom's third reminder about fixing the tap, these will come in handy.

8. Book of Dad Jokes

Celebrate the king of cringy puns with a book that's full of them. He'll get new material, and you'll get to endure-sorry, enjoy-an even more expanded dad-joke universe.

9. Smart Garden Kit

If he's been fussing over his dying balcony tulsi, this gift is for him. A smart garden kit helps grow herbs indoors with minimal effort-perfect for dads with green ambitions and black thumbs.

10. Fitness Tracker Watch

Help him track his steps, heart rate, and naps disguised as "deep meditative breaks." A stylish fitness tracker can motivate him to stay healthy without saying, "Papa, you need to walk more."

11. Handwritten Recipe Book

Gather all his famous recipes-yes, even the Sunday chicken curry that somehow tastes different every time-and write them down in a beautifully bound book. Add blank pages for future family creations.

12. DIY Whiskey Infusion Kit

For the dad who likes his evenings smooth, give him the thrill of flavoring his own whiskey. Bonus: He'll probably toast to you after the first successful batch.

13. Portable Foot Massager

After years of standing on principles, careers, and your school recitals, those feet deserve rest. A good foot massager says, "Thanks for everything, including carrying us-literally and emotionally."

14. Custom Bobblehead That Looks Like Him

Want a gift that's equal parts hilarious and adorable? Send in his picture and get a personalized bobblehead made. It'll proudly sit on his work desk or car dashboard, bobbing away in approval.

15. Framed Father-Child Photo Timeline

Pick a picture of the two of you from every few years and make a framed collage. Watch him get misty-eyed as he realizes his little human grew up into someone pretty amazing.

16. Electric Barbecue Grill

For the grill master (or aspiring one), an electric BBQ grill is a dream gift. No more fumbling with coals or blaming the wind for burnt kebabs.

17. Travel Voucher or Staycation Package

If your dad always puts everyone else first and never gets a break, treat him to a weekend getaway or a cozy staycation. You can even plan it with your siblings to make it extra special (and affordable).

18. Personalized Pen Set with His Name

Upgrade his everyday writing game with a sleek, personalized pen set. Whether he's signing contracts or scribbling grocery lists, it's about time he had a pen that says, "Sir, you're important."

19. Digital Photo Frame Loaded With Family Pictures

Preload a digital frame with photos from family trips, birthdays, and random selfies he secretly loved. It's a rotating slideshow of memories-and proof he smiled at least once in that Goa group pic.

20. "Dad Fuel" Coffee Subscription

If he starts his day with a cup of coffee and intense newspaper reading (or ranting), a gourmet coffee subscription will hit the spot. Every morning brew will remind him he raised a thoughtful genius.

Whether he says it or not, your dad will absolutely love the thought and effort you put into making his day special. And remember, while gadgets and gifts are great, the time you spend with him, even just sharing a cup of tea or listening to his stories (for the hundredth time), is the greatest gift of all.

Want to go the extra mile? Wrap the gift yourself. Add a handwritten card. Or better yet, offer to wash his car while he watches DDLJ for the 47th time. He'll never forget it.
