Father's Day Gift Guide 2023: Editor's Picks

May 03, 2023

When it comes to gift giving, dad is often the hardest member of the family. He claims a gift would be a waste of money, and he refuses to give you hints when you ask. But it just wouldn't be right to celebrate Father's Day without a proper present! While dad always says he doesn't need anything, we'd like to bet there are one or two goodies he would really appreciate—even if he isn't thinking of them. Below, check out our editor's picks for Father's Day gifts in 2023, grouped by price (so you can find something in your budget).

Orchard Valley Harvest Snack Packs (Buy at Walmart, $3.98 per pack). A tasty and healthy snack option for a dad on the go: Orchard Valley Harvest Dark Chocolate Dipped Almonds, Salted Caramel Munch Mix, and OMG Omega-3 Mix. These crunchy treats are packed with protein, healthy fats, and important micronutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.

Cleaning Gel for Car (Buy from Amazon, $5.94). Does the dad in your life hate the crumbs and residue that gets stuck in car seats and cup holders? This car gel works like magic! Push the squishy gel into the dirty spot, then pull back up - it will grab all the gunk.

California Gold CollagenUP, Unflavored (Buy from iHerb, $17). Whether or not your husband or dad is active, collagen is a thoughtful gift that won't get thrown away. California Gold's collagen is made of hydrolyzed marine collagen peptides. It also includes hyaluronic acid, which improves skin elasticity and hydration, and vitamin C (which helps the body build and maintain its collagen supply). In other words, it has all of the good, and none of the bad.

Jones Cane Sugar Soda, Root Beer, 4 Pack (Buy from Amazon, $19.99). Who doesn't love a classic, ice-cold root beer soda on a hot day? Jones Soda is made with 100 percent cane sugar (no high-fructose corn syrup here), and it has an old-fashioned, classic, delicious flavor that can't be beat.

Smart Sweets Variety Pack Sampler (Buy from Amazon, $21). If your loved one has a sweet tooth but needs to watch his sugar intake, Smart Sweets are an excellent swap. Each pack contains up to 3 grams of sugar (that's it!), and they're bursting with flavor. Plus, you won't find bad ingredients here. Smart Sweets include chicory root fiber, rice flour, and other natural, no-nonsense ingredients to give them a delicious chew.

Owala FreeSip Water Bottle, 16 ounces (Buy from OwalaLife.com, $22.99). When your husband's full-sized water bottles are just too clunky and won't fit in cup holders, smaller versions make excellent second options.

Melinda's Mini Liquid Spice Rack, 10 Pack (Buy from Amazon, $26.99). Why buy one hot sauce when you could get a sampling of them all? Melinda's makes a delicious "spice rack" with flavors like black truffle, fire roasted garlic and habanero, Thai sweet chili, and Louisiana cayenne.

In other words, your dad or husband will feel like these sneakers were customized to his feet.

Walking Pad A1 Pro Foldable Under-Desk Treadmill (Buy from WalkingPad.com, $650). If your loved one is chained to his desk, a walking pad can help him stay moving. The Walking Pad A1 Pro is a relatively quiet machine that can be folded and rolled away when not in use. Control the speed from a remote, and watch the number of steps from the digital monitor. If dad prefers, he can use the foot-sensing speed control instead. How it works: Walk near the top of the machine to gradually increase speed, walk in the middle to stay the same, and walk near the back to slow down.
