6. Ruggable Outdoor Tulum Desert Sage Rug
Ever since it’s gotten nicer out, dad has been going hard on his backyard living room. The only thing he is missing? A rug. We know — outdoor rugs get dirty way too quickly, so they’re essentially pointless. But that’s not the case if you snag him one from Ruggable. With Ruggable, you can quite literally throw this rug in the washing machine for a quick was when it gets dirty. Throw it back outside once it’s clean, and dad will be ready for barbecue after barbecue all summer long!

He’ll ask a question or two but you’ll play dumb until he walks in the kitchen and sees Keurig’s brand-new K-Express topped off with a red bow on his countertop. A present he’s always been afraid to ask for but is certainly excited to get.

11. Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0
Every dad loves sitting in the backyard in front of a blazing fire. That’s just the way life is. But what if we were to tell you that pops can fire sit in a totally smokeless setting? Well, he actually can with the Solo Stove Bonfire.
This smoke-free fire pit is built for toasty lounging in the backyard. It’s perfect for any season dad wants to sit out and drink beers with his buds, roast marshmallows over the firepit or read a book by flame. But, how exactly is it smokeless? Well, the Bonfire uses a signature 360° Airflow Design that draws air in from the bottom and creates a secondary burn at the top, leaving a totally smokeless experience every time.

15. A New Streaming Service
Americans love to watch TV, especially on nice, big TVs. We love going to the movies. But more and more, especially over the past few months, we’ve been enjoying movies in the comfort of our own homes. If your pops is a big movie or TV buff, getting him that streaming service he’s been hesitant to add to his monthly subscriptions is a good call. You could go with Netflix, Amazon Prime or the new Disney+, but our top recommendation is the new HBO Max. For just $15/month, your dad can watch his favorite TV shows and hundreds of movies whenever he likes, making this one of the best gifts for fathers that simply keeps on giving.
Buy: HBO Max Starting at $9.99/Month
16. Anker Wireless Charger
Is your dad the type to dawn over each and every new gadget and gizmo you present to him as if it is the coolest thing he’s seen since sliced bread? Well, gift him the Anker wireless charger. Yeah, he’s got an iPhone or an Android, but he’s calling you up every single day asking you how to do something. “How do I change my brightness? How do I turn off ‘Do Not Disturb’? How do I charge my phone?” Rid that last question forever, because now, he can wirelessly throw this on the charging dock and let that phone juice up, completely wire-free. There’s no doubt that he’s going to be impressed, so get giftin’.
17. Mofado Crystal Whiskey Glasses
Both elegant and practical, this is the type of drinkware your dad needs sitting on his bar. These distinctive whiskey glasses have a striking look to them, made from ultra-clear lead-free crystal that emphasizes clarity and detail; you’ll definitely notice the legs of a refined whiskey.

Toast to your dear old dad’s health with these classy glasses, one of the best gifts for dad for any occasion.
Buy: Mofado Crystal Whiskey Glasses $24.95

These inexpensive tees are the best T-shirts you can buy. How do we know that? Well, we’ve tested them. The shape, softness and color have all stayed the same wash after wash after wash.

Using HD+ video, two-way talking with Audio+, 3D motion detection and a built-in Alexa, the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 has quickly become the home security doorbell to own. Unlike its competitors, the Pro 2 covers much more space than you would ever realize. It’s got the ability to let homeowners see as low as the floor so they know whether or not a package has been delivered. In addition, if you don’t see a notification in time, you can set Alexa to ask questions and greet folks at your front door so that when you check back later, you can see why a particular person might have come to visit. Unlike the original Ring devices, the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 also wires right up to your existing doorbell wiring. This will help the Ring act as a regular doorbell in addition to your smart doorbell.
Buy: Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 $259.99
23. Therabody Mini Massage Gun
The SPY team loves massage guns, and Theragun is the gold standard of percussive massagers. Recently, Theragun rebranded as Therabody and released a new generation of massagers. In our experience, some massage guns can actually be too intense for the average customer, which is why the Therabody Mini is the perfect gift for older recipients. This premium massage gun is easy to use and lets anyone enjoy a deep tissue massage in their own home. Not only is this one of the top tech gifts of last year, but it’s also a perfect gift idea for dads.
24. Vuori Sunday Performance Jogger
Yeah, Vuori’s Sunday Performance Joggers might be a little bit pricy for a pair of sweatpants — but holy hell, they’re worth it. We’ll go as far as to call these joggers luxurious. They’re comfortable, durable and tremendously good-looking whether your dad is sitting on the couch or running errands. They don’t even come close to as sloppy as dad’s old sweats he’s been rocking since his college days. Do him a favor — give those to God and get him these as one of the best gifts for dad in 2022. He’ll truly thank you.

27. Jackery Explorer Portable Power Stations
Gift your dad the ability to never run out of power again. We recently tested and reviewed the Jackery Explorer 1500 Portable Power Station, and it’s a mighty impressive power station. At this point, consider us obsessed with this generator. It has three different ways of charging which are solar, through an AC power outlet or via car, meaning dad can even take this on the road. Our favorite model has a 1488 Wh capacity, which is absolutely insane, and can charge up to seven different appliances at the same time. Bonkers. However, even the most affordable 160W option will still be super handy in an emergency.

29. Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera
We used to be huge Polaroid fans, but up until recently, we’ve become totally obsessed with Fujifilm’s line of instant cameras.
The Instax Mini 11 is Fujifilm’s most recent instant camera capturing moments in a cute-colored body your dad will enjoy forever. Photos develop a ton faster than anything Polaroid is making, too. Expect a fully-developed Fujifilm snapshot in just a minute, while Polaroid will take you over 10. Plus, the camera itself and film are way cheaper than Polaroid.
Sure, dad might love the Polaroid name, but it’s time to show him that old-school tricks deserve a little bit of modernity with Fujifilm.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you recently learned that Apple released their 3rd Gen Apple AirPods and it’s safe to say we’re obsessed. Dad’s been wanting these on the low for years now but hasn’t had the courage to tell you, so we think they’ll make one of the best gifts for dad this year that he simply wasn’t expecting.

A Sonos is a must-have dad gadget for a few reasons. The sound quality is superb but more importantly, the ease of use means your dad won’t be calling you with tech questions all the time. It’s got Amazon Alexa built right in which might freak out your parents at first, but after a while, they’ll love the convenience. The setup takes a few minutes and all it takes is a WiFi connection to stream their favorite music easily. This speaker from Sonos is durable and battery-powered so they can bring it anywhere with them and enjoy up to 10 hours of continuous play time. It’s also made to last, so an accidental knock off the table shouldn’t take it out of commission.
33. Diplomatico Rum Reserva Exclusiva
Rum is on its way back. For whatever reason, rum hasn’t hit the same way it used to, but brands like Diplomatico are proving rum is still packed with flavor and will spice up any Coca-Cola can dad is sipping from. Our copy editor James Schiff has been obsessed with this bottle as of recent whether he’s sipping it straight or mixing it up into a cocktail and he’s sure your dad will love it, too.

36. Herschel Novel Duffel Bag
Work, travel or the gym, duffel bags come in handy for many things, and if there’s anything SPY editors love, it’s a good travel bag. And no one constructs a better weekender for the price than Herschel Supply Co. The Canadian manufacturer has an insane collection of bags to choose from, but we strongly recommend the Novel Duffel Bag. It’s light and spacious, offering just enough room to store a weekend’s worth of clothing, while also housing a shoe compartment to carry a pair of sneakers or wingtips. Tough tech fabric makes up most of the Novel’s construction, guaranteeing durability and long-term use. Herschel also sells it in over 37 colors; Raven Crosshatch (pictured below) and Woodland Camo are some of our favorites.

What is it with dads and walkie-talkies? Whether it’s 1982, 2002, 2022 or 2042, all dads absolutely lose it when walkie-talkies are included. Whether it be the sense of added authority or he’s still geeked that the machines even exist in the first place, these Motorola walkie-talkies will be his new summer toy.
