What to Get Dad for Father’s Day
1) Anything Jordan Brand
As one of the greatest players in NBA history, Michael Jordan dominates the sports fashion industry. His Jordan brand shoes are iconic and always in style. If your dad is a sports fan, particularly a basketball fan, it’s a good bet that he would appreciate any type of Jordan gear, whether it’s a pair of retro Air Jordans, a Jumpman-emblazoned jacket or even court-ready basketball shorts. Foot Locker has tons of Jordan brand apparel, shoes and accessories. While you’re at it, grab Dad a Jordan Legacy Basketball to go with his new outfit, and let him relive his own hoop dreams.
2) Running Accessories
If he likes to stay active, either inside on the treadmill or outside in the park, a smartwatch is a must-buy. The Garmin Forerunner 245 Music Smartwatch syncs with his favorite playlist on Spotify, or he can access his own Garmin coach while getting in his daily steps. Or maybe Dad needs a new pair of joggers for his next workout. The UA Sportstyle Joggers from Under Armour keeps his muscles warm and ready for anything. All he’ll have to focus on is enjoying his run (while still social distancing, of course!).
And if your dad is into sports, check out our gift guide for sports fans.
3) Grilling Tools
If grilling is a hobby of his, Lowe’s has a ton of gift options, from the grill itself, whether a gas or charcoal grill or a smoker, to a multitude of accessories. Maybe he needs a portable grill cart for the summer, or a stainless steel tool set. Either way, you can’t go wrong with one of these items if you have a grill master for a dad. And, bonus, your family will reap the rewards with yummy grilled dinners!
By the way, we have a whole gift guide for foodies that will give you even more ideas for outdoor cooks.

4) Smart Home Gadgets
Maybe your dad is a tech guy, in which case a smart home product will be right up his alley. For the heat of the summer months, a smart thermostat might fit (and lower!) the bill. Ecobee’s version has voice control and syncs with your Alexa and your cell phone for convenience. He might also appreciate an Amazon Smart Plug. With a smart plug, you can easily adjust the lights and appliances using a voice-controlled assistant or a mobile app.
5) Outdoor Gear & Equipment
The wild blue yonder beckons, and Dad needs the right gear for his next adventure. This moisture-wicking shirt with UPF 50+ protection and this award-winning trail pack by Eddie Bauer are perfect for the next hiking trip he has planned. While you’re at it, add in a new travel mug to keep his drink hot or cold for hours at a time while he’s on the trail.
6) Golf Gear
Dad will be able to shoot more birdies with a new set of golf balls, like these from Callaway. Or maybe a Bushnell Rangefinder with of-the-minute technology will serve best for his long game. Whatever golf accessory you choose, you can’t go wrong with a golf gift if your father loves spending time on the links.
7) Summer Fashion Apparel & Accessories
Hot weather is here, and with it comes the need for clothing ideal for higher temps. Keep Dad feeling cool with a moisture-wicking polo shirt from Express along with these 365 Comfort Hyper Stretch Shorts. Add in a new pair of aviator sunglasses, and he’ll be ready for long days in the summer sun while staying stylish.
8) Video Game Accessories
Some gamers like using a headset while they play. The Xbox One LS35X Wireless headset is a good option for crisp audio, so they never miss a second of what’s happening in the game (or those endless Zoom calls for work!). If he’s a PlayStation owner, Dad might like a new PS4 controller in his favorite color or to match his favorite game.
9) Pop Culture Smartphone Accessories
Phone accessories are always welcome (and when Dad’s not using them, they are free game for everyone else). If he’s a fan of Star Wars, buy him a Millennium Falcon Wireless Charge Pad so that his phone is ready to go to light speed at all times. GameStop also has an Iron Man Wireless Charger that looks like Tony Stark’s Arc Reactor. And if he’s a fan of the original Star Trek series, he’ll probably love this replica Star Trek communicator that’s actually a functioning Bluetooth handset. These are simple Father’s Day gifts that he can have a lot of fun with.
10) Happy Father’s Day Gift Card
Many of the ideas in this Father’s Day gift guide can be purchased from stores on the Happy Father’s Day Gift Card, making it a great gift for Dad since it allows him to pick out what he wants for himself. The gift card can be used at Foot Locker, Cinemark, Lowe’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, GameStop, Eddie Bauer, Red Robin and Express.
