1. Backpack Cooler

I’m not sure about the men in your life but ours seem to collect coolers.

And this Columbia PFG backpack cooler would be perfect for the beach.

Dad can just throw on this cooler filled with his favorite beverages and still have his hands free to carry other things too.

2. Stainless Steel Beverage Holder

Once Dad gets to the beach, or really anywhere, he’ll probably want to keep that beverage cold while he’s drinking it on a hot summer day.

Kevin found this stainless steel can holder and loves it because it’s the only one he’s found that holds different-sized cans and bottles.

It adjusts so it fits a regular-sized can, a slim can, or a bottle.

How cool is that?!

3. Yeti Rambler Tumbler

Whether Dad is home or on the go, this giant 30 oz. Yeti Rambler Tumbler will keep his favorite drink hot or cold all day long.

Chris fills his every day with water to be sure he’s drinking enough throughout his work day.

This tumbler comes in a variety of colors so you can pick your guy’s favorite!

4. Basting Set

A stainless steel basting pot and brush set is perfect for the dad who loves to cook and grill.

The Cuisinart cup-style set makes basting meat on the grill simple!

5. Grill Tool Set

Dad could always use a new set of grill tools, and this 3-piece stainless steel set from Home Depot is so affordable for a high-quality set.

Our friend Don has these on his Father’s Day wish list.

6. LED Grill Light

Home Depot to the rescue again for another great Father’s Day gift idea.

This Weber LED grill handle light is awesome. At least Chris thinks so!

It attaches to our grill handle and is a motion sensor with an on/off switch so it saves battery life.

7. Homemade Hot Sauce Kit

Does Dad like it hot?

Then this Homemade Hot Sauce Kit may be the one for him.

Can someone say YAY for spicy taco night?!

8. The Bacon Crate

What Dad doesn’t love bacon?

Our three experts thought this bacon crate from Man Crates looked so good.

Does Dad work on a computer all day?

If so, he may need a set of these stylish and affordable blue light-blocking glasses that are on Kevin’s wish list this year.

10. Wireless Charging Pad

How cool is this wireless charging pad?

Dad can charge his phone, smartwatch, and AirPods all at the same time with only one plug.

I think I may need one of these except that I don’t have AirPods… so I may need those too. LOL

11. Leather Charger Roll Up

This beautiful leather charger roll-up from Mark and Graham is perfect for the dad who travels.

And it can be personalized with his initials which makes it a little more special.

12. Echo Dot Smart Speaker

We love our Echo Dot Smart Speaker with clock and Alexa.

When I bought this for Chris he finally let me toss our 25-year-old alarm clock. This one looks so much better in our bedroom!

13. Golf Balls

What about the dad who loves golf?

A box of golf balls is always a Father’s Day gift idea that he’ll appreciate.

Kevin loves these Titleist Pro V1 golf balls.

14. Nike Dri-Fit Polo Shirt

If Dad doesn’t need golf balls, then maybe this good-looking Nike Dri-Fit Polo Shirt is the way to go.

It’s a great shirt that comes in a bunch of color options for him to wear anywhere and look sharp and stylish!

15. Bushnell Binoculars

A pair of binoculars is a great Father’s Day gift idea that Don suggested.

These 10×50 wide-angle Bushnell binoculars are affordable so Dad can take them to the beach, ballgame, or even on a hike.

16. Movie Scratch-Off Poster

17. Pajama Pants

Keep Dad comfy while scratching off that movie bucket list poster in these poplin pj pants from Old Navy.

18. Craft Beer Brewing Kit

Does Dad love a good brew?

This west-coast style IPA beer brewing kit comes with everything you need to make homebrewing easy!

19. Pistachio Pedestal

What goes better with beer than nuts?

We just love this cool wood pistachio pedestal from Uncommon Goods.

Not only does it look sleek it’s functional.

This basketball wastebasket from Uncommon Goods would be a fun addition to Dad’s office to work on his shot while cleaning off his desk.

Another sentimental Father’s Day gift idea is a personalized photo mug from Shutterfly.

The mugs come in 11 or 15-ounce sizes and you can personalize them with the year and photos of your choice.

This mug is Chris’ favorite with pictures of his kids.

23. Dremel Cordless Screwdriver

We both have this awesome gadget in our homes and love it!

The Dremel cordless screwdriver is powerful yet small enough to fit in your kitchen junk drawer so it’s within close reach to use anytime.

24. Life is Good Hat

Remind Dad that Life is Good!

This Life is Good Mountains chill cap is another affordable Father’s Day gift idea that our three experts would love to have!

25. Personalized Star Map

Is Dad sentimental?

Then, give him a personalized map from Craft & Oak of the night you were born.

And if you have siblings, it would be so fun to create a photo wall of several maps from each birthdate!

When Craft & Oak reached out to us to review their products, I was super excited to create this star map for Chris.

I chose our wedding date and the location we were married since that’s the official date our family began.

We hope you found something great for the dads in your life from our list of 25 of the best Father’s Day gift ideas under $50.
