Why are all dads so dang hard to shop for? Besides being notoriously tight-lipped about what they actually ​want,​ they're also into so many different things, so it can be extra difficult to drum up clever ideas. But alas, Father's Day is the one day a year when we try to dial back our eye-rolling and genuinely embrace dad's weird hobbies, whatever they are.

While we're 99% certain that dear old dad would tell us he "doesn't need anything" this year if asked, we beg to differ — which is why we've rounded up our favorite gift ideas, from outdoorsy stuff he can use while adventuring to indoorsy stuff for interests he discovered in 2020 and still obsesses over. Scroll down to see our favorite gift ideas.

We're partial to the tech-y matte black colorway in which this model now comes.

28. For the dad who did "dry January"... and never looked back:Monday Non-Alcoholic Gin, $40

31. For the dad who loves gadgets (especially in the kitchen):Brava Oven, starting at $1,295

Think of this as an air fryer meets microwave. The Brava uses powerful infrared energy, like that from an oven or grill, so it can heat up quicker than traditional ovens.

45. For the dad with an unmatched novelty beer cozy collection:Brumate Hopsulator TRiO in Walnut, $29.99
