26 Father’s Day Gifts That’ll Make Dad Super Happy

My dad is the person who makes pancakes in my family. My husband and I recently bought a new house about 20 minutes away from where my parents live, and he still texts me every Sunday morning and says, "Pancakes?" This set comes with Material's nonstick skillet and spatula and Food + People's pancake mix. Which, I can confirm, makes super-fluffy, delicious pancakes.

Grilling season is here! Which means it's also grilled steak season. And if dad loves steak (grilled or not), these knives are an amazing gift. They're sleek, comfortable to hold, super-sharp, and cut through things like butter. You can buy them in a set of four or eight!

This is a pretty, ahem, unmeatable gift. It comes with two thick cut New York strip steaks and a MEATER+ bluetooth thermometer for a perfect cook every time. The thermometer's easy to set up and its phone app is easy to use. And the steaks are pasture-raised, dry aged, and absurdly delicious.

No matter what kind of cook your dad is, baking sheets are a must-have. They're essential for baking cookies, making sheet pan dinners, broiling salmon, and more. These ones from Nordic Ware are durable, warp-resistant, and have sizeable walls that make them easy to move into and out of the oven.

I recently tried this for the first time and had to have my dad over to have a slice, too. It's made with roasted pecans and has caramel baked between two layers of sugar dough. It's then entirely encased in dark or milk chocolate and embossed with a chocolate stamp of the confiseur. You can't typically find this dessert in the U.S. (it's a speciality of Engadine, Switzerland) and it's such a nice gift. I'll be giving one to my father-in-law!

Hedley & Bennett recently released a camo version of their Waxman apron (which is made from waxed canvas and pretty much indestructible!). If your dad is a serious griller, smoker, or otherwise barbecue enthusiast, this apron is built to handle it all.

If your dad loves to cook and doesn't own a knife sharpener, now's the time to get him one! This model by Chef'sChoice is super easy to use, compact, and has separate slots for 15- and 20-degree knives and serrated knives/polishing!

This kit really is *everything* — just like your dad! It has all the things your dad will need to make a dozen everything bagels and homemade cream cheese. Dad will love mixing, roping, looping, and boiling the bagels!

It looks like beer but it's ... spices! These beer-infused rubs will have your dad grilling happily all summer long. Imagine: Chicken thighs with Honey Mustard IPA Rub or Jalapeno Lime Pilsner Rub wings.

My dad has gotten very into making cocktails this past year. And he has a pool, which is, obviously, located NOT in the kitchen. I'd like to get him this tote, which has an insulated canister that can hold up to three pounds of ice and several different pockets for cocktail supplies, limes, lemons, cups, and more! Margaritas poolside? I think my dad would love it.

Nothing tells your dad that you love his cheesy jokes more than this subscription gift. Each month, club members receive three Jasper Hill cheeses along with extra goodies, like cheese tools, things to pair with the cheese, cocktail mixers, and more! For the June box, pâté, foraged pickles, and mustard will be included!

This water bottle is flat, which makes it pretty unique and perfect for stashing in a backpack, luggage, or in pockets! A dad who's always on the go or travels a lot would appreciate it. It's made from stainless steel and suitable for hot and cold liquids.

For the dad who loves bourbon, this a great gift that gives back. It's made from non-GMO ingredients sourced exclusively from Wyoming and is the first collectible limited-edition release in an annual National Park Foundation series. Wyoming Whiskey will donate $5 to support the protection of America's national parks for every bottle sold!

For the serious pizza-enthusiast, this oven is a dream. It reaches 932°F in 25 minutes, which means it can make pizza that looks like it came out of a wood-fired oven in 60 seconds. If you're *already* going down in history as the greatest gift giver of all time, this pizza station and cover are excellent add-ons.

This cold brew tower is the ultimate gift for coffee drinkers who love to tinker! (Tinker drinkers?!) You can read more about how it works here!

Sometimes, a gift card is a great idea — especially if it's this gift card. Vermont Wagyu raises 100 percent full-blooded Wagyu that's grass-fed and pasture-raised, with no hormones or steroids or unncecessary antibiotic usage. They sell Wagyu burgers, steaks, sausages, and more. Let Dad pick out what he wants!

For serious gin dads, this set of four gin glasses is a great gift. The tulip-shaped glass, according to the company, "allows gin lovers to enjoy the full aromatic expression of the gin's botanicals." You could pair the glasses with, you guessed it, a nice bottle of gin!

This stand mixer is super powerful and will last forever, and the attachments are awesome, too. Your dad needs one for cookies, breads, cakes, and more!

This set comes with three spices (Piri Piri, Blackening Rub, Jerk Seasoning) and a "Spice Daddy" apron. The latter was "tested and approved by our resident chef and dad, Meherwan Irani & rapper and producer, T-Pain," the company says. WHAT?!

There's maple syrup, and then there's this maple syrup. If your dad loves pancakes, waffles, and French toast and is a serious syrup person, get him this. We were actually just talking about this syrup on a work call and so many Kitchn editors vouched for it.

If your dad loves to camp, get him this next-level, portable Traeger grill. It includes a probe thermometer for accurate grilling (no undercooked chicken!) and has an 84-square-inch grilling surface, which can fit six burgers or 10 hot dogs. A cover and wood pellets (which the grill runs on) complete the gift.

My dad makes toast almost every morning. And if your dad's like mine, they need a great toaster. This is great and also smart. It has an intuitive touchscreen, actually works faster than regular toasters, and has settings for bread, bagel, waffle, toaster pastry, and English muffin.

Got a dad who has been wanting to get into pasta making? Then this is for him! This model from Marcato is probably the best manual pasta maker on the market — it's super easy to use, and rolls and cuts pasta like a dream.

My dad has the greenest thumb — seriously, he can grow anything! If your dad's the same, he'd enjoy this elevated herb garden. It has eight separate pockets to easily grow eight different herbs. If your dad has a bad back or knees, he'll love that he doesn't have to bend over to snip herbs with this hip-height planter.

If you're dad's serious about wine, this system from Coravin will be his new best friend. It both aerates wine and preserves it for up to four weeks. He can have a glass of a nice bottle and save the rest for later. Is it magic? No, it's the Coravin.

And, finally, if your dad likes to camp, tailgate, take road trips, or has a boat, this is the cooler to get him. It has unbelievable cold rentention, is super durable, and has long handles with comfortable grips. It really is worth the hype.
