Wireless Meat Thermometer
COURTESY OF MEATER
"At the risk of reinforcing the whole Barbecue Dad thing, I really have to recommend this smart thermometer. It works with an app to give you a moment by moment update of your ambient cooking temp AND your food temp, and even a countdown to when the food will be ready. Highly recommend for grilling and smoking projects, and for holiday cooking as well."

Classic Kindle
COURTESY OF AMAZON
"I recently gifted my dad a Kindle and he loves the simplicity of always having a book at his fingertips. He even visited his local library and learned how to set up an account to download books for free. He isn't tech savvy, but he had no trouble getting the hang of this new tool. Plus, he's reading more!"

The Frame TV
COURTESY OF SAMSUNG
"My husband has been wanting a bigger TV, but I've been resisting because I thought it would be an eyesore. This Father's Day I'm splurging on a gift that will make us both happy: The Frame TV looks so incredibly good when it's off—like an actual piece of art, not a screensaver—I'm happy to display it large-scale on the wall. Plus, you can change up the art whenever you like. The Frame also comes with access to the Samsung Art Store, which has thousands of pieces of digital art from leading museums like The Louvre and The Met. (I also love that you can upload your own file!)"

Noise-Cancelling Earbuds
COURTESY OF AMAZON
"My dad doubled as my cross country and track coach when I was in high school, and we still enjoy hitting the trail together when we can. He’s always listening to his favorite ‘80s songs while running, and these are the only earbuds he uses. They’re noise-canceling, sweat-resistant, and Bluetooth enabled, so you don’t have to worry about a wire swinging around while you’re on the move. It’s a bit of an investment, but Dad is worth it!"

Smart Coffee Mug
COURTESY OF EMBER
"My dad, a creature of habit, enjoys a cup of coffee (sometimes two) and does the crossword in the local newspaper every single morning. But sometimes amid that getting-ready-in-the-morning chaos, that cup of coffee goes cold pretty quickly! Exit the microwave, enter the Ember warming mug. I gifted this mug to him a few Christmases ago, and cold coffee—unless we're talking cold brew, my personal fave—is no longer a concern. It's a sleek, stylish mug that does exactly what it's designed to do; What more can you ask for? Truly a no-fuss, practical gift that any coffee-drinking parent or spouse will appreciate this Father's Day."

Butcher-Block Cutting Board
COURTESY OF THE BOARDSMITH
"We usually grill out for Father's Day, which often means my dad is the one making his own celebratory dinner. These handmade butcher-block cutting boards are the perfect choice for any dad who loves to cook because they’re such high quality and are pretty enough to display on the kitchen counter. I love the option to add a juice groove, and you can even have them engraved with a monogram or family name."

Pickleball Set
COURTESY OF WALMART
"We got a pickleball set for Christmas and just set it up this week. It's the perfect activity for my Dad and I to do together—full of laughs and good exercise for both of us. Highly recommend!"

Electric Bike
COURTESY OF AMAZON
"It's definitely a splurge, but my dad loves his electric bike! It's all the fun of biking without all the strenuous up-hill pedaling. If you're looking to go big this year, this is a great option for your outdoors-loving dad."
