9 Father's Day Gifts for Dads Who Want Nothing

Equally perfect for a playoff watch party, a guy’s weekend in the woods, or simply for shelf supply in the den, this highly portable bar-in-a-box contains all the necessities (well, almost all…whiskey and rum not included) to mix up four craft cocktails. Designed and curated in Brooklyn, New York — one of the world’s current capitals of hip mixed drinks — this kit comes equipped with all the syrups, bitters, oils, dried fruits, and supplies he’ll need to make four Old Fashioneds. Cheers to top-shelf parenting!

From Carhartt, one of America’s most respected workwear brands, this foundry gear bag with customized embroidery is an equally excellent gift for a fisherman, gardener, or handyman dad. Crafted from heavy-duty canvas with Carhatt’s Rain Defender™ coating, this custom satchel’s inner and outer pockets, secured with claw-clasp buttons or heavy-duty zippers, provide room for a tool kit and a half. Sons, this is a strategic buy: A Carhartt bag is classic, resilient, and likely to be inherited down the line, covered in plenty of pop’s hard-working character.

For the dad who literally does have it all, and is in need of a fun and secure way to store some of it, this personalized ammo box is a sure-shot gift both novel and useful. This piece is no cheap mockup but a vintage, built-to-last military surplus item — one well-weathered 50 Cal M2A1 ammo can. Roughly the size of a shoebox placed on its side, this container comes with a custom three-line message to dad printed on it as well as any unique markings from the time it was actually in use. Now that’s authentic!

And if you want to go big this year, order the box filled with hearty snacks curated for a dad’s appetite. 

Ideal for pit masters and starter chefs alike, this BBQ sauce trio boasts your choice of three sauces perfect for dressing meats and proteins of every sort. Pick from such tangy, spicy, or sweet options as Charred Pineapple Grilling Sauce, Bacon Chipotle Barbecue Sauce, Ginger Scallion Sauce, Char Siu Sauce, and many more mouthwatering varieties. Dad would have to be seriously lacking in the taste buds department to not find a new favorite in this thoughtfully assembled collection.

Of all dad’s most beloved sweets, ice cream may be the only one he's willing to share with others. (Don't even think of laying a finger on his stash of black licorice.) This ice cream sundae kit has everything he needs to indulge in his favorite frozen dessert creation: two pints of ice cream to form the base, eight cookie varieties for crumbling purposes, and sprinkles and fudge sauce to top it all off. And the best part is he doesn't have to be selfish with this gift, since there's plenty of ingredients to make sundaes for the whole family.

Ideal for a fisherman, camper, or sports tailgater father, this collapsible cooler-meets-folding-chair packs two outdoorsman must-haves into one portable package. Beneath the seat is an insulated space with room for 24 cans, as well as rear and front zippered pockets for angling supplies or adventuring necessaries. Less than half the size of a standard lawn chair when opened, and fashioned from a durable, easy-clean polyester with personalized embroidery, dad’s beer throne folds flat for easy carrying with a removable shoulder strap.

Easily one of history’s most imaginative bouquets (and who knows more about imaginative bouquets than us?), this beef jerky floral arrangement is equally awesome to admire, smell, and taste. Dad’s beef bouquet comes pre-arranged (sealed with oxygen absorbers for maximum freshness) in a Manly Man pint glass “vase,” fit into a custom-cut package for a special unboxing experience. Each “flower” is carefully assembled with two layers of petals and a blossom atop a thick jerky stem, making for a truly realistic, entertaining design.

When space is limited but fine drinks are indispensable, the 10-piece Bar Tool Roll Up Kit is the solution. All crucial mixology utensils are included: four cocktail sticks, a brushed muddler, a two-sided jigger, a Hawthorne strainer, a dual leverage corkscrew, a twisted-stem cocktail spoon, and an ice hammer. The waxed canvas sheath features fitted pockets, rolls up tight, and ties for portability and easy storage, ensuring everything stays in one place — so none of pop’s drink tools get mixed up during Junior’s play time.

No matter what size, style, or manner of gift ends up in your dad’s hands this Father’s Day, bacon-scented gift paper is a rare and unforgettable way to wrap things up. The sizzling, smoky scent will beg any man to tear right into it, so continue the aroma-fest with a rack of ribs. Just make sure the dog doesn’t get to it before he does!
