1. Amazon Essentials Men’s 2-Pack Loose-Fit Performance Shorts
When it’s time to pick up a gift that’s useful and affordable for men, you must start with something that’s ACTIVE, and comfy shorts for all-terrain use are one of the first options to look into. With so many brands out there to pick from, this time we go with Amazon Essentials’ loose-fit performance shorts. These are perfect for everyday use at home as well as for all kinds of training and sports. Made out of 100% polyester, these performance shorts are strong enough to be regularly used for outdoor and indoor activities and resist multiple machine washes throughout the month.

2. RAK Magnetic Pickup Tool with LED Lights
There are men who are made for making and fixing things, and there are people who love them and don’t know what to get them. While we have a few of those gifts along this post, the RAK Magnetic Pickup LED flashlight is a very practical nifty little gadget that allows you for much-needed direct, easy-to-maneuver light to work on stuff you would normally require the assistance of another human being. It’s awesome for automotive repairs, HVAC, camping, fishing, boating, and pretty much any outdoor activity that can also be enjoyed at night! It’s powered by four (4) LR44 batteries, and the item includes eight (8) batteries already.
RAK Magnetic Pickup Tool with LED Lights: $14.99
3. LHKNL 1100 Lumen Headlamp Flashlight
One of my best friends has this headlamp and after seeing it in action I can testify its utility and practicality, and that’s the main reason why this goes here. It comes as a pack of two, making it even more of a kick-ass gift. It’s waterproof and features eight modes for the main and side beams, from weaker to stronger beam, and even red beam and SOS red strobe. This is another perfect gift for men who enjoy night outdoor activities and fixing things in general! The manufacturer provides 2-year quality assurance and 60-day full money back, but judging from what I’ve seen, this headlamp is built to last. And worst-case scenario, you have one extra!
LHKNL 1100 Lumen Headlamp Flashlight: $22.99
4. Naipo Back Massager
Adult life comes with knots everywhere, we know that. The Naipo Back Massager is a heaven-sent device that’s built to fight the pains that come with wisdom, and it’s highly adjustable too! You can adjust the straps so you can pinpoint exactly the source of the pain, and you can regulate its heat and intensity. It comes in neat packaging and it includes a lovely traveling bag to fit it anywhere. Reviews rave about its practicality, and it’s the perfect companion for well-deserved relaxation days, with plenty of modes to further enjoy relaxing. Don’t wait for a birthday to come to give this as a present!
Naipo Back Massager: $59.99
5. Verifygear 17-in-1 Professional Survival Gear
You could argue that a proper survivalist would already be prepared and doesn’t need anything, but in some cases, you’d be wrong. Survivalism is a movement that has been on the rise as of late, especially with the pandemic, and many enthusiasts are just getting started with it. This 17-in-1 gear tool kit comes packed with plenty of gadgets to take out on an outdoor adventure, be it hiking, hunting, fishing, and wilderness survival. The pack itself is lightweight and compact for optimal storage in a backpack or car drawer, just like its cost. While the most hardcore survivalists would cherry-pick every item themselves, this is a great starting point if you want to give a thoughtful gift.
Verifygear 17-in-1 Professional Survival Gear: $29.99
6. Tactical Pen 8-in-1
Another tactical item that caught our attention was this crafty 8-in-1 tactical pen, a truly unique gift for men who think they have it all. It’s great for taking outdoors, but it’s also really useful to have around the house as well. Use it for practical handyman work and take it on the road without even noticing how much stuff you pack in its slim body. It works great as a Father’s Day gift and for men who like tactical gear. Fix furniture, open bottles, and write haikus. This pen has it all.
Tactical Pen 8-in-1: $13.98
7. Kollea Grill Scraper
Summer brings the grilling season back to a high, and the Kollea Grill Scraper appears to be an interesting gift that may go unnoticed by most people. Its weird shape is due to the 10 grooves that make it useful for most grill grates. It’s the perfect match for any worthy grill. It goes without saying that this heavy-duty item is made out of stainless steel, making it more durable than brass and aluminum scrapers. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to store. It’s an ideal gift for BBQ lovers!
Kollea Grill Scraper: $9.99
8. Beer Can and Bottle Cooler with Beer Opener Eco Friendly
Is there anything worse than a cold beer? Yes, there is. But what if you could at least keep your beer from losing its chill? That’s why we brought to your attention Asobu’s Frosty beer bottle cooler. While you can use it in the comfort of your own home, the beach and warm places are where you want to take it out the most. It comes in a variety of colors, including marble, copper, metallic rainbow, black, and classic silver. It has the perfect size for any beer can or bottle, so be sure to make this an awesome gift for your beer-loving pal.
Beer Can and Bottle Cooler with Beer Opener Eco Friendly: $29.99
9. Portable Car Vacuum Cleaner
ThisWorx’s car vacuum cleaner is an ideal gift for car care lovers. It’s lightweight, compact, and easy to use, and you can even store it in your car’s trunk without taking too much space. Perfect for dads, brothers, uncles, and granddads who are just too much into their cars and need to have them pristine all the time. Is your friend a car cleaning freak? This vacuum might be the gift you’re looking for. This is a powerful device that, according to reviews, gets the job done. It does not, however, remove glitter, as we know that thing just doesn’t go away, ever.
Portable Car Vacuum Cleaner: $34.99
10. 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos
One of the best-sellers by a margin, Jordan B. Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life is a compendium of thoughts, philosophies, and life lessons put together to bring some order to the chaos that our lives often fall into. Modern life is challenging, and in this book, you or whoever reads it will find some key lesson that’s exactly what was needed to hear. While not an easy read, it sure is a valuable one. It’s a great gift in both its paperback, eBook, or audiobook form. Put any idea or notion about Peterson aside when you dive into this book to get the most out of it. If you want a life-changing gift to give, this is it.
12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos: $14.06
11. Nintendo Switch Lite
We have recommended the Nintendo Switch vanilla version, and this time, although a bit of a downgrade, we wanted to include the budget-friendly Nintendo Switch Lite version. It’s perfect for those who enjoy playing the full handheld mode since it lacks detachable joycons. The main reason why we bring this version here is due to being easier on the investment than its fully-packed counterpart. All in all, the Nintendo Switch Lite delivers practical fun all around the house (it requires an internet connection), and it’s meant to be used as a fully portable device rather than a console. Consider it as an upgrade to Nintendo 2DS/3DS, or if you want a portable companion to your Nintendo Switch console.
Nintendo Switch Lite: $55.99
12. Engraved Large 2-Tone Bamboo Cutting Board for Dad
Some people go crazy about personalized gifts, and we stumbled onto this engraved bamboo cutting board mainly for BBQ-loving dads. This one is spacious enough to fit and organize plenty of food. It comes with instructions on how to best take care of it, especially to prolong the lifetime of the wood. It’s a very durable item, made to withstand years of heavy chopping and slicing action. Countless reviews vouch for its superb quality, which truly makes it a great dad gift with a special personal touch to it. Perfect for birthdays, summer, or even as a Christmas gift.
Engraved Large 2-Tone Bamboo Cutting Board for Dad: $49.99
13. EastPoint Sports Bristle Sets
The EastPoint Sports dartboard is one of the most cost-efficient dartboards in the market right now, which makes it an awesome home hobby gift for teens and adults. An obvious game room gift as well, you can take the bar to your living room with this properly-sized dartboard. Make sure you hang it properly on the wall since it looks really good and the chalkboards give it more of a professional look-and-feel. The packaging is overall very neatly put together, which makes it an even more enjoyable gift to open up. What we love the most about this one is that it doesn’t require a screen, and you can spend entire days playing with it either by yourself or with family and friends.
EastPoint Sports Bristle Sets: $39.99
14. Home-Complete HC-1000 BBQ Accessories
There are so many BBQ items out there that it’s very difficult narrowing it down to just one or two. In the case of Home-Complete’s 16PC grill set, we are certain we are making the right decision by adding it to the list. It comes with everything you need to make a BBQ run smoothly; season steaks with the basting brush, flip what’s needed with tongs and spatula, skewer meat and veggies, or apply corn holders to nip on that cob. HC-1000 BBQ accessories are made of stainless steel and built to last. It’s perfect for keeping at home or taking out on the road, as it comes with a practical case. Get this for a Father’s Day your dad won’t forget!
Home-Complete HC-1000 BBQ Accessories: $28.37
15. SNES Classic Edition
It’s been 31 years since the release of the original SNES, and it has been one of the most important and played consoles in gaming history. For the nostalgia fans, this is the gift you should be looking out for. Its game portfolio packs some of the most incredible games ever made, with everything going from platforms to RPG and fighting games. The SNES still has it all to ensure decades of quality gaming. While this one is not the real OG deal, it still delivers awesome games and hours of gameplay with that original retro feel. Do consider that this device doesn’t support HDMI, so make sure you got the proper connections on your screen of choice.
SNES Classic Edition: $279.79
16. Funny & Retro T-shirts
One of the online t-shirt stores I love the most is 80s Tees, and whenever I get the chance (like now), I bring them up as a great place to get cool t-shirts for dads, boyfriends, and husbands. You can find thousands of kick-ass designs from Movies, Music, Series and anything Retro and Pop Culture. They usually take about 5 business days to print and process products, and their shipping is awesome! Free shipping on orders $50 and up, or just $5,47 per item, which is fine by us.
Funny & Retro T-shirts
17. Gift Coffee Mug
In the world of funny mugs, quote mugs like this one are oftentimes the go-to gifts for special occasions. Maybe you broke your dad’s favorite mug, what are you going to do? You pull up one of these and you’re good to go. What we love the most about mug gifts is that mugs are pretty much all the same, but it’s the intention and the personal joke that gets the job done most of the time. Even if you don’t get this one, be sure to think about quote mugs or t-shirts as a great gift idea for fathers. Because sometimes dad isn’t the best, but the most okayest.
Gift Coffee Mug: $5.53
18. Libbey Can Shaped Beer Glass
Beer can glasses are also a neat detail for birthdays, and Libbey beer-shaped glasses are extremely popular as of late. This pack includes 4 16oz glasses which come securely packaged, and they’re really affordable! These are perfect for alcoholic beverages and drinks, as well as for iced teas and iced coffee as well. As a side tip, keep them in the freezer before using them!

19. ASICS Men’s Gel-Venture 7 Running Shoes
We loooove sport and fitness, and when we went out looking for gift ideas for men, one of the items we found to be extremely popular on Amazon were these ASICS Gel-Venture 7 running shoes, which come in 20 variations. This running shoe model features Rearfoot GEL technology that softens shock and impact on hard surfaces, and the patented Ortholite X-40 Sockliner that features rebound properties and enhanced breathability, which is key for runners. ASICS is known to provide excellent products for athletes, and these running shoes are proof of it. Make these a birthday present for dad!
ASICS Men’s Gel-Venture 7 Running Shoes: $19.44
20. SAMSUNG Galaxy Watch Active2
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 is another extremely popular gift for men, which features tons of tools and functionalities that give better insights for goal-achievers. Its simple yet modern and sleek design makes it a fashionable item to wear as a luxury accessory as well as a practical watch to use at the gym or when going out for a run. It includes a built-in sleeper tracker aimed to give insights on getting a good night’s sleep, and it also monitors stress that you can work on with the Calm app that’s also included. Its store description states it lasts for more than 5 days on a single charge, so it’s worth the investment.
