Best Father's Day Gift Ideas for DIY Dads in 2025

Breakfast just got way better. If he's into cooking breakfast (especially on the flat top), this set will be a hit. It comes with a batter dispenser for perfect pancakes, a bacon press, and two egg rings for "egg-cellent" round eggs every time. (You know he'll use that dad joke too.) It'll be the gift that keeps on giving every Sunday morning. 

If your dad is anything like mine, then you've heard him complain about dropping (then losing) screws or nails throughout every project he's ever done. But if he owned this telescoping magnetic tool set, you'd be hearing tales of victorious recovery efforts instead. The set comes with the following extendable tools: 1-pound pickup tool, 5-pound pickup tool, two different mirrors and a flashlight. It's practically impossible to lose even the smallest objects with these nifty gadgets. There's also a handy portable tool bag to house them all. 

If the dad in your life prefers his projects take place in the kitchen, he'll be smitten with this "whole shebang" variety pack of hot sauces from Red Clay. It incudes everything he needs to add amazing flavor to meals and beverages too: two hot sauces (Original and Carolina), Spicy Peach Honey (add it to ice cream!), Spicy Margarita Salt and Spicy Everything Salt. You'll earn extra points for recommending he add Spicy Everything Salt and a dash of Carolina hot sauce to his next breakfast sandwich.

If the DIY dad in your life has some young apprentices, snag him this fun VTech tool set so he can instill his craft on his kiddos (or grandkids!). He'll love being the foreman of these projects -- and other adults can appreciate the low-risk nature of this kit. There will be no holes in walls or chairs with missing legs, thankfully. The toddler-friendly set comes with a working spinning drill, hammer, wrench, screws and nails for endless fun. 

The DIY-obsessed dad in your life probably already has at least half of the garage dedicated to various tool storage and organization, but what about when he's on the go? This Olpr Leather Goods Co. tool pouch has plenty of pockets and loops for the tools Dad needs to carry with him on his tool belt, plus it's sleek and can be personalized with his initials. Whether Dad is into fishing, gardening, DIY projects or just can't stand to be too far away from his trusty hammer, he'll love this accessory. 

If your dad is the kind of guy who's always tinkering late at night, chances are he could really use some extra lighting. This portable, rechargeable flood light has five brightness modes, a magnetic base, a hanging hook and only weighs a little over a pound. It's great for all sorts of home projects and would even be useful for camping, fishing or any other activities Dad is into. 

This is the kind of gift for the father who is always ready to fix something at a moment's notice. This multitool includes a hammer, nail puller, plier and wire cutter. If your dad needs to do anything around the house, he can whip this out and fix just about anything. To make this gift even more special, you can engrave it with a personalized message.

As DIY dads move on in the hobby they will accumulate more and more "stuff." Nails, screws of various lengths, drill bits and all the small parts that make up an effective toolkit require a home, and that's where Ryobi Link comes in. Because these toolboxes are modular, you can start out small and buy them this base model. Then as they get more tools and more accessories, you can build on it until you have a full storage solution. You can even attach these to the wall using the Ryobi wall mounts. 

Being in the rugged outdoors can be fun, but it's even better when you're prepared. This emergency weather radio will give him everything needed to help withstand anything. It has a rechargeable battery, and he can power it in five ways: with AAA batteries, a hand crank, a 2,000-mAh power bank, a Micro-USB port and a solar panel. It also has a bright flashlight, weather broadcasts and an SOS alarm. 

Upon first glance, this looks like a funky retro transistor radio. But it's made of Lego! If the dad in your life is a fan of the '70s, music and building things with a zillion tiny pieces, this gift is a no-brainer. While it doesn't actually play music, it does play an era-correct crackle noise and music snippets. The recipient can also connect their smartphone via the back panel and at least pretend it's playing through the radio. If nothing else, it makes for great decor and a fun conversation piece. 

Are you tired of seeing your dad wear the same grease-stained clothes all the time? Then these personalized overalls are just the thing for the guy who loves working on cars or generally getting filthy while working on projects. They are great for protecting clothing and also have plenty of pockets (even a leg pocket!) for useful tools. They can be customized with up to three lines of text (18 characters per line) and come in regular or tall lengths for sizes medium to XXL. 

When your dad is working with heavy machinery and needs something to protect his ears, he'll thank you for these ear protectors from 3M. These have Bluetooth technology that connects to a phone or any Bluetooth-enabled device. There is an integrated microphone for hands-free calls and even an AM/FM radio so your dad can jam out to his favorite stations while having his ears protected up to 24 decibels. 

Is your dad in need of new tools? This 108-piece DeWalt chrome mechanic's tool set is a great one that has a removable power tools accessory case. Tools include hex keys, nut drivers, ratchets, a socket extender and much, much more.
