Father's Day gifts under $50
Mr. Bar-B-Q grilling caddy
You know how it usually takes your dad 14 trips from the kitchen to the backyard to get set up to cook dinner on the grill? Lighten his load with this adjustable grilling caddy that can carry grilling tools, condiments, sauces and even paper towels out to his cooking station in one trip. It'll save him time and energy -- and all of those inevitable broken jars. And even if he does spill, he'll have the paper towels handy already.
So this is kind of a gag gift, but it's also pretty genius. Toilet Golf is the type of thing he'll scoff at, then spend two hours playing the next day. This game includes a 3D-printed putting green, a putter, two golf balls, a cup with flag and even a "do not disturb" bathroom door hanger (of course). It's a memorable gift, even if Pops isn't a golfer.
Carhartt insulated lunch cooler
This isn't your average lunchbox. This durable, insulated canvas cooler is perfect for food and drinks. And, unlike most coolers, it has a handy top compartment to keep items separate. There's a front zipper pocket for condiments and utensils too, so your dear old dad can pack his favorite fork.
It would work well on a day trip in the great outdoors -- and is useful for a day at the office as well. The added bonus: It's covered by Carhartt's limited lifetime warranty.
Does your dad complain about how hot it is multiple times when you talk to him? Thought so! Perhaps he'll be able to better keep his cool with this handy portable fan. It features a whopping 100 speeds of wind (and blows with five times the speed of most handheld fans), can fit in his pocket and has 16 hours of battery life. He can take it to the bowling alley or golf green -- or even the grocery store, for that matter.
Not everyone wants a Stanley cup. For those who are looking for something that's a little more spill-proof, the Yeti Rambler is the way to go. It's on the pricey side, but it's seriously sturdy, fits nicely in a car's cup holder, and will keep beverages cold or hot for hours.
The New York Times Mini Crosswords
Does Dad start off every day with Wordle? Then chances are he's also playing other NYT games, like Connections, Strands and, of course, the Mini Crossword. The addiction is real. But this collection of Mini Crosswords will keep the word nerd action going...all day long.
Jack Black Skin Saviors set
When it comes to reliable skin care products, Jack Black is a classic. This set comes with all you need to cleanse and pamper your skin, including a daily facial cleanser, an SPF 20 sunscreen, a minty lip balm and an energizing facial scrub. It works well for all skin types -- and it's perfect for traveling too.
Wise Owl portable hammock
Is your dad a fan of camping or even just lounging around in the yard? He'll love this comfortable portable hammock. It comes with two 9-foot straps and two carabiners, so it's easy to set up pretty much anywhere. And it's light and compact -- perfect for tossing into a backpack.
HyperChiller beverage cooler
Grab this beverage cooler for your coffee-, wine- or beer-drinking dad for a quick cooldown of any warm drink. CNET's David Watsky reviewed the HyperChiller, and he was able to take a warm drink from 175 degrees to 59 degrees in just 2 minutes. So the next time your dad grabs a warm drink, hand him this for an upgraded experience.
Now that the weather is warming up, chances are Dad could use a new pair of flip-flops. Reef sandals are comfortable, durable and stylish. And the bottle opener on the soles will win major points. Prices range from $39 to $105 depending on style and color.
Premium bamboo cheese board set
Do you have a dad who loves to host get-togethers and show off his charcuterie designs? Give him this affordable bamboo cheese board set. This isn't just any old board. It's designed to serve large portions of snacks and has special ridges for crackers around the entire edge of the board. It even has a hidden drawer for holding cheese knives, labeling slates, a wine opener and carrying bag. Click the on-page coupon to get 50% off, bringing the final price down to $20.
Does Dad like outdoor games like cornhole or horseshoes? Believe us when we say that Molkky is way better -- and chances are he's never heard of it. This game is hugely popular in Europe, and it's great for all ages. You can set it up in your yard or take it to the beach or camping. Before you know it, everyone in your crew will be playing this highly addictive game.
Father's Day gifts over $50
If your dad is the type who sends you an excited text every time the yellow-rumped warbler visits his bird feeder, this gift is definitely for him. This bird feeder features a sneaky camera that's motion-activated and will allow Pops to get real-time notifications (via an app) about its visitors. It's like a Ring, but for birds.
It also features bird identification (a paid subscription is required after a free 30-day trial) so he can brag to all of his buddies about the vast array of birds that dine at his feeder. Better yet, it's equipped with night vision and two-way audio -- so he can listen to the birds and yell at you to get the mail on your way in.
Craft A Brew beer making kit
If your dad enjoys beer, he might also enjoy making a quality brew from scratch. This home brewing kit from Craft a Brew has everything he needs to make one gallon of beer. Choose from an IPA, American pale ale, hard cider, Hefeweizen and more. If he decides to dive further into brewing, he'll need to make some equipment upgrades, but this kit covers all the basics and is a great way to get started.
The SodaStream Terra is a popular machine, and we especially like it for making sparkling water. But if you want a machine that'll make any sort of fizzy beverage you could possibly want -- think sparkling juice, sparkling cocktails, you name it -- go for the Drinkmate OmniFizz. You'll need to buy new carbon dioxide once the sample canister runs out, but you can use any screw-in carbon dioxide cylinder, not just Drinkmate's.
Global G-2 classic 8-inch chef's knife
If Dad likes to whip up elaborate meals, he could probably use a fancy chef's knife for all his chopping, mincing and slicing needs. Global's popular 8-inch chef's knife is CNET's top pick for the best chef's knife out there. CNET's David Watsky notes that this Japanese-style blade "boasts a scary-sharp edge and a nimble-feeling lightweight body."
