If you've ever tried shopping for your dad, you know that it's not a simple task. It feels like dads always already have what they need, tells you there isn't anything they want or that they'd be happy with just a card. This year, you can get him something thoughtful and that supports his well-being.
Whether your dad is deep into fitness, needs a little TLC or even loves to grill, I rounded up the best Father's Day gifts to keep your dad healthy. From affordable self-care finds to more techy splurges, these picks will help dad feel good (and he'll actually use them).
Under $50: Budget wellness gifts that still feel luxe
Dr Teal's Epsom Salt Soaks (Lavender or Eucalyptus)
It's the small rituals in our daily lives that go the farthest. A warm bath with Epsom salt can help Dad ease sore muscles, destress and even sleep better. These are easy to find, affordable and really underrated.
Bulldog Skincare and Grooming Kit
This line is simple, affordable and contains great ingredients. Dad may be low-maintenance, but he could still use a little nudge to get into skincare, and this is a great starting kit.
If your dad is constantly forgetting to drink water, this bottle is great to keep handy. This insulated tumbler will keep his drinks cold for hours (and he'll be keeping up with the trends).
Shiatsu Neck and Shoulder Massager
OK, I have one of these, and my dad steals it from me any time he comes to visit. This device gives you deep-kneading massages with subtle heat. It also comes with a wall and car adapter so he can use it on the go.
Tuktobe Home Resistance Training Kit
This kit is super versatile, and it can be used for home workouts, stretching, or even taking it while traveling.
Hanes Men's Moves Performance, Athletic Moisture-Wicking Shorts
I love the whole Hanes Move collection -- it's affordable and really great quality. This is performance wear that feels as good on the couch as it does at the gym.
Under $150: Best midrange-priced wellness gifts for dad
This little one is a favorite among our CNET staff. It's seriously impressive for the size and fits in any gym bag or nightstand drawer.
Aerflo portable carbonated water bottle
If your dad is anything like mine, he loves a glass of sparkling water. Now, you can gift him a bottle that will carbonate his water on the go. The Aer1 System is lightweight and microplastic-free, so your dad will stay hydrated all day long.
This one is for the art-loving dad. I love the limited-edition compost caddy because saving the environment should be stylish! You can even give him a matching Liquid Sensor Pump ($90) to build the collection.
Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug
If your dad gets busy and forgets to drink his coffee until it's too cold, this one's for him. It'll keep his coffee at the perfect temperature until he's ready.
McLaren F1 Team x Loop Switch 2
One overlooked health aspect is our hearing, and it wasn't until I had a hearing test recently that I realized how much noise we're constantly exposed to. Loop recently collaborated with McLaren to launch a unique and limited-edition color for its Switch 2 earplugs. I use mine on the train, during concerts and when flying by plane.
This one is for dads who are wellness-curious but don't want to be glued to a screen all day. This small but mighty fitness tracker will give you insights into your sleep, heart rate and stress levels.
This eye massager heats up, massages your eyes and plays soothing sounds, perfect for the dad who has screen-tired eyes or tension headaches.
Oral-B iO Series 5 Electric Toothbrush
Taking care of yourself starts with the basics, and this is one dad will surely use on the daily. This toothbrush has 3D teeth tracking, smart pressure sensor and LED indicator lights.
$150+: Splurge-worthy wellness gifts that dad will actually use
Whoop 5.0 with a one-year membership
This screenless fitness tracker is all about the data and AI coaching. It'll give you information about your strain, recovery, sleep quality and will help you build smarter habits.
If you're dad takes his sear seriously, he'll love this BPA-free, stovetop-friendly pan that delivers grill marks and flavor without the flare-ups. It's a must-have for indoor barbecue days and rainy day ribeyes.
If dad is a runner, cyclist or just enjoys working out outside, but you worry his headphones tune him out too well from environmental noises, the Shoks OpenDots One can solve that problem. I use these when going for my outdoor run, and I love that I can listen to my music but also stay aware of car and bike noises near me.
I absolutely love this fitness tracker, and I'm sure your dad will, too. It looks like jewelry and works like a wellness lab. This ring tracks sleep, readiness, and heart rate and when paired with Stelo, it can track your glucose level
Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells
Our staff awarded these dumbbells an Editors' Choice badge for good reason. They are durable, make up 15 sets of weights and come with a JRNY membership included.
CNET thinks these are the best sleeping earbuds on the market. They're comfortable enough to wear all night long and will help dad get a good night's rest, so he's ready to grill the next day.
