The 20 Best Father’s Day Gifts Under $100

The Major V from Marshall is still the gold standard of affordable, yet tremendous wireless headphones. Dad doesn’t need noise-canceling.

If he grills, there’s nothing cooler than a Meater. This smart thermometer connects directly to his phone and will send back meat temps in real time. Spend some quality time together setting it up for him and then prepare to get texts every weekend about how much he loves it.

Get him a new outdoor hobby. This bird feeder will have him obsessed with birding within a week, it’s that easy.

If he really loves printing and framing family photos, this will let him do it right from his phone.

If he’s the kind of Dad that is actually up with the times and tech news, he will be impressed by this one. The Fitbit Air just came out, and is offering up a lightweight fitness tracker (comparable to the Whoop for a lower price) and getting him one will prove you know what’s cool.

This nifty tool will get more use from him than a traditional flashlight since it also transforms into a tent lamp. Plus, it’s fully water resistant so it can be left out all night without worry of killing the battery for good.

Listen, it’s nice if you have a dad who can work Google Photos. If not, and you still want to see snaps from all the places he visits because it’s adorable, get him this simple Kodak film camera. The shots will turn out great and it will be easier than the phone he never got used to.

This is a great Bluetooth speaker to just have around the house for playing his music, podcasts, whatever.

These bourbon glasses go straight in the freezer, forgoing the need for ice cubes. The best sub-$100 gift to go with that multiple-hundred-dollar bottle of Scotch he bought himself last Father’s Day.

This is an Esquire favorite fragrance going back years now. And yes, it does smell like you remember your dad smelling from growing up in the ’90s.

Nobody ever thinks about that Father’s Day is smack dab in the middle of summer. Get him a gift he can wear and use for the rest of it.

There are a lot of routes you can go gifting cookware, but most guys will appreciate cast-iron skillets. Perfect for searing some meats, and really, why cook anything else?

A man can never really have too many camping chairs, can he? Unlike all those others, this isn’t prone to breaking.

This waterproof GoBox can carry anything, but we recommend giving it to him as a new tackle box. He will immediately start planning his next fishing trip, we promise.

Sure, you can go with a Big Dog T-shirt, but something more mature says “I love you” a whole lot clearer. Try one of our unimpeachable favorite jackets around here, the Dickies Eisenhower. It’s casual, yet refined, perfect for dad.

If he’s into this kinda thing (writing, collecting pens, little luxuries) then a Kaweco is a pretty great gift. This beauty has a gold brass sheen and an extra-fine nib.

So, he definitely has a tape measure, but does he have one with a digital screen and a laser pointer? We thought not.

A not-so-subtle way to tell him its time to get rid of all those receipts that are making his wallet burst at the seams.

All we said is that you don’t have to get him a $1,000 watch. You can still totally get him a $100 watch.

If he’s the type to still have cassette tapes around from ~whenever~, then get him this retro style tape player boom box (radio included).
