Gift ideas for dad, even if he "has everything"
Dads are famous for saying they don't need anything. Here's how to get past that and find something he'll actually use.
4.1%
of the 12,282 real gift requests we analysed were for dad. Mom is asked about 1.7 times more often, so dads get less thought than they deserve. See the research.
"Don't get me anything" is the most common thing dads say about presents, and it's almost never true. What they usually mean is: don't get me something I'll have to pretend to like.
The trick is the same as with any hard-to-buy-for person. Find the one thing he spends his weekends on, then make it better, easier or more fun.
Find his thing
For the dad who runs the grill
A small tabletop grill, a good thermometer, or a proper tool set. Grillers love gear that makes them look like they know what they're doing.

View in storeThree tips that always work
- Think about his weekends, not his job. Hobbies make the best gift starting point.
- If he truly has everything, give him something to eat, drink or do together.
- Personalise it. A name or date on a glass or wallet makes a simple gift feel chosen.
Questions people ask
What do you get a dad who has everything?
Something to eat, drink or do. A food basket, a personalised glass, or an experience you share usually beats another gadget.
What's a good gift for an outdoorsy dad?
Practical gear he'll use often: a camping chair, a small grill, a fire pit or a good multi-tool. Quality matters more than size.
What if my dad says he doesn't want anything?
Take it to mean he doesn't want clutter. Pick something he'll use up or use every week, and tie it to a hobby he already has.
