We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.

Even if your dad swears they "DoN't wAnT aNyThiNG," they'll love these gifts.

Hi shoppers! At this point, it's likely that some gifts may not arrive in time for 6/18: it all depends on the retailer, the item, where you live, and how much $$$ you're willing to spend on expedited shipping.

So please enjoy our gift ideas, but understand that, for many of these items, you'll have to simply let your loved one know that their gift may be arriving *later*.

1. A pasta maker since nothing beats freshly-made pasta, and your home-chef papa is sure to agree. This pasta maker can whip up anything from ravioli to fettuccine with the turn of a crank.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I purchased this as a gift for a friend who's had a lifelong dream of making homemade pasta. It's a high-quality machine. I was immediately accused of spending 'too much money' on the gift. Functionally, it's very intuitive and performs smoothly right out of the box. We made fettuccini and the dough came out evenly rolled, there were no kinks in the process whatsoever, and the results were delicious (especially for a first attempt)." —Zora F.

"Gift for my dad. HE LOVES IT! Can't stop talking about it and how he loves making pasta now...great addition for all pasta lovers." —wildwarr

Price: $64.99

2. A super smart adjustable bottle and can cooler that can both keep your dad's favorite cans of beer, soda, or sparkling water cold, AND completely insulate a glass bottle with its bottle attachment. This is great if your dad always brings a cooler of refreshments during beach days, fishing trips, or BBQs! Oh, and the top portion of this cooler contains a bottle opener. Isn't that neat?

amazon.com

Promising review: "FANTASTIC! I love this product because it can be used with bottled beer as well as canned beer. Two products for the price of one!! It does a wonderful job of keeping your beverage cold for a very long time. I like the fact that it has a 'cover' for beer bottles so no critters have access to enjoying your beverage!!! Great product at a wonderful price!!!" —K. Smith

Price: $29.99 (available in 12 colors)

3. A quick-dry swim tee if papadukes can't go a day without some fun water sports! This shirt is equipped with UPF 50 to further prevent any burning on their back and shoulders while they ride their Jet Ski around the lake!

amazon.com

Promising review: "The color of this shirt and the finish of this shirt is wonderful! My son tried a few SPF shirts and hated their feel or the fit was awkward. This one fit like a glove and is very comfortable. The blue color is gorgeous and he wore it kayaking in Florida and then to a fancy restaurant for an early dinner. No one would have known this was a swim shirt and not a high-end, short-sleeve dress pullover!" —Lilyloo

Price: $12.53+ (available in sizes XS-XXL, XXL Tall, and in 13 colors)

4. A set of gourmet truffle hot sauces, because your dad loves fancy condiments — and loves to up the heat on their meals. Reviewers love the extra dose of flavor this set brings to their lunches and dinners.

amazon.com

Set includes Truff Hot Sauce, Truff Hotter Sauce, and White Truff Sauce.

Promising review: "Love this hot sauce trio. The hint of truffle is just magnificent. I love spicy food, so believe me when I say that I put this in pretty much everything I eat. Great value for your money. If you want to elevate your food, I'd highly recommend that you try this sauce." —S. Roberson

Price: $69.99

5. A smart oven, which looks like your average countertop toaster oven, but is actually *so* much more. It also air fries, broils, bakes, and dehydrates. So if your dad loves trying to cook new foods and complex recipes, but doesn't have a ton of time (or is prone to...hmm, how do we put this lightly... "confusion" in the kitchen), this oven, with its easy to control buttons and settings, is just the thing for them.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "We've had ours since December 2017 and I absolutely love it!! I bought my mom one for Mother's day and they love it as much as I do. I can't even begin to list all of the features that I love because there are so many. We are most impressed by the cookie setting and the air fryer setting. We've made several things with the air fryer setting we love, roasted corn, hot dogs (THE BEST!) grilled cheese, quesadillas are just a few things I use it for all the time. I live in the South, summer is always my least favorite time of year to be in the kitchen, the Breville Smart Oven Air doesn't warm up the entire house so it's absolutely perfect for summer. I've also noticed a significant decrease in our electric bill during both the summer and winter months." —Amazon Customer

Price: $399.95

6. A sound machine that plays hours upon hours of white noise and nature sounds, so that your papa can finally catch the ZZZs they deserve! 🛌

amazon.com

The machine has 20 different sound settings, and can be set to play for 1-5 hours or continuous play.

Promising review: "I like the look and feel, and I love the sound of the fire and beach sounds. This has a big punch for something small enough to fit in your hand." —ShopGirl

Price: $21.99

7. A wooden foot massager, because, get this: did you know that there are over 7,000 nerve endings in each foot? This massager will *literally* help soothe your dad's nerves and their aching arches whenever they need it.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I've been having so many issues with my feet the last few years. My feet hurt so bad, it's made me become a hermit. I've had tendinitis in both and now plantar fasciitis. I get foot cramps all the time. After just one day with this under my desk at work, I feel a huge difference. My feet no longer feel tight and painful. They feel tingly — in a good way. I look forward to being able to go for a walk and not have to rest along the way. I know it's meant for feet but I may try it out on my calves. I also love that it's small, looks nice and doesn't slide around. I highly recommended this for anyone, foot issues or not, if you sit a lot. Nice way to keep the blood flowing when stuck at a desk." —Vanessa Thomas

Price: $15.99+ (available in two sizes)

8. And while we're on massagers, a 10-motor massage mat for those days when all your dad needs is to relaaaaax. This mat has two heating pads *and* it vibrates, so all they'll have to do is lie on this mat to warm up any kinks in their back and soothe their sore muscles.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I've had several massage mats and this one is great. It has a nice comfortable soft foam pillow feel so you don't feel like you're sitting on the massage motors. And it's so quiet, you hardly hear it yet the massagers are quite powerful. I highly recommend this one." —TJ Ferrara

Price: $78.99+ (available in two versions)

9. Or a Theragun mini, because being a dad can be laborious! This next-level massage device gets deep into knots all along the back, shoulders, legs, and arms, so that your father can relieve pain and tension, and go back to feeling like their usual, goofy self.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "As soon as I got my Theragun Mini, I opened it and immediately fired it up because my back and neck have been hurting for weeks from spending all my time in front of my computer... I didn't even spend time reading the manual, but it was extremely easy to learn how to turn it on and how to change the settings. I didn't have much experience with these types of products, so I started with the low setting and it felt great. The smaller size made it easy to maneuver by myself and I could reach my back with no problem (and for the record, I'm not the most flexible guy). I wasn't sure if it was working at first, as mostly it felt kind of ticklish and weird, but when I turned it off after about two to three minutes, I immediately felt the difference. My back felt looser and the pain in my neck had reduced. I would definitely recommend buying this if you suffer from minor soreness or muscle tightness!" —Ray

Price: $148+ (available in four colors)

10. A three-piece Beast Blender kit that comes with a water infusion thermos, so that your dad can drink their lemon water in the morning without worrying about seeds floating around! This mini blender can also make to-go-sized shakes and smoothies, while the thermos infuses herbs and fruits into drinking water all day long.

Amazon

Promising review: "I've been using another blender for the past 10 years and this thing totally blows it out of the water. The blend is smooth and even, super easy to clean, and I love how compact the unit is (plus it's pretty). I also bought the hydration bottle and love putting loose tea or berries in it. I really wanted to take the plunge on a more expensive option but chose this instead and I am so happy I did. A great product at a fraction of the price." —Archival Edge

Price: $195 (available in three colors)

11. A portable espresso machine for your coffee-loving padre who can't bear the idea of being without their morning espresso. This is perfect if your dad is outdoorsy and spends practically every weekend on the trail. It's manually operated, so no electricity is needed — just hot water.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This was a gift for my son to take hunting/camping/fishing as he loves having his morning coffee. He found it extremely easy to use, easy to clean and the result was a perfect espresso shot. It was such a big hit that the fella he went hunting with came home and ordered one himself. Thanks to all the reviews I read about this particular brand as their honest statements caused me to purchase this. The quality of the unit is exceptional and I would recommend it to anyone inquiring." —P. Castaneda

Price: $54.90

12. A mini projector so that your film-loving padre can project their favorite movies at home with style. This mini projector has a focus-adjusting feature to make sure picture quality is impeccable and can stand on a tripod for the perfect projection height. Say hello to family cinema nights!

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "My boyfriend got this for me and it works so well! The picture quality is pretty good and you can adjust the focus if needed. It's got great color and can be really bright in a dark room. I would really recommend this if you don't have enough space for a TV in your room or just to watch with a group! The remote required two AA batteries and you have to point at the projector to manage the settings. I would really recommend this to anyone, especially for a gift!! I love it!" —M

Price: $69.99

13. An outdoor pizza oven because I'm not implying that your dad has any favorite kids — but, mamma mia, you'll definitely rise in the ranks by giving your Italian food-loving dad the ability to make their very own pizza Napoletana right in the backyard.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I love my little Roccbox perhaps more than I love my children. It is the perfect size for making a delicious personal pizza, it heats up quickly and it delivers an amazing crust (with the right dough recipe). This is what I have been looking for all my life. I have made about 100 pizzas so far and it has held up well. It is going to get soot on the front and look a bit dirty. You can either clean it up or just let it be. Regardless it will still make great pizza. Oh, and it is just the right size to throw in the car to take on a road trip." —K. Brady

Price: $499

14. A 29-piece grooming kit if your dad seems to spend every other day at the barbershop. The trimmer, attachments, and scissors can help maintain facial and regular hair — so this kit will save them major cash in the long run.

amazon.com

This kit includes one electric trimmer, 21 attachment heads, two brushes, one comb, one pair of scissors, one scissor case, one carrying case, and one charging cord. 

Promising review: "Purchased as a gift but the feedback from the person I purchased this for couldn't be happier! He LOVES it very much and was very well worth every cent! I would recommend anyone looking for a reliable easy to use multiuse trimmer to invest in this and save all that $$$ at the barbershop!" —Kristine

Price: $124.96

15. An LED desk lamp with multiple light settings that, get this, has a wireless charging port at its base! So while your dad is working hard at their WFH setup, they'll be able to charge up all their smart devices. Plus, its neck position is adjustable, so that they can properly illuminate anything they're working on — whether it's their deadline or their latest hobby.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I have been struggling to find a light like this that doesn't have that annoying buzzing, but I finally found it! You get five different lighting modes which are great for me because I have bad migraines and I need a soft light most of the time. You also get a wide range of dimming with easy touch controls. And you can also slide your finger around it to increase the brightness or lower. The charging base works just as expected too, and it's easy to find the charge, not at all finicky. Great bedside light." —IceQx13

Get it from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in seven colors and versions).

16. A two-stage knife sharpener, because did you know that using a blunt knife is one of the main causes of crying while chopping onions? Help your foodie father never shed a cooking-related tear again with the gift of sharp knives. This sharpener has both coarse and fine settings, so it's perfect for everything from small paring knives to professional-grade chef's knives.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I decided to actually come back to this nearly two years later to review it because it kind of got lost to me to review it back then. However, since I've bought it, I've heard my husband talk about it on and off. Just yesterday with my daughter he was going over sharp knife safety, and he just said how much he still absolutely loves it. Of every gift I've ever given him, this is the only thing I've heard still get praise nearly two years later." —Gluten Free Momma

Price: $10.30

17. A silicone facial cleansing brush that is your dad's new go-to for banishing ingrown hairs along their face and neck. Exfoliation is one of the key factors in keeping ingrown hairs at bay, and this brush's soft silicone teeth get that job done while remaining gentle on dad's skin.

amazon.com

Promising review: "This product is an absolute must. I have the mini as well and use both. My skin is super clean…my wife urged me to get them and they are worth it!" —Desmond & Lanora Waldron

Price: $199

18. A breakfast sandwich maker, because giving your dad the ability to save money on buying breakfast sandwiches from the deli every morning is the gift that keeps on giving, all year long.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought this for a White Elephant and it was the first to get snatched up. Really good gift that people probably wouldn't buy themselves but definitely a more novelty item they would use. Who doesn't love a breakfast sandwich? The person who got it as a gift said they make them better than any fast food place, so good money saving option too! Fun to customize for Sunday brunch as well. I'll be buying one for myself too!" —Hypebre

Price: $26.26+ (available in five colors)

19. An in-car dip clip if your dad's favorite post-work pastime is to make a pit stop for some fries and a shake. This dip clip holds all their favorite condiments securely, eliminating all worries of getting ketchup all over the car!

amazon.com

Promising review: "Very useful! I love that the cup is removable so if you have one of those giant Chick-Fil-A ketchup cups, it can sit within the holder without the added cup, but a smaller sauce like from Wendy's can sit inside the additional cup so it won't fall through!" —catherine

Price: $10.90+ for a pack of two (available in four pack sizes and in two colors)

20. And a popcorn seasoning pack so that your snack-obsessed cinephile papa can have something to munch on during their double-feature screening nights. Plus, reviewers have mentioned that they love adding these seasonings to other foods, too, like vegetables and stews, making it a delectable 2-in-1 treat.

amazon.com

This pack includes white gold, ruby red, and tricolor kernels, plus FIVE seasonings, including white cheddar, sweet 'n' salty kettle corn, chili lime, buttery caramel, and sizzling sriracha.

Promising review: "Gifted one to dad for Father's Day he shared with grandma. They finished a bag right away." —Kayzee

Price: $21.95
