From comfy loungewear and golf gear to BBQ ribs and a new support group just for dads, this list is Jamie-tested and husband-approved.

Let’s skip the “World’s Greatest Dad” mugs and get straight to the good stuff. Whether you’re shopping for your partner, your own dad, or helping the kids pick something special, we’ve rounded up gift ideas that are actually useful, a little fun, and totally dad-approved.

Tested by our team, our husbands, and even the little ones—here’s what we’re loving this year.


New Balance Golf Spikes

For the dad who swears his short game is better than it is. These are clean, classic, and thankfully don’t look like they belong on a mini-golf course.



7 Diamonds Rev Hoodie (and Matching Shorts)

Jamie’s husband lives in this set. It’s soft enough to deserve a warning label. Bonus: You can find 7 Diamonds at Nordstrom and boutiques like The Point in Southie and Hanover.



Barstool Sports “Girl Dad” Hat

Subtle, simple, and proudly sentimental. Perfect for the girl dad in your life—without being cringe.



Pappy’s Smokehouse Ribs (Yes, Shipped!)

We had these at a friend’s house and are still dreaming about them. St. Louis-style, fall-off-the-bone, finger-lickin’ amazing. Ship them in and call it dinner.



Cook For Him (It’s Easier Than You Think)

This 30-minute dish from Caro Chambers made us feel like kitchen goddesses. It’s fancy enough for Father’s Day, but simple enough that you won’t burn the butter.



Turtle Box Ranger Speaker

Waterproof. Loud. Golf cart attachable. Great for beach days, BBQs, or eight straight hours of “yard work.”



Little Words Project Bracelet

Something meaningful he’ll actually wear. Personalize it with a special word or phrase—or keep it simple with “Dad.”



MeUndies Membership

Sign him up for a monthly delivery of undies in everything from solid colors to ridiculous patterns. A funny surprise that’s also very functional.



Manscaped Grooming Kit

The best tools for shaving and self-care. Bonus: They’ve already curated a Father’s Day gift guide to make shopping easy.



Bonus: Dad’s Support Group

Starting Monday, June 30 at 7:30 PM, our new virtual support group is for new and seasoned dads who want connection, support, or just a place to ask “Is it just me?” Spoiler: It’s not.
