Last Minute Father’s Day Gift Ideas for Every Type of Dad
by Elaine Citro Home

Father’s Day is just around the corner, but don’t worry—there’s still time to grab something thoughtful and fun for that special dad in your life! Whether he’s a foodie, outdoorsy type, sports enthusiast, or just a great guy who deserves to be celebrated (because, hello, dads do a lot!), I’ve rounded up some amazing last-minute gift ideas you can still get in plenty of time.

🎁 For the Foodie Dad - (shop my round-up)

Skip the necktie and give him something he’ll actually drool over—literally.

Artisan Charcuterie Boards (shop boards here) – I recently surprised Mike with one from Boarderie for his 21st Father’s Day, and it was a total hit! Gorgeous presentation, gourmet meats and cheeses, and ships overnight. Perfect for poolside or porch snacking.
BBQ Tool Set (shop here) – For the dad who treats grilling like an art form. Bonus points if you clean the grill for him first (trust me, he’ll notice!).

🏕️ For the Outdoorsy Dad - (shop my round-up)

Let him lean into his adventure-loving side.

Portable Fire Pit (shop fire pit here) – Great for camping trips, beach nights, or even just s’mores in the backyard.
Multi-Tool Survival Set (shop set here) – Because even if he’s just setting up a tent in the backyard, he’ll want to feel like Bear Grylls.

🏈 For the Sporty Dad - (shop my round-up)

Whether he’s cheering from the couch or still lacing up his sneakers:

Personalized Team Gear – A custom cap or jersey from his favorite team is always a win.
Golf Essentials Kit (shop kit here) – Tees, balls, glove, and maybe a new polo. Because he definitely won’t buy it for himself.

😎 For the All-Around Fun Dad - (shop my round-up)

For the guy who’s always up for a laugh, a snack, or a spontaneous adventure:

Snackle Box (shop box here) – A tackle box filled with his favorite snacks, candies, and a boozy beverage or two. Watch my IG Reel with this idea HERE!
Backyard Games Set (shop games here) – Think cornhole, spikeball, or even an oversized Connect Four.

✔️ Elaine’s Quick Tip:

Use retailers that offer fast shipping (Amazon Prime, Walmart+, and Boarderie’s overnight delivery are lifesavers!) or choose in-store pickup to grab your gift in time.

However you celebrate, the best gift is making Dad feel seen, loved, and appreciated. Whether it’s poolside with a board full of snacks, a backyard BBQ, or just some quiet time with his favorite people—you’ve got this.

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads out there!
