Gallery: Father's Day Gift Guide: 21 Presents for 21 Types of Dad
WorkCycles0101-WorkCycles-Fr8.jpg
Cyclist Dad: The handsome and indestructible [WorkCycles Fr8](http://www.workcycles.com/home-products/child-transport-bicycles/workcycles-fr8-as-family-bike) is the ultimate urban schlepper. Dad can take the kids to school in the morning, then pick them up from hockey practice at night. On Sunday, he can snap on some bags and hit the grocery store. There are a zillion options, so configure it in whatever way it makes sense. $1,550 and up.
Therm-a-Rest0202-Slacker-Hammock-Warmer.jpg
Camping Dad: No sling-like campground contraption provides as much relaxment as a hammock. Therm-a-rest's [Slacker hammock](http://www.cascadedesigns.com/therm-a-rest/hammocks/slacker-hammocks/slacker-single-hammock/product) has a sweet [warmer accessory](http://www.cascadedesigns.com/therm-a-rest/hammocks/hammock-accessories/slacker-hammock-warmer/product) that will keep dad's tushie toasty well into autumn. $70 for the hammock, $70 for the warmer.
Leather Gloves Online0303-gloves.jpg
Muscle Car Dad: His idea of a perfect weekend? Working on the car, washing the car, waxing the car, then driving the car. Give him a set of finely crafted [Fratelli Orsini leather driving gloves](http://www.leatherglovesonline.com/np/MensGloves-ByStyle-Driving-cd3288-mens-handsewn-leather-driving-gloves.htm#page=details). Be warned: you may have a hard time getting him to take them off for dinner. $120
IMZ Ural0404-motorcycle.jpg
Motorcycle Dad: The only thing cooler than a retro-styled Russian motorcycle is a retro-styled Russian motorcycle with a sidecar. Dad can take a buddy on his next week-long trip if you get him a [Ural Sportsman Camp Wandawega Edition](http://www.imz-ural.com/sportsman-camp.html). This is a serious adventure bike with a four-stroke 750cc engine. And it has vibe for days: the spare wheel atop the sidecar slots inside a nifty luggage rack. $16,000
Audioengine0505-HD6-walnut-grills.jpg
Audiophile Dad: Give dad's Steely Dan albums a sonic supercharge with [Audioengine's HD6 wireless speakers](http://audioengineusa.com/Store/HD6-WAL-Powered-Speakers). Each cabinet houses its own monoblock power amp, a 5.5-inch Kevlar woofer, and a 1-inch silk tweeter. They really shine as wireless Bluetooth speakers, but dad can connect anything via analog or digital inputs. Choose whichever wood finish best matches his beloved Marantz record player. $750
Luma Labs0606-luma-loop.jpg
Shoots Everything Dad: He already carries his camera everywhere, so make it easier on him. The [Loop 3](https://luma-labs.com/products/loop3) is a sling-style camera carrier. A metal loop fastens to the camera's tripod mount, and it just glides along the strap, sliding from the hip to the shooting position. Dad's done with spinning a camera strap awkwardly around his body; get him one of these. $99
Columbia Records0707-bob.jpg
Hipster Boomer Dad: He's got everything he needs, he's an artist, he don't look back. Unless we're talking about Bob, in which case, he can never get enough. This excellent 9-platter [vinyl box set](http://www.amazon.com/Original-Mono-Recordings-Vinyl/dp/B003ZYJS5Q) gathers together the first eight Dylan albums (*Blonde on Blonde*'s a double LP) in the original mono. Each is pressed on 180-gram vinyl, and he gets a nice thick book with killer photos and new liner notes. $171.11
Cuisinart0808-coffee.jpg
Brand New Dad: All of a sudden, he's a dad. And all of a sudden, he's very very tired. At all hours. So very tired. Get him this: a [Cuisinart Single-Serve Brewer](https://www.cuisinart.com/products/coffee_makers/ss-5.html). It works with K-Cups, and yeah, we all know how you feel about K-Cups, but this thing makes it dead-easy for him to brew a hot cup of mood-lifting, eye-opening, good-parenting coffee. And that's all that matters. $100
Williams-Sonoma0909-chef-knife.jpg
Chef Dad: The kitchen is his kingdom, and no doubt he already has several swords at his disposal. But really, a chef can never have too many knives. Global's new [Sai chef's knife](http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/global-sai-chefs-knife/) features the Japanese company's signature ergonomic handle, but with a new thumb rest. The three-layer, hand-hammered blade should stay sharp through months of stews, salsas, and salami platters. $184 for the 10-inch
Tivoli Audio1010-radio.jpg
NPR Dad: Baseball on the radio, Car Talk reruns, and a general proclivity to leave Morning Edition on in every room of the house—all very Dad things to do. The [](https://www.tivoliaudio.com/model-one-bluetooth-am-fm-radio.html”>Tivoli Model One BT</a> is perfect for any 21st century radio lover. It has a huge dial for easy analog tuning, and it also pairs with Bluetooth for listening to podcasts. Best of both worlds. $180</p> )
Coravin1111-coravin.jpg
Wine Dad: If Pops is into sipping fine wine, he probably also tends to take it slow. Hook him up with the [Coravin Model Two Plus](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0160DQHFC/), a device that will let him enjoy his Pinot one glass at a time. The Coravin infuses open bottles with argon gas to protect the fermented fruit juice from oxidation, keeping the wine fresh for months. $350
Breville USA1212-espressol.jpg
Espresso Dad: Does your dad like to make jokes about how big he feels when holding an espresso cup? Then help him out by supplying him with the ideal setup: [The Breville Dual Boiler](“http://www.brevilleusa.com/the-dual-boiler-v2.html”). This espresso maker pulls the perfect shot and has a pressure gauge and shot clock to help him become even more of a coffee snob. $1,300
Miir1313-growler.jpg
Homebrew Dad: Good beer rules. And if your dad or his friends like to brew at home, he’s going to want something nice in which to lug his lager. The [Miir 64-ounce Growler](“http://www.miir.com/hydration/growlers/the-growler”) has double vacuum insulated walls to keep adult beverages from going flat or warm. $55
Taschen1414-surfing.jpg
Surfer Dad: On big days, he's paddling out to join the lineup. On small days, he'll need something to tide him over. *[Surfing: 1778-2015](https://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/photography/all/01132/facts.surfing_17782015.htm)* is a new oversize (HUGE! EPIC!) book from Taschen editor Jim Heimann that traces the long history of wave-riding. It goes deep into the sport's culture, from Pacific Island royalty to suburban California groms. The photos in the book are bananas. $200
Wilson1515-wilson-racket.jpg
Tennis Dad: Wilson's [Pro Staff BLX](http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Staff-BLX-Tennis-Racquet/dp/B006UNYR5A) is an exceedingly light, fast-swinging racquet. It's perfect for players who like to pack crazy spin into each shot. Dad never hesitates to challenge you to a game, and you know you're going to let him win anyway. So why not let him destroy you with this? $200
Vizio1616-viziocast.jpg
Movie Night Dad: Is that the seven-hour cut of *The Godfather* starting up again? Must be Tuesday. If dad loves to host a solid movie night (like, every night), get him one of Vizio's 4K [SmartCast P-Series](http://www.vizio.com/p-series) sets. Each one uses an Android tablet as a remote control, his Netflix picks will look amazing, and it'll be a looong time before he starts bugging you about an upgrade. $2,000 for the 65-incher.
ONA1717-ona-photo-bag.jpg
Birder Dad: He's been prowling his local patch for the tufted titmouse all season. If dad's a birder, the [Camps Bay backpack](https://www.onabags.com/store/backpacks/the-camps-bay.html?color=field-tan) from ONA is perfect for him—tough waxed canvas on the outside, copious padding on the inside to protect zoom lenses, a DLSR, a set of binoculars, whatever his optical implement. Think of all the titmice! $429
Tower Paddleboards1818-sup.jpg
SUP Dad: He loves a lot of things about stand-up paddleboarding. It's mellow, it's easy on the body. Something he doesn't love: hauling that beast of a SUP to and from the shore. Tower's [Adventurer 1 iSUP](http://www.towerpaddleboards.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BD-TWR-ADV-PKG) is an inflatable 9-foot, 10-inch board that dad can roll up into a tidy bundle when his paddle sesh is over. Tower sells the whole package—board, paddle, pump—for $700.
Patagonia1919-waders.jpg
Fishing Dad: Even a single afternoon on the river can erase weeks of office stress. Your fly-fishin' pops will love these durable, comfortable [Patagonia waders](http://www.patagonia.com/us/shop/waders?k=6L). Their wool-lined booties mean he doesn't always have to pack an extra pair of socks, and the waterproof zipper in front is key for releasing all that river beer back into the wild. $599
Z. Vex20pedal-custom.jpg
Guitar Dad: Given the hours he spends strumming his Telecaster as he mentally relives the time his band opened for King Missile at the Empty Bottle, dad will always welcome a new effect on his pedalboard. Get him a one-of-a-kind custom stompbox. Z.Vex is one of the biggest names in guitar pedals, and the company's [custom store](http://www.zvex.com/custom-store/) has dozens of unique and wild designs to choose from. Go for a Fuzz Factory 7 or a Super Seek Wah.
Adidas Golf2121-golf-shoe.jpg
Golf Dad: His golf clubs are sparkling and he's got a sweet custom bag, but his golf shoes are a worn-through mess. Stylish and supportive, these [Adidas Tour360 Boost](http://adidasgolf.com/Tour360-boost-/DW-V4338.html) shoes make the perfect upgrade. The cleats provide excellent grip, and the comfy foam midsole will keep dad swingin' steadily through all 36 holes.

Microsoft Surface PCs Are Getting Big Price Hikes, and the Cheaper Models Are Going Away
The price increases range from $200 to $300, and Microsoft doesn’t sell a sub-$1,000 Surface anymore. The rising cost of consumer tech is a common theme in 2026.
