Imagine the look on their face when they see you got them something they’ll *actually* use.

I've spent the last three years as a Shopping Writer at BuzzFeed covering a wide range of topics, including but not limited to must-have Amazon products, personal care, home and organization, and more.

There's something special about practical gifts that they'll use over and over again instead of becoming yet another thing that takes up space. Whether you're shopping for a dad who's a self-proclaimed tech nerd, one who is obsessed with cooking, or one who wants nothing more than to kick back and relax, I've got you. If you're in the unique position of trying to find gifts for people who don't want anything, not to worry — you're bound to stumble across something useful that they'll appreciate.

Believe it or not, this alarm clock isn't just for looks. It's super sleek, but this device is for analog-loving dads who are trying to become less reliant on their phones. It'll wake them up with the most pleasant-sounding mechanical chime (seriously, go listen to it) that starts out soft and gradually gets louder. That's much better than the earth-shattering sound of an iPhone alarm, if you ask me! Oh, and it even has a discreet digital display for easy alarm setting!

All they have to do is plug it into the wall with the USB-C cable. It also has a 16-hour backup battery. 

Nanu is a design-focused small business based in San Francisco, founded by partners Hanna and Drew. Drawing on their backgrounds in engineering and design, they handcraft thoughtful, tactile tools — like the Arc Alarm Clock — to help people build more mindful routines and foster a healthier relationship with time.

Promising review: "I love my Arc clock so much. It’s easy to set, easy to turn off when the alarm goes off, and beautiful to look at. It is solid and substantial. The chime is perfect. For years, I had used an Alexa as my alarm, and I was always afraid the Wi-Fi would go out; also, I had to talk to it to set the alarm. All stressful and distracting. Now I just set my Arc, charge my phone across the room, and sleep! I also love how dark it is and how you can check the alarm without seeing the hands if you don’t want to (I don’t like to see the time if I wake up at night). This clock is literally perfect. Thank you for making it!!" —Marilyn P.

Shipping info: Standard shipping typically arrives in 5–8 business days. Expedited shipping available at checkout. See full shipping info here.

Cleaning their clubs is about to get a lot easier. This nifty brush has a built-in squeeze bottle to help keep some of their most prized possessions shiny and clean — just how they like 'em. It also comes with a nylon brush that can be used to clean their golf clubs, balls, and even their shoes!

Promising review: "I’ve been using these for years now. The brushes are nice and stiff and are good for about a year (I play three to four rounds per week). The price point is always affordable, and there’s no better cleaner on the planet. I just laugh when I see other versions in the golf shops." —Neal Mobley

If they'd love nothing more than to become their own version of Salt Bae, these glass spice containers will do the trick! The jars have airtight lids and built-in retractable spoons so they can add some much-needed flavor to any meal. It even comes with a little tray for the jars to sit on, how clever is that! Bonus points for the wide-mouth design, which makes 'em easy to clean.

Promising review: "I love these. I use one for collagen powder, which sticks to your fingers when picking the scoop out of the bag. These are perfect so that nothing ever touches your hands. I like that the spoon height is adjustable based on how much is left in the container as well. Loving them!" —Lauren Aguiar

Let's be honest, this is way better than a boring red toolbox that's bulky and *extremely* heavy to carry around. They'll have four large compartments to store all their tools.

Promising review: "This was purchased as a gift for my wife. We've been using it regularly for about a month now and really enjoy it. It fits two large bath sheets. I look forward to also using it for bathrobes and throw blankets this winter. It makes any bathroom feel more luxurious. I also love the scented disc that goes in the lid. The aromatherapy makes it feel that much more spa-like." —Ryan Harris

It comes with several attachments, including a comb with 20(!) adjustable length settings, and even a handy travel case.

Promising review: "I bought this for my husband, and he has mentioned it to several of his guy friends! That’s how much he likes it! It’s awesome that you can replace the blades when they get dull. I’m curious to see how it holds up over time, but it’s also really slim, which is great for traveling!" —Pine

This is a gift they'll use all the time!

The kit includes beard oil, beard balm, a boar bristle brush, a wood comb, stainless steel scissors, and a storage bag.

Promising review: "I gave this kit to my husband as a gift. It is absolutely fabulous! The beard balm and oil are wonderful for keeping the beard soft and fragrance-free. The comb, brush, and scissors are of excellent quality. The whole kit is a bargain for the price!" —Lisa A.

Promising review: "I'm not one to write reviews; however, this small cooler/lunch box deserves one; it is totally worth paying the extra money. I filled it up with sushi rolls for a concert and it stayed very cold for over 10 hours. The cold packs I placed inside were still frozen after all that time! It is also roomy, a nice soft material and very stylish, and the shoulder strap option makes it more functional. I love it!" —Leticia Hampton

They might be in charge of breaking down boxes in the house, but do they actually enjoy the task? If not, they need this electric cardboard cutter ASAP! It has an ergonomic handle and a hidden blade design to keep them safe and minimize the chances of accidental cuts. The high-torque motor allows for smooth, precise cutting and it comes with dual rechargeable batteries.

Promising review: "Great box cutter. Safe, with very little chance of cutting yourself by accident. Feels good as it easily cuts through any cardboard box. Sam’s Club ships with giant boxes [and] I like using the BoxBlayde on them because it’s much easier than using a utility knife. Also, my utility knife blades will fit in my BoxBlayde. You can tell when you put this in your hand that it’s well-built and not cheap. This is a high-quality box cutter. If you have a lot of boxes to break down, this is going to help you get it done faster." —Amazon Customer

Whether they've just recently entered the world of sourdough or they've been trying to nail their technique since 2020, this kit will help them become a baking pro in no time. It comes with everything they need to whip up fresh loaves of deliciousness that will look like they came from the local bakery everyone loves.

The kit includes a proofing basket and liner, a scoring knife, bench scrapers, a dough whisk, and a cleaning brush.

Promising reviews: "I was beginning my sourdough journey and purchased this set based on reviews and how complete it was. This set is amazing! The quality and functionality are incredible. The liner is of high quality and fits the banneton perfectly, even after washing. The banneton’s quality is like no other. There are no splinters. The lane is perfect for the 7-minute score without burning my hand. And the scraper gets the job done: between flipping the dough, cutting it into smaller pieces, and scraping dry dough from the counter. Very well-made products. If you are in doubt about which set to get to start your journey, this is it." —Bianca

"Been using it for almost a year, and everything still looks and works like it did the day I got it. These are quality tools and work perfectly at mixing, shaping the dough, and getting it unstuck from the counter. Would buy again, but I doubt I’ll need to!" —Tori

Get it from Amazon for $19.96+ (available in various styles).

When they wanna keep the backyard party going after the sun sets, these magnetic lights will be a hit.

It comes with the six AAA batteries needed to power the lights!

Promising review: "Absolutely LOVE this product. I purchased them as a gift for my brother when we were all using cell phones, so we could see the grill one night. They are sturdy, provide sufficient lighting, and are high-temperature resistant. Be careful: when they are on the grill, they can get hot on the outside, so take them off with some protection (gloves, towel, etc.). I loved them so much I ended up purchasing a pair for my grill as well." —MVega

Promising review: "This has got to be one of my favorite purchases of the entire year. It's absolutely perfect in every single way. Perfect size, perfect cook every single time, perfect little skully face. Incredibly simple to use and clean. I can't rave about this thing enough. Absolutely fantastic!" —Kelsi E McCoy

Trying to juggle several charging cords and blocks is *not* the vibe anymore. Dad will appreciate having a 3-in-1 solution that charges essentials simultaneously. It also just looks super cool, TBH. This wireless charger is super lightweight, making it perfect for travel if they wanna cut down on how many cords and chargers they have to lug around with them.

Giving them the gift of hotel-quality comfort will *probably* make you their favorite (if you're not already). These ultra-soft pillows will feel like their head is floating on a pair of fluffy clouds when they go to sleep each night. They're breathable, easy to fluff and shape, and they're machine washable!

Promising reviews: "I bought these as a Christmas gift for a friend who needed new pillows. They liked them so much, they asked where I got them, as they wanted more to gift to a friend of theirs. My friend is very pleased with them and recommends them." —Teresa

"I’ve had these amazing pillows for 6+ months now, and they are still just as plump and amazing as the day I received them. I’ve spent $50+ on pillows for them to lose shape and support within months, so the fact that these are still so plump and supportive is amazing to me. I am both a side, back, and stomach sleeper, and I can sleep comfortably in all positions with these pillows! A MUST-HAVE!" —Jennifer Cook

If you know a dad who is basically a certified wine connoisseur, they're gonna love this gift. After all, their Pinot Grigio should always be precisely chilled without resorting to ice cubes that'll just water their beverage down — the worst. They can easily store this nifty gadget in the freezer and take it out when it's time for an evening ~wine~ down sesh.

VoChill is an Austin, Texas-based small business started by a husband and wife after not being able to fully enjoy white wine because it warmed up too much in the heat. 

Former BuzzFeed Editor Abby Kass LOVES this glass chiller: "I wanted a nice glass of white wine because it paired nicely with my dinner, but realized I didn't have any chilled. Luckily, I remembered that I had put the VoChill in the freezer, so I was able to grab it, attach it to the base, and set my glass of wine in it. It chilled it and kept it cold the whole time I was drinking it. It was so nice. Plus, it was super easy to grab my wineglass when I wanted a drink, and I never felt like the glass would tip or wobble in the "cradle" because there's actually a bit of rubber in it that helps keep glasses of all sizes in place. I was seriously surprised how cold it kept my drink to the last drop. If you like a nice cold glass of white wine (or even a chilled red), I highly suggest keeping this in your freezer because you never really know when you're going to need it."

Get it from Amazon (available in three colors, as a pack of two, and in a stemmed style) or VoChill for $44.95+ (available in seven colors, as a pack of two, and in a stemmed style).

Promising review: "I had neck and shoulder pain for about a month, that’s why I bought this, and after using this massager just 4–5 times, my pain went away!! I was afraid it would be painful, as I can be sensitive when getting a massage, but it was not at all painful. The cord is nice and long, you can put it on your neck, back, feet, everywhere! And it feels so good. If I get a kink in my neck or my feet hurt, I take this out! Best purchase ever!" —Sarah E.

My wife and I like spending time together, but doing our own thing. She likes to watch TV/movies, and I like playing my game. This fits perfectly on my couch and is so comfortable. Perfect size. I have my portable monitor sitting on it while it is connected to my PS5, and she is able to use the big TV.

Promising review: "Absolutely love them! The sound quality is absolutely amazing! I use them every day to practice bass. I love that as soon as you put them on, hit the power button, they quickly drown out all other background noise in the room. It allows me to lock in during my online classes. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make background noise sound like quiet whispers. It allows you to lock in and clearly hear what you TRULY WANT TO HEAR!" –B4ss Boss

Get them from Amazon or Bose for $449 (available in five colors).

Trust me when I say, this is a gift they'll never leave home without after they experience its magnificence firsthand.

It also functions as a magnet and can be clipped onto their hat brim when completing tasks in dark areas.

Check out a TikTok of the multi-flashlight in action. 

Promising review: "This tiny, affordable flashlight is the most versatile light I've ever seen. It's small enough to disappear in a pocket.

Use it as a travel light, swivel the clip for attaching to a shirt pocket or the brim of a cap, use the color wheel secretion to perfectly light your face during video calls, use the red and amber safety flasher mode while riding rental bikes or scooters, or place the magnetic base on the hood of your car for hands-free light for auto work." —Chris M.

Their grilling game is about to receive a major glow-up. This pre-seasoned carbon steel griddle can be placed on top of their grill OR on gas, electric, and induction stovetops. Talk about versatility! It's expertly designed with sloped sides to prevent those unfortunate grease spills. Don't be surprised when you receive *many* invitations for future grill nights.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga says, "My family has this Made In Carbon Steel Griddle, and it has been a significant game changer for our weekly dinners. We cook at home about five days a week, but that definitely doesn't mean I don't *wish* I could have Shake Shack once a week (it was my only pregnancy craving to date). My husband is the Head Chef in our kitchen and was itching to try his hand at making similar burgers at home. The first time he made them on this griddle, he probably ruined all other burgers for us forever — they were SO good and tasted identical to one you'd get at your favorite burger joint. We got the optional press with our griddle, and I highly recommend it (it made a huge difference when flattening the patties). He also used it directly on the grill for Mother's Day to whip up a Greek-inspired shrimp that was truly delectable. I can't wait to try making fancy grilled cheese and potatoes with it!"

Shipping info: Standard shipping typically arrives in 3–7 business days. Expedited shipping available at checkout. See full shipping info here.

Get it from Made In for $149.99+ (originally $179; available with or without the press and press lid).

Promising review: "I couldn’t be happier with this! The flame effect is incredibly realistic and creates such a calming, cozy vibe — it honestly looks like a mini fireplace. It instantly transforms any room into a relaxing space, especially in the evenings. The mist output is perfect — strong enough to humidify the air but gentle enough not to make everything around it damp. I’ve noticed a big difference in how refreshed the air feels, especially during dry months. It’s also super quiet, so it’s ideal for bedtime or meditation. I love adding a few drops of essential oil — the scent fills the room beautifully without being overpowering. Plus, the sleek design fits right in with my decor." —Doc

Promising review: "My husband has nonstop raved about the areopress since receiving it. A couple of days later, he requested a second one for work. We definitely will be recommending it to anyone. He says it is the best coffee he’s had at home and that letting it sit longer/ pushing the coffee slower makes it even better." —Celeste S.

If they spend a *lot* of time outdoors, they could probably use an extra layer of sun protection. This hat had a broad brim (3.25 inches, to be exact) that will help protect their face and neck from the sun. It's lightweight but durable with an adjustable sizing toggle to help them get the perfect fit. There's also a detachable chin strap to keep it secure when it's windy. The breathable UPF 50+ fabric will keep them protected without weighing them down — shout-out to the moisture-wicking sweatband for those extra hot days.

Promising review: "I am a golfer and, obviously, need extended sun protection throughout the round. I have a problem with hats that are too constricting and give me a headache. I also have a problem with hats that have too wide a brim, blocking my view, or that can blow off in high winds. This hat is perfect! It has a wide enough brim for protection and a comfortable cinch to keep it in place in windy conditions. It's perfect." —Anne B.

For a top-notch listening experience, get them this waterproof solar speaker. It's not a one-trick pony by any means — this thing emits a soft ambient light after dark and can last up to 10 hours of playtime on a single charge. They'll get an additional five hours when it's charged in the sun! Oh, and did I mention it has a built-in bottle opener so they can crack a cold one with ease? Now that's impressive.

The block party vibes will be impeccable with this set of Bluetooth speakers blasting the tunes. Now they'll be able to ~turn up the volume~ on their outdoor gatherings while adding some lighting to the mix. The Bluetooth distance between phone and speaker is up to 33 feet, while the dual pairing distance between the two speakers is up to 66 feet! The handles at the top make them easy to hang, but they can also just set them on the ground or a table.

Promising review: "The surround sound that we get at night while sitting around the fire pit is wonderful! We invested in shepherd's hooks so that we can relocate wherever we want! Nice." —Denise Peoples

Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate having a proper way to store their equipment. If their rods are all over the place, this organizer will bring some pure genius to their life. It attaches right to the back of the garage door and can hold up to six rods, so they'll stay organized *and* save room for other stuff.

Promising review: "These racks are AWESOME! I heard about them from an article in our local newspaper. So glad we purchased them. They are really neat riding up and down with the garage door. Keeps the rods and reels safe and most certainly out of the way! We like them so much we're going to purchase a couple more!" —Doolen102

What better way to reflect on what they've just read than a dedicated reading journal? It has space for 52 in-depth book reviews where they can give each title a rating and note their favorite quotes. It also offers various challenges and lists for Books I’ve Read, Finished, Favorites, Did Not Finish, Lent, Borrowed, and more!

Kunitsa Co. is a small business that specializes in planners and journals. 

Promising review: "I have been looking for a good reading journal for quite some time. This one is perfect for me, it has pages to track your reading goal and TBR list. It also has pages to track the books you’ve read and DNFed. But what I really like is the two-page book review pages that make up most of the journal. There are some prompts to help you review the book, and then a full page to take notes. I have been so tired of trying to read a sequel and not remembering the first book! Now I can take some notes and just review them before I start the second book in a series." —Julia A.

Get it from Amazon for $22.95+ (available in six colors/designs).

When they've got an impressive record collection, but their organization system is not so impressive, this will help! It'll look nice on display and their favorite albums will always be just within reach. I bet they won't mind receiving endless compliments on their incredible music taste, either.

 Promising review: "This really is a great product. It’s reasonably priced, well-built, and thoughtfully packaged. I think it looks great with basically any decor. It works perfectly to easily store and display a few records for easy access. Simple design, great form, and function. Highly recommended." —lawn_wrangler

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in five styles).

Some gifts are designed to save them a whooole lotta time and effort, which they'll be forever thankful for. Most importantly, their meat will be perfectly shredded in a matter of minutes. When they're done, it'll look like an Edward Scissorhands masterpiece that's ready to be devoured!

Bear Paw Products is a US-based small business established in 1993 that specializes in grilling tools and accessories. 

Promising review: "If you make any meals where you need pulled pork or beef, then these are for you. I was amazed at the ease of use and how much time I saved (a LOT!!) vs. using a pair of forks. Highly recommend!!!" —David Kennedy

Even their most tedious tasks will be more enjoyable with a writing utensil like this in their arsenal! It's equipped with a stainless steel, extra-fine nib for a seamless writing experience. Plus, it has a swanky design that'll make them feel suuuper fancy whenever they use it!

This pen does *not* come with ink, but it does include a converter to fill it with bottled ink, as well as a storage case. Ink cartridges are sold separately. 

Promising review: "I LOVE this pen. I’m a professional writer — I spent 22 years as a business journalist, am a published author, and now work as a columnist and editorial director for a financial publisher. I say all that not to boast, but to underscore why I love pens so much. I collect them. And I really enjoy trying out new types and new brands. I’m 'old school,' in that I still take notes by hand. And I have to admit that I 'doodle' as I’m taking notes during meetings. (I’ve seen studies that say doodling actually boosts your information-retention rate.) So I sample LOTS of pens. And I can say with sincerity that this fountain pen is a great value for the money. It’s heavy (which I like). With the cap on the top, it’s long — which I also like. And it’s such a smooth writer — as good as or better than some really expensive fountain pens that I have. Add in the very affordable price, and this pen checks all the boxes in terms of what I look for." —The Famed Tollgate Terror

Would they love to save big on TP *and* have a squeaky-clean tush at all times? Say no more. This Classic 3.0 attachment lets them enjoy the luxe experience of a bidet at home! The self-cleaning nozzle rinses before each use and automatically retracts when turned off. 

Reviewers love how easy it is to install (in less than 10 minutes, btw!) and use. It offers a universal fit that works for most toilets with adjustable seat fasteners. Some new features from the previous model include water pressure control and a precision nozzle adjuster. Yeah, they're gonna love this gift!

Promising review: "Excellent, life-changing wash. These Tushy bidets are amazingly simple devices that make daily life so much easier and cleaner. The water gets right to the point and does the unpleasant task quickly and efficiently, so you and your roll of toilet paper don't have to. I tell all my pooping friends about the Tushy bidet and am winning converts who are soon flush with money because they're saving so much toilet paper. Everyone should have one, no ifs, ands, or butts." —Peter D.

If they refuse to settle for anything less than perfectly cooked meat, this thermometer is something they'll use time and time again. It has Bluetooth capabilities and a smartphone app that'll let them know when their meat is cooked to their preferred temperature without having to check it manually many times. This is much better than relying on guesswork! All the guests are gonna be asking Dad where this gift came from.

Promising review: "Works very well for our competition BBQ brisket. I use it all the time on our steaks, pork butts and brisket. The temperature has always been on point. The app makes it super easy to use. Worth the money!" —John McDowell

Dads who are notorious for misplacing things will benefit from this multitalented gift. It's an ultra-thin MagSafe wallet for the back of their phone. Now they can ditch their actual wallet when they only need their license and a credit card. It also serves as a phone stand and a comfy grip when they hold it for long periods. The real standout feature is the Find My support, which allows them to quickly track their phone when they lose it for the millionth time. Yep, there it is — in between the couch cushions again.

Promising review: "It’s thin, it holds my bank card (the only one I need to carry) and, of course, acts as a stand. What more could you ask for? Oh yes, it’s traceable, which is super helpful for those times when I can’t remember where I put it. Basically, this is the best MagSafe wallet I have bought, and I’ve bought a few!" —David Richardson

If they wanna turn practically any device in their home into a smart one, this gadget will make them feel like a kid in a candy store. After setting it up, they can use Alexa, Google, or an app on their phone to control said device. Reviewers appreciate that you don't have to "smart enable" other parts of your home to use it. In a world full of smart devices, it's nice to have the *option* to turn an ordinary one into a smart one.

Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in white or black and in bundle packs). 

This will help keep their beverage at their preferred temp for as long as they want! Instead of rushing back and forth to the microwave for a reheat, they can use this, which can be controlled right from the smartphone app! There are even presets for certain types of drinks. Fancy-shmancy gift idea? Yes. Worth it? Definitely. 

Promising review: "Best thing since sliced bread! I hate it when my coffee gets cold. I was originally looking for one of those warming coasters, but then I saw the Ember mugs...there was no turning back. I can take my coffee with me into my boss's office, and it still stays hot?? Yes, please. I used that app and have adjusted my temp down to 127 degrees. It stays at that temperature the entire time. I’ve not had an issue with battery life either; it doesn’t take me more than an hour to polish off a cup of coffee. I HIGHLY recommend." —Debbie
