10 Father's Day Gift Ideas Because He Always Says He Doesn't Need Anything

Let's be real: Dad are notoriously hard to shop for. They say they don't need anything, but then they "borrow" your power bank, ask for a little bit of your moisturizer, and wear their trusty sneakers from the 2010s despite already having noticeable wear and tear. This Father's Day, skip the last-minute gifts and get him something he'll actually love—and use. After all, this is the man who patiently taught you how to drive (bless him), buys your favorite snacks "just because," and still insists on giving you a ride to places whenever he's free.

If your dad has been hinting that his usual fragrance isn't hitting anymore, it's time to gift him an upgrade. The Tom Ford Oud Wood EDP is rich, woody, and spicy with notes of oud, sandalwood, Sichuan pepper, and vanilla. A couple of well-placed spritzes and he'll instantly be the most put-together man in any room he enters—no wonder it's a cult-fave!

If your dad's luggage has seen better days, then it's time for an upgrade. The Medium Check-In Luggage from BASH's Gateway collection is sleek, stylish, and compact enough for quick weekend getaways with your mom or business trips. It's also durable enough to withstand those damned NAIA baggage carousels.

You can never go wrong with a classic timepiece, TBH. This stainless steel watch from Seiko is equal parts classic and modern, with just the right amount of shine. It's the kind of watch that works for every occasion, from Monday meetings at the office to the usual Sunday brunch with the fam after attending mass.

He's everyone's go-to in every crisis, but when it comes to charging his phone, it's a different story. No need for him to "borrow" your power bank every time you go out—it's time to gift him his own. The Anko MagGo Power Bank is compact, wireless, and designed to stick to his MagSafe phone case. (P.S. It's also our winner of the 2025 Cosmo Lifestyle Awards for wireless power bank! *wink*)

Sleek, comfortable to wear, and with powerful noise-cancellation and crystal clear sound, these Sony wireless headphones are just one of those things you know your dad would never buy for himself, but he'll appreciate them just the same. Whether he's listening to a podcast while working out, jamming to his favorite '80s rock playlist, or just tuning out for a while, he'll be able to use this daily. Talk about ROI.

Time to replace your dad's old laptop bag (that he substitutes for an actual work tote) and get him this one from Straightforward. Clean, understated, yet still polished-looking, the L'exécutif is made with vegan leather and is roomy enough to hold his laptop, files, and tech gear. 

Your dad will never admit it to you, but he's secretly trying out your moisturizer every time he's in the bathroom, LOL. This cult-favorite face cream from Kiehl's is lightweight, hydrating AF, and low-maintenance—he and his skin will thank you.
