While you may have idea of what to get Mom this year, finding something special for Dad may prove to be more challenging.
The truth is, dads can be notoriously difficult to shop for, and it might not be their fault either. Aside from their personal preferences, dads are generally better “givers than takers,” as pointed out by Kit Yarrow in Psychology Today. And while that is very sweet and modest, it makes gift giving a serious gamble. Not to mention, the potential for unboxing a gift that will never get used.
But, that doesn’t have to be the case. If you’re hoping to impress Dad with a thoughtful gift this year, check out some of the most top-rated gifts to surprise your pop this holiday season.
1. Putt-A-Bout Grassroots Par Three Putting Green, $32.99 (Orig. $49.99)
If your dad likes playing golf, then this large putting green can help keep his swing in check even when he’s off the course. Designed to mimic the “look and feel” and speed of a real green, the Putt-A-Bout putting green comes with two built-in sand traps and three practice cup cutouts.
2. Legiral Massage Gun, $129.99 (Orig. $199.99)
Although a bit pricey, the Legiral Massage Gun is one of the most highly-rated back massagers floating around on Amazon. Similar to the Theragun devices (albeit slightly cheaper), this deep tissue massage gun can help relieve muscle soreness, tightness and stiff backs. It also comes with 20-speed settings and six replacement heads to better target each muscle.
3. New Balance 608v5, $69.99
What’s screams dad more than a New Balance sneaker? And if there’s one style to gift Dad this year, let it be the 608v5 sneakers. With over 900 reviews, these fan-favorite shoes have unique “ABZORB cushioning” for better foot support and shock absorption.

5. Lintelek Fitness Tracker With Heart Rate Monitor, $26.98 (Orig. $35.99)

Available in an array of colors, this No. 1 Amazon best seller allows you to track your sleep, heart rate, physical activity and phone notifications.
6. Men’s Armour Fleece Pants, $55
