We've all been there — it's the week before Father's Day and you're still without a quality gift for the big man. You could get him a gift card, but that feels too impersonal. You could buy him some clothing, but he's pretty pick on that front. Or, you could select something from the Livingetc Father's Day 2024 Gift Guide, carefully and expertly curated by none other than yours truly, Livingetc Style Editor Brigid Kennedy. That last option sounds best to me.
Below, you'll find 18 stylish, practical, and above all, unique Father's Day gift options, all of which have been sourced from the best home decor brands and should arrive before Sunday the 16th (especially if you select a retailer with 2-day shipping, like Amazon or Target). But consider this your push to act now — if you're not adding to cart today, you might run into trouble.
Otherwise, you can rest easy knowing your pops has a new Ooni pizza oven or set of whiskey glasses to look forward to. And don't worry, I'll let you take all the credit.

At this point, I have evangelized this Amazon outdoor cooler table more times than I can count. And while I have yet to try it myself, the reviews and content surrounding the product are so positive I have no qualms recommending it. If your dad loves to host a summer barbeque, or can't wait to kick back with his boys, this side table (the top of which slides open to reveal an insulated center for chilling drinks), this is the gift for him.
Price: $299
Turn your back porch into a pizzeria with an Ooni pizza oven, which creates authentic stone-baked pizza in any outdoor space. The wood/charcoal/or gas-powered oven heats to 950 degrees Fahrenheit in just 15 minutes then cooks pizzas in a fraction of that time. Use it to cook meats and vegetables as well, or pack it up and take it to a friend's house for an al fresco dinner party.

Any music-loving Dad would adore a quality Bluetooth speaker, especially one that's as powerful and portable as the JBL Flip 6. Take it from me, a proud JBL owner — this thing can sing. It's easy to connect to your phone, holds its charge well, and has so far proved quite durable, even as I toss it in and out of boxes and bags for parties and road trips.
Price: $59.95
This one is for the foodies. Snag your pops a Himalayan salt plank for grilling meats and seafood, or suggest he chill it as a salty serving platter for fruit and cheese. If you're worried about germs, don't be — this beautiful brick is antimicrobial and easy to clean, so you can grill. sear, and indulge without fear.
Price: $49
No one likes when their cords are tangled or mismanaged — not even your old man. Help him out with this classic leather charger roll-up from Mark and Graham, onto which you can monogram his initials for an added personalized touch. Just be sure to order by June 11 for Father's Day delivery.

Has your dad always dreamed of watching Wimbledon on the back patio? Consider gifting him this outdoor TV cover, which promises sun and rain protection for screens with a 32-44" diagonal (larger sizes also available). Simply mount the TV using the back of the shell, then snap the front piece in place when you're ready to cover it. This is definitely one of the more expensive options on this list, but it could be a great pick for those of us splitting the cost of our present with our siblings ...
Price: $99.99
You probably don't need me to tell you the Ring Doorbell is one of the best video doorbells on the market, if not the most well-known. There's no way dad wouldn't love the visibility and security a Ring provides, especially if he's into home improvement projects. I've linked the Best Buy website here (it should still ship quickly), but you can also purchase this off Amazon if you'd prefer to use your Prime subscription for 2-day delivery.

Any chance to buy a Nespresso machine at a discount is a chance worth taking, so consider one of these sleek and luxurious machines for your Father's Day present. Even better, Target offers five other colors (all of which are on sale), including gray, yellow, and mint.

For the dads who love design and home aesthetics but also live and breathe football, try NFL 100: A Century of Pro Football. This stylish 288-page coffee table book tells the story of 'America's most popular sport' from its start in Canton, Ohio, to TV screens nationwide. 'I would definitely recommend this book for the football lover in your family', said one reviewer. 'Perfect gift! said another.

Everyone knows Waterford Crystal, but not everyone owns it. So take advantage of a fabulous 30% off markdown to grab your old man a set of whiskey tasting tumblers with sparkling diamond cuts, two luxurious vessels from which to sip and enjoy his favorite beverage. Both are designed with a purposely smaller diameter to 'concentrate the bouquet while letting more aggressive notes dissipate.'

Much like the outdoor cooler table, I've lost track of how many times I've written about this Amazon Adirondack chair. It folds, it extends, and it comes with two cup holders. Outdoor lounging may have met its match (oh, and the reviews are great, too).
Price: $25.90
No one likes a watered down drink. These affordable whiskey chilling stones, available at Amazon, keep you drink cold without ruining the taste. Plus, the round edges won't scratch your glass. Customers gave this particular set 4.9 out of 5 stars for ease to clean, 4.6 out of 5 stars for durability, 4.4 out of 5 stars for giftability, and 4.2 out of 5 stars for value for money.
Price: $199.99
As someone who truly cannot get out of bed in the morning, the Hatch has proven itself a godsend in my morning routine. It wakes me up subtly and slowly, reducing the likelihood I'll smash the snooze button when the alarm goes off in earnest. The sleek design also looks great on a bedside table, and you can customize the look and feel of your specific alarm using the accompanying app.
Price: $45.99

Give dad the gift of fire with a portable fire pit like this one from Amazon, which boasts a folding design that's easy to assemble and transport for family dinners, camping, and more. It even comes with a spark screen to protect from stray sparks and ash. Reviews are strong; 4.5/5 stars.
Price: $249
Meet the Bartesian Cocktail Machine, known online as the 'cocktail Keurig.' As its moniker suggests, this handy gadget combines a pre-mixed flavor capsule with one of the two spirits stashed in the reservoirs on the sides for a bar-quality cocktail in seconds. Ideal for aspiring bartenders everywhere.
Price: $119.95
Have you tried cooking with a dull knife? It's torture, not to mention unsafe. Save pops the trouble with a new 15-piece knife set from Cuisinart, a legacy brand you can count on. This specific buy includes an acacia wood block for storage as well as a set of kitchen shears.
Price: $49.99

Every bookworm needs a place to display his literary accomplishments, and it just so happens that this geometric bookcase does so in a particularly chic manner. Stash this in the living room, bedroom, or corner office for a bit of vertical storage combined with classic interior design. Wayfair ships quickly too, so you should get this before Father's Day with no problem.
Price: $69.95
And last but certainly not least — if Dad can stand to wait just a few extra days, I think he would love this monogrammed steak brand from Williams Sonoma. It won't arrive in time for Father's Day, but it looks to be worth the trouble, especially if your dad is a carnivore like mine. He'll never eat an un-personalized steak again.
