50 Best Holiday Gifts for Dads Who Want Nothing

Ooni Karu 16  reigns supreme among the best pizza ovens because it can burn wood, charcoal, or gas; cooks evenly; and gets blazing hot in no time. If Dad likes to have regular pizza notes or lives for summer cookouts in the backyard, this is one of the best Father's Day gifts to invest in. The glass door keeps wind and cold air from sucking the heat out of the front of the oven, resulting in more even cooking. Flames are also directed over the pizza, which mitigates torched crusts while perfectly smoldering cheese and toppings into gooey perfection.

Braun Series 7 7071cc Flex Electric Razor for Men is among the best electric razors you can buy. It features a flexible rotating head that’s designed to adapt to different lengths of facial hair, including up to three days of growth. An all-in-one charging and cleaning dock is included for easy maintenance. There’s also a handy travel case. As far as good Dad gifts go, this is a classic.

While Adidas made Adidas TOUR360 '24 Boost Men's Golf Shoe with tournaments in mind, it's a workhorse for amateur golfers, too. The upper is made of waterproof performance leather with 360Wrap technology to lock down his foot during rounds of golf, providing plenty of stability for 18 rounds. Underfoot is a TPU outsole with seven spikes for grip and leverage. Reviewers rave about the shoe's comfort right out of the box; there's no need to break in the shoes, they're stiff in all the right places, and the construction mitigates hot spots during play. This is one of the best gifts for Dad who wants nothing but to improve his golf game.

Mastering whetstone knife sharpeners takes time and finesse, and going to a pro for maintenance is costly if Dad has a large collection of chefs knives and Japanese knives. Tumbler Diamond Rolling Knife Sharpener did the unimaginable: made sharpening knives at home foolproof. The patent-pending design comprises a magnetic holder that secures your knife in place at either 15 or 20 degrees and a two-sided sharpening disc that rolls back and forth to sharpen the edge of any specialty knife (with the exception of serrated bread knives). The diamond sharpening disc is made of literal diamond abrasives with a grit size of D35 (strong enough to sharpen extremely hard Damascus steel), while the helix honing side's swirled stainless steel eliminates the burr from the knife's edge, as well as any lingering diamond particles. I've restored my workhorse knives back to their former glory and can attest this is among the best gifts for Dad who wants nothing but has a penchant for cooking, hunting, and/or fishing. 

Dad claims he wants nothing, but read between the lines: Everyone wants a timeless gift they can enjoy year-round. Timberland's Field Boot strikes all the right marks. It's crafted from the brand's signature leather, which adheres to responsible manufacturing practices via the Leather Working Group. Under the hood, so to speak, is a comfort system adopted from Timberland PRO, the brand's line of footwear designed for the rigors of construction, warehousing, and healthcare. Shock-absorbing tech reduces fatigue for greater energy return with each step. Better yet, the boots are fully waterproof, thanks to an ingenious membrane derived partly from recycled plastic, and come in five colorways, like Black Full-Grain and Beige Nubuck (shown here).

If your dad came of age in an era when men carried attache cases to work, but he now works in the era of gray hoodies, Zoom calls, and backpacks in the office, he's probably confused about what carry-all to bring. Filson Rugged Twill Original Briefcase perfectly splits the difference between a casual messenger bag and a classic briefcase. It can be carried in one hand or over the shoulder, and there are two internal dividers to stash a laptop, notebook, and essentials. Plus, the 46-inch shoulder strap makes it a great option for travel. It's among our favorite gifts for Dad who wants nothing because he doesn't know he needs it.
