Father's Day Gifts That Don't Suck: 15 Amazon Finds Dad Will Actually Use

Father's Day is around the corner, and let's be honest: Dad doesn't want another "World's Best Dad" mug. This year, ditch the boring necktie and get him something he'll actually use— or at least brag about to the guys. Whether he's a backyard boss, a golf course legend, or just a guy who loves gadgets and naps, we've got you covered.

If your dad lives for his morning coffee, this is his new obsession. It takes plain cold brew and infuses it with that creamy, frothy nitro finish—like his own personal coffeehouse. Sleek, simple, and way cheaper than daily coffee runs.
