Hot honey for the sweet dad who’s always buzzing around looking for new hot sauces to put on his food.
Amazon
Promising review: “Mike’s Hot Honey may be my favorite new condiment! I love the simplicity of the ingredients, no processed crap here. I’ve been putting this hot honey on my pizza and also on roasted Brussels sprouts! A little drizzle goes a long way so I think it’s a great value for the money. I have a feeling I’ll continue to find more foods to put this honey on. Don’t overthink; just get it – it’s that good.” —Balkanista

A set of landscape knives for the dad who’s a cut above the rest.
Amazon
Promising review: “Not only are these knives beautiful but they’re super sharp as well. For the price I wasn’t expecting too much other than them looking cute in my kitchen.

Usually I don’t care about packaging but the box and the presentation are so nice I couldn’t help but think they would make an excellent gift.” —April Arnold

A Roku Streaming Stick+ so your dad can watch all of his favorite shows. Plus it’s so easy to use, you don’t even have to worry about setting it up for him.
Roku
Not to say that ALL parents need a lot of hand-holding, technology-wise. Just mine.
The Roku lets the user stream television shows and movies from big names like Hulu, HBO Go, Netflix, Sling, and more. Simply plug the stick into the USB port on the television to get started. The plus has an advanced wireless receiver and voice remote. I have a Roku and love it soooo much. Everything is very intuitive and all my favorite streaming services are available.
Get it from Amazon for $59.50 or Walmart for $59 (there’s free pickup at Walmart if you’re cutting it ~really~ close).

A retro portable turnable so your dad can listen to all his old records that have been collecting dust next to his CD collection.
Amazon, amazon.com
It plays two speeds, has an auxiliary input, and can be Bluetooth compatible for an extra fee.
Promising review: “Let me preface this by saying I am in no way a turntable expert or vintage vinyl master. I am simply a girl standing in front of a record player and asking it to not sound horrible and be cute. In that respect, this Crosley is by far and away my favorite bit of furniture. It’s got a very mod vibe without the huge price tag of a for-real vintage player, and I personally think it sounds great; it’s much louder than the portable briefcase Crosley. The legs come off too if you wish to make your hipster friends jealous at a party. There is also an auxiliary cable port if you don’t have your favorite tunes in record format yet. Overall it suits my needs just fine. It fits my mid-century modern decor, and I can hear it in every room in my house.” —Phryne
Get it from Amazon for $169.99+ (available in three colors).

The Very Embarrassing Book of Dad Jokes to arm your dad with even more groan-worthy jokes.
Independent Publishers Group
Reviewers note that some of the jokes lean more British than American in terms of context but it doesn’t take away from the charm.
Promising review: “My brother-in-law and sister are expecting their first child, and as a joke, my brother-in-law said that he wanted a book of dad jokes. When he opened this Christmas day, I thought he would cry. He reads that book like it’s the bible and reads it to my sister’s belly, preparing their daughter for the dad jokes. I would recommend this to any new father, or anyone with a sense of humor in particular.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $13.83.
