27 Last-Minute Father's Day Gifts — All Under $40

Even amid uncertain times, as we all navigate the new normal that is COVID-19 pandemic, we can still celebrate those dearest to us — yes, we're talking about our dear ole dads — even if we some of us won't be able to see them in person.

This Father's Day will certainly go down as one we'll never forget; for many, it will be our first Father's Day in the middle of the pandemic. But despite these trying times, we can still find something special for Dad online and send it his way.

If you're unable to see your Pops in person, for whatever reason, perhaps he can open his gift while on a Father's Zoom celebration? Either way, he'll certainly appreciate the thoughtfulness amid a Father's Day unlike any other.

1. Snack Board

What Dad doesn't love snacks?! This snack board features a platform for placing food, as well as a bamboo wood cover for cutting cheese, veggies, and other snacks.

(Bamboozle, $20)

2. Face + Beard Oil

For the bearded dad, this face and bear oil will nourish & hydrate skin, tame unruly facial hair, and smooth and condition hair.

(Leaf People, $32)

3. Beard Butter

Transform Dad's beard from good to great with this beard balm: its fresh, crisp sophistication will make him feel like he (and his whiskers) are ready to take on the world.

4. Peanut Butter Whiskey

On one side, you have good ol’ whiskey. On the other, peanut butter: a rich, smooth, and irresistible spread that’s as dependable as they come for all of Dad's late night cravings. Little did we know, these two blend together quite phenomenally.

(Drizly, $29.99)

5. Lotion

Like socks, lotion is never a bad gift. Everyone can always use more lotion. And this classic cherry scent is one of our all-time faves.

A gift for the dad in your life that they'll appreciate more than ever this year — given how often we're all staying home and cooking! Freshly is a weekly subscription service delivering fresh, chef-cooked meals that can be heated and served in 3 minutes. Unlike meal kits, all Dad needsis a microwave, fork, and plate (optional!) to get a satisfying lunch or dinner on the table. Think “nutritionist meets personal chef” vs. frozen/TV dinner when it comes to quality and flavor.

(Freshly, prices vary)

8. Sour Cider

For the cider-loving dad, this sour ale combines Yerba Mate, dandelion, and passionfruit cider. Yerba Mate is an ancient herbal tea traditionally consumed with friends — its natural caffeine content helps focus the mind and keep the conversation flowing!

9. Whole Bean Coffee

This coffee is grown by ADIESTO, which is an organization made up of family-owned farms, which provide organic certification to their producers and is committed to reducing the environmental impact of coffee farming. Give the gift of caffeine AND contribute $ to a good cause: win/win.
