1. A minimalist Timex watch Dad can wear to every cookout, meeting, or wedding — because if anyone could trademark being on time and stylish, it's them.
Walmart
Promising review: "A great watch at a great price! Some may call this design 'retro,' but to me, it is the classic Timex style that I remember from the 1960s/1970s. For less than $40, it is a dependable good looking no-nonsense watch that I can wear and not worry about." —Charles
Price: $36.85(originally $45)
2. An adjustable laptop stand here to elevate Dad’s workspace— quite literally — so they can work smarter, not harder. Ya know?
Walmart
Promising review: "I hadn't thought about buying one as they seem expensive when I could just use a bunch of books but I eventually tried one and love the solidness and can even rest my hands on the laptop while typing. With all these Zoom calls, I can raise this to the right level for them. I also like the space underneath, which I did not have with the books/boxes I was using. I enjoyed it so much I bought another for a family member. Very high-quality product that is worth every penny." —Andrew
Price: $24.67
3. A pair of over-ear noise-canceling headphones for the dad who’s earned a little peace and quiet, whether he's tuning into jazz or tuning you out.

Promising review: "If you are watching TV or looking at any screen (phone, tablet, reader, computer) at night it can affect your sleep 'pattern' (keep you awake longer). I purchased these with 0 magnification as an experiment. Now I fall asleep noticeably faster!" —Thom
Price: $15.97
7. A one-touch electric tea kettle designed for the dad who starts every day with intention (aka, a really good cup of tea).
Walmart
Promising review: "Purchased this kettle to make my morning tea, and I am really impressed. First of all, I love that it has a touchscreen and has different options to choose from (i.e. green tea, oolong, etc.). It also displays the temperature and shows the progress as it is heating up during the cycle. Three beeps tell you when it is ready. I also love the fact that it is stainless steel on the inside and not plastic. It's very nice looking with the gold handle. It is larger than I thought it would be, but it's not heavy. I'm very happy about this purchase and would definitely recommend this kettle." —Lisa
Price: $39.96(available in eight colors)
8. A home theater projector for the dad who treats movie night like a sacred ritual. Just don't forget the popcorn.

13. A Bluetooth karaoke microphone made for the dad who never skips a sing-along and insists on hitting every note of “Bohemian Rhapsody."
14. A collapsible duffel bag built for spontaneous weekends away, gym sessions, or to fulfill their ongoing quest to pack just one bag for the longest trip ever.
Walmart
Promising review: “Had almost two years and loving them still! We got these bags last year to go on our trip out west. We chose them because they were literally the last ones on the shelf in our price range. They have been the best duffel bags we have ever owned!!! We have four of them. They have been everywhere – summer camps, grandparents, camping, and across the country. We love them! We like the color, the durability, and the collapsible part. It makes storing them so wonderful. Highly recommend!” —Heather
Price: $13.58+(available in two colors)
15. A beard and body trimmer set that lets them master their beard, buzz, and body hair. Dad taught us that precision is power, and this trimmer sure doesn’t miss.

Promising review: "What a great buy! I cut my own hair, and I needed a new trimmer/clipper. The battery lasts forever. I have only charged it twice in over a year—that's it." —PastorEC

17. An adhesive phone wallet pouch that keeps alllll their essentials (think: cards, cash, and maybe even a secret snack????) right where they need them.
Walmart
Promising review: "This super cute green card holder is so great. The adhesive is very sticky so it won't fall off. And the top cover piece covers the card so no one knows what is inside. The material is fabric and great quality! Just what I was looking for!" —Annika
Price: $6.99+ (available in nine colors)
18. A stainless-steel mug with a built-in reusable straw designed to keep coffee hot, water cold, and anyone's hydration game strong, all day long.
Walmart
Promising review: "I bought this cup a few weeks ago, and it is the best cup I have ever had! This cup has allowed me to easily triple the amount of water that I drink daily. This cup is easily cleaned and easy to carry around. I bought it in the bright pink color, so neither my husband or grandkids can claim it for themselves. The next time I'm in Walmart, I will be buying three new cups in different colors for the rest of the family!" —Sondra
Price: $10.43+(originally $13.79; available in six colors)
19. A pair of two-tone memory foam slippers here to let Dad glide from kitchen to mailbox like royalty, because comfort shouldn't stop at the front door.
20. An electric wine opener set, because wrestling with corks is so last decade (and frankly, an art form better left to this nifty device so as to avoid any unwanted mishaps).
21. A handheld massager to knead out their many knots after a long day of work, because yes, even superheroes need recovery time.
Walmart
Promising review: "I rarely see a product that absolutely amazes me. However, this massager actually does. I have COPD and hurt my back and leg in a motorcycle accident. This massager has helped loosen up my lungs and has made my back and legs feel so good, I think I could outrun a squirrel right now." —Web
Price: $36.99
22. A classic cast-iron skillet they'll be using on repeat, meal after meal, day after day. Perfect for searing steaks, baking cornbread, or flipping pancakes like a pro.
Walmart
Promising review: “Perfect so far and works with induction! Got this cast iron skillet mainly to finish cooking steaks on. Washed and dried the skillet as advised on the label. Then cooked the steaks to med rare with the sous vide, then tossed one at a time in the preheated skillet with olive oil for ~1min/side. PERFECT crust on the steaks. Looking forward to seeing what else I can cook with this pan!” —Kyrie
Price:$14.90+ (originally $19.25+; available in five sizes)
23. A cast-iron griddle press for the dad who takes his grill marks seriously (and believes bacon should always lie flat).
Walmart
Promising review: "I bought this because it's from Blackstone, so figured quality would be great. It is. It's very heavy to hold down bacon well. Its large enough to press around four to six slices of bacon at a time, which saves time. I've also used it as a burger press, and it works! Note that you will need to season this griddle press and maintain it, though." —Johnny0723
Price: $21.97
24. A rotating spice rack with 16 pre-filled and labeled spice jars, since your dad is the kind who believes every dish deserves a dash of flair, and who appreciates a well-organized kitchen.
25. A short-sleeve polo T-shirt designed to keep him cool, looking sharp, and never worrying about wrinkles, whether they're on the course or on the couch.
Walmart
Promising review: “I have purchased several of these shirts. These are really nice shirts! They hold color well, wash after wash, no issues with shrinkage or stretching (the George shirts do stretch over time) and the fit/finish is quite good. These are truly a runaway hit for Walmart. Higher overall quality than the lower cost George shirts (also very good for the money), and all have been excellent. Highly recommended!” —TheKid72
Price: $16.98 (available in sizes S–5XL and in 28 colors)
26. A drill brush attachment kit here to transform Dad’s power drill into a grime-fighting machine, because scrubbing tile by hand is simply NOT it.
Walmart
This kit includes a round brush, a small flat brush, and a large flat brush.
Promising review: “I am so glad I found this!!! I clean my shower every week, but I have never been able to get the stains/hard water, whatever this grime is, off. I had tried every product known to man. I cleaned my tub with good ol' fashioned elbow grease and then used the same weekly cleaner I always do with this drill attachment. Obviously, my arm doesn't have the same rotation speed as this but dannggg...I also used it on my very dirty white bathroom floor grout. HIGHLY RECOMMEND it — it saves your arm!!” —Mia
Price: $18.95(available in three colors)
27. A temperature-control smartmug they can use to set their temperature and customize presets via an iOS- and Android-compatible app. Because lukewarm sips shouldn't be part of anyone's morning routine.
28. An electric towel warmer with a built-in timer so Dad's post-shower time feels more like a spa than a regular ole bathroom ambiance. I mean, warm towels?? The ULTIMATE flex in my book.
29. A six-piece knife set for the dad who treats every meal like a masterpiece. These deliver on both precision AND presentation.
Walmart
The set includes a 3-inch paring knife, a 5-inch utility knife, a 5-inch chef knife, a 5-inch santoku knife, all-purpose scissors, and a natural wood storage block.
Promising review: “This is a great little set! It's perfect for a wedding gift or someone just starting out cooking! It has all the basics. Everything was very sharp, and the handles were shaped perfectly.” —julie
Price: $14.97(originally $17.88)
30. A portable Bose speaker that's incredible thanks to its waterproof design and up-to-12 hours of battery life(!!). Now Dad can keep the party going longgggg after it ends, no matter where they are.
