1. The popular Yeti Rambler mug
Known for their ability to keep drinks cold for hours (and even days) on end, Yeti coolers have developed quite the cult following. But if you aren't interested in spending hundreds of dollars on Dad's gift, fear not—you can get the equally popular mug version of Yeti's famous coolers with the Rambler.

2. A subscription to Kindle Unlimited
If your dad's idea of relaxing is kicking back with a good book, there's arguably no better (or more affordable) gift than a Kindle Unlimited subscription. It will give him instant access to thousands of e-books, audio books, magazines, and podcasts so he can check off everything on his must-read (or must-listen) list without ever leaving the house. Bonus: He doesn't even need a Kindle (though we do recommend the Kindle Paperwhite)—he can use the app on almost any device, including his phone or tablet.

3. A sentimental photo book from Artifact Uprising
Let's be honest: Personal gifts make the best gifts. And it doesn't get much more personal than a custom photo book. People are obsessed with this one from Artifact Uprising because the finished product is high-quality (from the professional binding to the sleek glossy pages) and because it's so easy to design (there are tons of pre-made templates to choose from and you can even directly import photos from Instagram).

4. The Corkcicle Chillsner to keep his drinks cold

Fortunately, you can prevent him from ever experiencing that again with the Corkcicle Chillsner. With over 1,000 positive reviews on Amazon, the unique in-bottle beer chiller is praised for being incredibly effective and easy to use—not only does Dad simply have to put it in the freezer to prep it but he can still drink his beer without removing it.
