Father's Day falls on June 15 this year, which means you've got to hustle if you want dear old Dad's present to arrive on time. Luckily, you can still find great gifts that will make it to the father (or father figure) in your life before the buzzer, largely thanks to digital deliveries and two-day shipping with Amazon Prime. (If you don't have a Prime subscription, now might be the time to sign up for a free trial.)
From a meat subscription to a roll-up tool bag to the ultimate pair of comfy sandals, our editors rounded up a list of the ultimate last-minute gifts to make Father's Day special -- and he doesn't even have to know you waited until the absolute last second to purchase his present.
This isn't a regular tool bag. It's a super convenient roll-up tool bag, complete with four large compartments, two detachable pouches and five outside packets. It features everything the dad in your life will need to organize tools and all those sneaky little screws and washers that tend to drown in the bottom of other bags. The compact design means it can easily fit in a vehicle or even be thrown on a bike, if that's more his speed. He'll think of you every time he reaches for a wrench and it's miraculously right where it's supposed to be. There's even a coupon available now that knocks an extra $3 off the price.
The dad you're shopping for will undoubtedly appreciate the sun protection and effortless style of this straw hat -- receding hairline or not. Whether he's weeding in the garden, relaxing on a boat, or strolling the beach, this hat will have him covered. Thoughtfully designed for maximum ventilation, it'll be his go-to for those hot, sweaty summer days. The fun under-brim pattern is the icing on the cake.
Give your dear old dad the gift of cool comfort this Father's Day. This rechargeable neck fan is a great choice going into the warm summer months, especially if your Pops is the kind of guy who sweats even in the middle of winter. The hands-free design is perfect for gardening, grocery shopping, watching sporting events and more.
If your dad's the kind of guy who's planning to cook his own Father's Day dinner because he's that into his grill game, surprise him with this sophisticated instant read meat thermometer that'll make his BBQ fare even better. This handy gadget will ensure he'll never overcook (or undercook) dinner ever again. It's also waterproof, has an easy-to-read backlit display and it shuts off after 90 seconds of inactivity, which is very good for dads who are always scrambling to get dinner to the table on time.
For the dad who lives and breathes golf, this layered trunk organizer will be a hole-in-one in the gift department. It's especially made for golfers and is equipped with two (ventilated!) compartments for shoes on the bottom, and then the top has small compartments perfect for storing all sorts of accessories like balls, golf tees, scorecards, gloves, and so on. If the dad in your life is constantly losing track of his golf gear or it's strewn all over his car, this present will surely earn you some major points.
If Dad enjoys camping, backpacking or RVing, he probably already has all the standard gear he needs. But if he doesn't have a hammock yet, believe us... he needs one right now. This portable hammock from Wise Owl is lightweight and easy to roll up and pack. And it's so comfortable, he might just end up using it to lounge around in the backyard.
The Roku Express 4K Plus is our top choice for the best streaming device available. This handy little box adds nearly every streaming channel to any HDMI-equipped TV -- from Netflix to Disney Plus to Peacock to HBO Max, and everything in between -- at full 4K resolution with HDR support. If Dad enjoys watching shows, movies and more, this is an affordable gift that will go a long way.
The JBL Clip 4 is one of our favorite mini Bluetooth speakers, and it's a great gift for a dad who does a lot of traveling. It's extremely portable, with an integrated carabiner clip for clipping onto a backpack, and it delivers impressive sound for its small size. With an IP67 water resistance rating, this durable little device can survive being dunked in shallow water and is dust proof.
You know how when Dad wants to build a fire he searches around for twigs while holding a jug of lighter fluid? Terrifying. Help the guy out by getting him a handy tabletop Solo Stove, where all he has to do is add some fuel and turn the thing on. Plus, it's smoke-free! It's perfect for cozy nights on the patio, camping or a good ol' s'mores night. You know he loves those gooey goodies.
Does the dad in your life complain about his aching back or tired feet? Or does he simply want to be ultra comfy at all times? Then give him the gift of walking on "clouds" with these extremely lightweight sandals. They're designed to reduce the stress on feet, joints and backs thanks to their foam Tech and patented footbed. The short version: Dads will like these sandals so much they'll wear them through the winter -- and maybe even to bed. Basic black is always a good choice. However, they come in a variety of colors and styles too.
The Tumbler knife sharpener is a good way to do a maintenance task that can otherwise be very dull. Despite what the TikTok videos might show, it takes way more than three or four swipes on either side. If you are patient, you can get a nice sharp edge on the dullest of knives. The magnet holds the knife at the perfect angle while you sharpen it so you know each knife is going to cut the way it should.
As a gift, it's probably best to buy the set with the stand and strop, but if you are trying to keep the price down, the magnet and roller are really all you need to make this a great Father's Day gift.
-- James Bricknell (Dad of 5)

If you order via Amazon Prime, Dad should receive it within two days.

Meat lovers, rejoice! Pop's dinner just got a serious upgrade.

If Dad always enjoys learning something new, give him a gift subscription to MasterClass. The online learning service offers over 180 classes taught by A-list celebrities, with new content released each month. You can dive into cooking with Gordon Ramsay, poetry with Amanda Gorman, filmmaking with Martin Scorsese, skateboarding with Tony Hawk and more. A standard subscription for an individual costs $10 a month, or you can opt for the Plus plan (two devices) at $15 per month or the Premium plan ($20).
If Dad enjoys a cold, frothy brew, give him the gift of a monthly beer subscription. The Craft Beer Club is a popular choice among craft beer enthusiasts -- and for good reason. Each month you get a shipment of beer featuring small, independent brewers from around the country. Many of the tasty brews are award-winners and can be hard to get your hands on depending on where you live.
You can purchase a single beer box for $65 or enroll Dad in a subscription with ongoing shipments (3, 6 or 12 months). Each box features two different breweries and a mix of four styles from each one, for a total of 12 beers. Once you've placed your order, you can print out a free gift announcement card that will tell him its on its way.
Does Dad have an old guitar lying around that he hasn't picked up since he was in college? Get him a gift card for guitar lessons so he can get back to doing something he enjoys. Whether he wants to play acoustic, electric, bass or ukulele, a subscription to Fender Play will give him access to bite-size lessons he can learn at his own pace. A three-month subscription to Fender Play costs just $20, or get him a six-month subscription for $50.
