The 15 Best Father’s Day Gifts Your Dad Can Actually Use During Quarantine

Quarantine may have changed some things this Father’s Day—you can’t go to baseball games or crowded restaurants—but one aspect remains the same: It’s still hard to find the perfect gift for someone who says they don’t need anything. Despite Dad’s insistence, there are plenty of unique gifts he’ll be grateful to have delivered to his door by June 21.

A good Father’s Day gift during quarantine is slightly different than the norm. Your gift should take into account the shift in our daily lives due to coronavirus, like social distancing. The father figure you’re shopping for likely has more free time than usual and may have even picked up a new hobby in the last few months, so try to focus on what their day-to-day looks like now. Opt for items that make their time at home just a little more enjoyable, like a smart coffee mug, a pillow, or a robe.

It’s also worth noting that shipping is still slightly delayed for many companies. Even though we have over a week before the big day, consider options like online classes or subscription boxes that avoid the hassle of checking tracking numbers altogether.

Now that we’ve outlined what qualifies as a good Father’s Day gift during quarantine, check out our suggestions for 15 thoughtful gifts your dad, grandpa, uncle, or whoever you’re celebrating will be ecstatic to receive next Sunday.
