When it comes to Christmas shopping for Dad, figuring out what to get him can feel like a mission impossible. Below, some ideas for dads and any dad-types on your list
There’s an art to gift-giving for Dad; it’s a dance of being one step ahead of the proactive fathers who buy everything they need themselves, and circumventing the practical kinds who always swear they don’t want anything—and yet you know they deserve something special. With all the gift options online, it can lead to some serious decision fatigue, so MEGA Style rounds up some of the best gifts for your dads—depending on their hobbies and interests.

For the Fashion-Forward Dad
For the dads who are sure to appreciate a stylish addition to his wardrobe, get something as reliable as a fresh, clean white sneakers to go with everything in his carefully curated closet, timeless jeans sure to be in his regular rotation, or black aviator sunglasses to top off his already-cool ensemble. Or impress the man whose wardrobe is almost exclusively tees with a Jack Nicklaus polo and have him look sharp at any occasion.
For the Tony-Stark Dad (AKA The One Who Loves the Gadgets and Gizmos)
Show your father you care with a shiny new device if they’re the type to acquire the newest gadgets. If he loves movies but finds it inconvenient to go to the theaters, give him the gift of an at-home experience with a soundbar and a streaming system. Most dads also love records; if yours does, get him a turntable. An affordable and accessible option is a shiny new arm candy from a brand that most dads love—Timex’s iconic pocket watch will be available exclusively at SM Mall of Asia for only Php50 on November 16. With only 100 of these watches available, it’s a rare chance to own a piece of history, so don’t miss out on getting one for your dad—if he’s a longtime fan or a new collector, this timepiece spans seasons.
For the Amateur Chef Dad
For the Master Chef-hopeful—you know, the dad who meticulously plates his meals and spends his Sundays grilling, get him a quick snack fix-maker. Another idea is a sous-vide device guaranteed to cook a great cut of steak. Kick it up a notch for the bartender or the cocktail connoisseur dads—purchase this set so he can whip up the perfect old-fashioned or negroni, or a coffee-maker to elevate his morning coffee routine, or have him show off his cooking chops with a homemade holiday paella with this paella pan.
For the La-Z-Boy-loving Dad
He’s happiest when ensconced in his special chair—either watching TV or napping. Take his comfort to the next level instead with a fleece blanket, alleviate his stress with a massager gun, or bring the snacks to his beloved chair with a convenient chip and dip bowl.
For the Sporty Dad
The active, swole, and sporty will love the gift of new training gear, such as a pair of Nike running shorts, an insulated water bottle, or a duffel bag he can bring to the gym. For the father trying out a new hobby or sport, get him a Pickleball paddle. Of course, don’t forget
Water bottles are classic gifts to give loved ones, but how about teching it up a notch? The Noerden LIZ+ Smart Bottle elevates your drinking experience with cutting-edge technology, including UV sterilization for clean water, a digital screen displaying essential information about your drink, drinking reminders for maximum hydration, USB-charging, and even temperature tracking.
