From changing a flat tire to mowing the lawn to entertaining us with horrible-but-hilarious jokes, dads do a lot for us. And while we should be grateful for the papas in our life every day of the year, Father's Day is the perfect time to remind them just how much we care about them. But how do you express gratitude for all that Dad does with just one gift?

While no present will ever truly capture the love you have for Dad, there are some gifts that he'll appreciate (and actually use). Since we're experts at finding the best gifts (at the best prices) here at Reviewed, we've rounded up 50 of the best Father's Day gifts of 2020 for every type of dad and every budget. Whether it's the best noise-canceling headphones, a boozy subscription box, or a timeless Patagonia sweater, these are the best presents to buy for him this year.

1. For the dad who likes to get outdoors: This top-rated OtterBox cooler

What's the one thing hiking, camping, and even lounging on the beach all have in common? They all require a solid, heavy-duty cooler—and Dad is bound to love this one from Otterbox. Of all the coolers we've tested, the Venture 45 was the most versatile, the most durable, and offered the best insulation. In fact, it kept the interior an icy 40 degrees for almost five straight days (!!).

2. For the dad who likes to jam out to classic rock: The number one noise-canceling headphones

Dad loves reliving his younger days by listening to The Eagles at max volume—but the rest of the family does not. That's why he needs a pair of noise-canceling headphones like these ones from Sony. When we tested some of the most popular pairs out there (including Bose!), we found these ones to be the best at blocking noise and some of the most comfortable. Plus, they have customizable active noise cancellation technology so Dad can choose how much of the outside world he hears while he's rocking out.

Meet the Father's Day gift of 2020: the Dad Hoodie. The soft and stretchy sweatshirt (perfect for dad bods-in-the-making) has a breathable mesh lining filled with plenty of pockets—including one specifically for bottles—so new dads can leave the diaper bag at home. With a perfect five-star rating from customers, it's a game-changer.

4. For the dad obsessed with getting the perfect shave: This heated razor from Gillette

According to hundreds of reviewers, a heated razor is something Dad never knew he needed—until now.

People love that the razor heats up in just seconds and that you can choose just how hot it gets based on your preferences and comfort.

5. For the meat-eating dad: A ButcherBox subscription

Steak, burgers, bacon, oh my! He'll get all of the above—and plenty more—with a subscription to ButcherBox. The trendy meat delivery service offers a vast selection of high-quality meat and seafood (it's all grass-fed and organic) that he can pick and choose from each month. I've used it myself multiple times and loved how convenient it was and how tasty all of my cuts were (the burgers were arguably the best I've ever made!).

6. For the dad who prefers his beer on tap: This growler that doubles as a keg

Fact: Beer tastes better poured out of a tap. If Dad agrees, get him the uKeg from GrowlerWerks. Made of vacuum-insulated stainless steel, the growler/keg combo has gotten a thumbs up from over 1,000 reviewers who say it keeps their beer ice cold and carbonated (you can even customize the carbonation level) all day long. And whenever he's ready for happy hour, Dad can use the tap dispenser to pour the perfect pint.

8. For the dad who puts Sriracha on everything: This monthly hot sauce box

There are two types of people in this world: those who drown everything in hot sauce and those who don't. If Dad belongs in the former group, gift him a subscription to Fuego Box. Every month, he'll get a selection of small-batch craft hot sauces which you can customize based on his heat preferences (from mild to "pain-seeker").

9. For the dad who likes to be comfortable: This cult-favorite loungewear from Everlane

There's no such thing as having too much loungewear. That's why Dad will appreciate a piece or two of cozy, comfy classics from Everlane, the brand that is all the rage right now. Not only does Everlane make our experts' favorite white T-shirt, but they also make a crewneck pullover that reviewers rave is the most comfortable sweatshirt they've ever owned.

10. For the bookworm dad: A subscription to Kindle Unlimited

Why give Dad one book when you could give him thousands? After all, that's what he'll have access to with a subscription to Kindle Unlimited.
