If your dad is anything like ... most dads, they’ve probably already told you they don’t want a fuss made for them this Father’s Day. And even though they may mean that, we still think they’ll be pleasantly surprised with a gift that you got an amazing deal on. The Wirecutter Deals team has pulled together the best deals on some of our favorite items, so you can say “I love you, Dad!” without breaking the bank.
Spa-quality towels
Onsen Bath Towel Set
Deal price: $75 with code WCSET; street price: $100
Yes, by this point in life, your dad probably already owns some bath towels. But they probably don’t own these quick-drying, waffle-knit delights. A step above normal towels, the Onsens are among Wirecutter’s favorite towels thanks to their luxurious feel, soft Supima cotton, and attractive appearance. They also dry in less than five hours, so they’re the perfect investment if your dad showers often but likes to keep a tidy bathroom. At $75, they're within $5 of the lowest price we've ever seen when you use code WCSET.

Even more spa-quality towels
Onsen Bath Bundle
Deal price: $110 with code WCBUNDLE; street price: $156
The only thing better than two of our favorite towels is six of them. This bundle features two each of Onsen’s plush bath towels, hand towels, and face towels, to give the dad in your life the full spa experience. Not only are the towels made from super-soft Supima cotton, they also dry quickly, so they’ll be mildew-free and fresh-feeling every time Dad uses them. Make sure to use code WCBUNDLE at checkout to get the deal.

A pillow to rest their head on
Nest Bedding Easy Breather Memory Foam Pillow
Deal price: $50; street price: $100
For the best night’s sleep, your dad deserves the best pillow. And though there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for that, there is a one-size-fits-most: The Nest Bedding Easy Breather Memory Foam Pillow has been our consistent tester favorite every year since 2016, when we first recommended it. Because of its firm but soft support, its adjustable shredded-foam fill, and its high-quality materials, we recommend it for side- and back-sleepers. And just in case your dad isn’t similarly dazzled, Nest Bedding offers decent return and warranty policies.

Wireless charging
Mophie 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand
Deal price: $92 with code WCSTAND34; street price: $140
If your Dad is a committed Apple user, spare them the headache of jumbled cords and plugs by giving them a single device capable of charging their iPhone, Apple Watch, and Airpods. The Mophie 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand is our favorite from testing: Rather than requiring Dad to precisely line up their phone on a flat pad for charging, as many other wireless charging stations do, the Mophie offers an angled stand that makes proper alignment practically foolproof. And it charges faster than the competition, so your dad will have no excuse not to pick up when you call! Use code WCSTAND34 to grab this deal.

A theater wherever Dad wants it
XGIMI MoGo Pro
Deal price: $440 with code XGIMIWIR01; street price: $580
If your dad enjoys the occasional impromptu movie night but wouldn’t want a big-screen TV taking up space in the living room or bedroom, a small, portable projector will let them easily display video on a wall anywhere. The XGIMI MoGo Pro is among our favorites for the task. It delivers a good-looking image with better contrast and detail than most of its competitors. It’s easy to set up and use. And this projector is compact, has integrated speakers, and has an internal battery. Even better, the MoGo Pro has Android TV with Chromecast and Google Assistant built in, so it’s basically a projector and full-fledged streaming media player in one (and if your dad wants even more streaming content, there are HDMI and USB inputs aboard). Using code XGIMIWIR01 at checkout drops the price to just over $440—an excellent discount.

Boil over
Cuisinart PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle (CPK-17)
Deal price: $74 with code WIRECUTTER26; street price: $100
Whether your dad is a ramen noodle enthusiast or a green tea snob who needs their water heated just so, a great electric kettle will make the task easier. Our favorite from testing is the Cuisinart PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle. It’s easy to use and highly accurate in its temperature settings. And it has a “keep warm” function that holds water at the set temperature for 30 minutes. The three-year warranty is also quite a bit more generous than the coverage for similarly priced electric kettles we looked at, making this a Father’s Day gift we feel confident will last. Use code WIRECUTTER26 to score a rare sub-$80 deal for this kettle.

Insulated glasses
Bodum Pavina Double Wall Glasses (Set of 2)
Deal price: $15 with code WIRECUTTER26; street price: $20
Your dad deserves to enjoy hot coffee that stays hot and iced coffee that stays cold. Wirecutter senior staff writer Lesley Stockton found the solution with these glasses from Bodum, down to just $15 when you use code WIRECUTTER26. The stylish little tumblers feature a double-wall construction made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass, which keeps beverages at their desired temperatures longer (and also just feels nice to hold). They’re also dishwasher-, microwave-, oven-, and freezer-safe, so your dad won’t have to worry about them exploding or cracking.

Gorgeous brewing
Chemex Six Cup Classic Series
Deal price: $31 with code WIRECUTTER26; street price: $42
The Chemex is more than just a highly functional pour-over dripper; it’s also a work of art. (Really—it’s included in the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection!) For the dad who wants only a few cups of coffee per go, it’s the perfect device. Featuring a built-in carafe, the Chemex reliably produces balanced, nuanced coffee. Like most of our other dripper recommendations, this model uses proprietary filters that are not usually available in grocery stores. But they’re easy enough to find online (just make sure to grab some before you deliver the gift to Dad!). Use code WIRECUTTER26 to get the deal.

A whole latte love
Bodum Latteo Milk Frother
Deal price: $13 with code WIRECUTTER26; street price: $17
A milk frother can spell the difference between a humdrum cup of joe and an enlightened morning experience. Don’t you think the dad in your life deserves the latter? This carafe is made of glass, so they can pop it into the microwave to heat up the milk in seconds—and later run the whole thing through the dishwasher for effortless cleanup. Apply code WIRECUTTER26 at checkout to get the discount.

For an al fresco fete
GSI Outdoors Pioneer Table Set
Deal price: $52 with code WIRECUTTER26; street price: $70
Whether your dad is an avid camper or just likes to host the occasional picnic, they’ll need a robust set of outdoor dishes (and if they’ve been happy their whole life just using paper plates, now is the time for an upgrade!). Give them a set of dishes durable enough to be hauled outside but pretty enough to make a meal feel special. This enamelware set from GSI Outdoors is lightweight, so it’s ideal for carrying long distances. And it’s machine-washable, so cleanup will be a breeze whenever your dad returns home. Apply code WIRECUTTER26 at checkout to get this rare discount.
