Looking for cheap gifts for dad who wants nothing on Father's Day? Here's a list of inexpensive gifts to get your dad that will make you the favorite!
Father's Day always seems to sneak up on us quickly, and this year will be no different.
The purpose of Father's Day is to let Dad know how much he's appreciated and just how special he is. It's a special time to shower your dad with all of the things he loves (the TV remote? haha jk).
All of these holidays do put a dent in our bank accounts, but the good thing is, you don't have to spend a lot of money to show dad how much he means to him.
There are so many thoughtful ways to shower your dad this Father's Day that won't break the bank.
This is a list of the best cheap gifts for dad who wants nothing that he'll ACTUALLY like (and aren't generic).
Best Father's Day Gifts on a Budget
1. Storyworth
Storyworth is hands-down the best Father's Day gift you can get. No questions asked.
I have gifted this to my in-laws, parents, friends parents, grandparents, etc.
While it's not the cheapest gift on this list, it's definitely the best (and most thoughtful) gift that both your father and your family will adore for generations to come.
Storyworth is the gift of telling your story and it's an amazing idea.
When you purchase Storyworth, he will receive a question about his life via email every week for a year.
He will answer the questions, share photos, and add every detail he can.
They will ask him questions like “what was your first vacation?” or “what was your grandma like?”
At the end of the year, Storyworth will compile all of the stories into a hardcover book that you can keep and pass down from generation to generation so that future kids can learn about their ancestors.
I gave this to my dad for his birthday this year. He's a sweet man that lives for golf, but he doesn't share a whole lot about his childhood.
In his first question from Storyworth, I learned that he used to be in the Mickey Mouse Club!!! WHAT!?! How has he never told us this. My mom knew, but my brother and I never knew. We couldn't believe it. This then prompted us to spend an hour in person asking more questions about his experience.
You could tell he loved sharing these memories.
This is just one example, but there have been so many more.
Storyworth has brought our family even closer because we learn new things about our parents every week.
This is a fantastic gift for dad this year. I guarantee he will be so touched and it will be the best gift he gets all year.
Plus, you are guaranteed to be the favorite child.
2. Personalized Knife
I'm not sure what it is with men and their knives, but all men love knives.
This Father's Day, get your dad a personalized knife.
It is inexpensive and will have a personalized engraving.
I got this gift for my dad and he absolutely loved it. He actually got a tear in his eye because he deemed it so thoughtful.
The quality of it was great, shipping was fast, and it looks like you spent a lot of money on it. It's one of the best cheap gifts for the dad that wants nothing…and yet he'll love it!

3. Engraved Wood Watch
Okay, this may be my favorite Father's Day gift idea on a budget.
I actually gave this to my boyfriend years ago and it is still his favorite gift from me.
I am giving it to my dad this year for Father's Day. It's special because it's wood (wood watches are gorgeous) and you can engrave it.
For your husband on Father's Day, you can write a phrase like “We love you more with every second.” and for your dad you could say something like “Happy Father's Day <3 Your Kids”.
Either way, you really can't go wrong with this gift.
4. Golf Cooler
This is for the dad who loves to golf (or should I say lives to golf.)
This would be my dad.
This is a golf cooler that holds 6 beer/soda cans or 2 bottles of wine.
It's designed to fit right into their golf bag so that their drinks stay cool as they play until they're ready for them!
My dad loves every golf accessory known to mankind so this one was a no-brainer!
If the father in your life loves golf, he's sure to love this cooler as well!
5. Whiskey Set
Does your dad enjoy a glass of whiskey or really any alcoholic beverage?
This whiskey set is neat and fun for the dad that likes a little nightcap.
It comes with bullet coasters, glasses, whiskey cards, and whiskey bullets that can be used to cool down the drink without watering it down.
It's a really neat set that my dad takes out every now and then with buddies.
Any father is sure to love this gift!
6. Custom Grill Set
If you've got a grill master in your life, you've GOT to get him a custom grill set.
This one is ALWAYS a crowd-pleaser.
Dad loves his grill and a custom grill set means that no one else gets to use his tools.
The grill is his domain so having a custom set with his name will make him so special.
It will also reinforce how much you appreciate the amazing food he grills (which always makes a man feel fantastic).
7. I'd Rather Be Golfing Socks
These customized socks are so perfect for the dad that loves to golf and lounge (a different take on Netflix and chill).
Dad will love watching a show in these after a long day of golf.
They are hilarious and always a great gift that is sure to put a smile on his face.
8. Funny Shirt
Okay, let's be honest.
Daughters are the best (and always the favorite).
If your dad has a sense of humor and you want to make him laugh, this is the shirt you get him.
I got this for my dad one year to be funny…he wears it ALL THE TIME.
In fact, he GETS COMPLIMENTS ON IT!!!!! Kid you not.
People ALWAYS say something to him about it. (I have been shocked.)
Get it and you won't regret it. This definitely classifies as one of the best and cheap gifts for dad who wants nothing!
9. Omaha Steaks
Clearly this is a gift for the whole family that he's sure to love no matter what!
This Omaha Steak package comes with SO MANY THINGS!!!
Everyone loves the Omaha Steak brand….they're known for this!!
This package comes with bacon-wrapped filet mignon. I repeat, bacon-wrapped filet mignon. Ummm…YES PLEASE!
It also comes with chicken breasts, scalloped potatoes, Omaha burgers, jumbo franks, and more!
This is a winner and the price is actually fantastic for this!
10. Massager
If the man in your life is a sports enthusiast or always at the gym, he will LOVE this massager.
In fact, I've gotten it for every man in my life. At first, they look at me and think this gift isn't that great…until they try it!!
After trying it one time, all of them are ADDICTED!!!
They use it almost every day.
It really works, get kinks out and helps you feel more relaxed. He is sure to enjoy it for years to come.
11. Hero Shirt
This shirt is so sweet and special.
If your husband is a tactical type of guy, he is sure to love this shirt because it combines his three favorite things: being a husband, dad, and tactical gear.
It's super inexpensive and he'll wear it with pride, as he should.
12. Custom Apron
If the father in your life likes to cook, he's sure to love this custom apron!
You have several options to choose from and can customize it based on your preferences!
I always think men look so adorable in their aprons so don't forget to cheer him up even more by commenting on it as well!
It's a staple great gift for Father's Day.
13. Handsome Watch
This one is more of a splurge, but how cool is this watch?
It is so masculine and every time my man wears it, I think he looks like James Bond.
He gets compliments on it constantly too so I knew I had to add it to the list.
Every man needs a good watch for going out to dinner, going to work meetings, weddings, etc.
This is definitely the one!
