These Macy's gifts mean big summer fun for the whole crew.

Fathers are some of the trickiest people to shop for, no matter how low-key they seem to be. Whether yours constantly insists they “don’t need anything,” or the only hint they’ve dropped is that they want to spend more time with the family (cue the aww), finding something useful that they’ll enjoy for seasons to come can be a challenge. So, how do we wrap up our thanks and spoil the father figures in our lives with just one gift? Go for something that will delight not just Dad, but the whole fam, too. (How’s that for a win-win?).

Thankfully, Macy’s has a spot-on selection of gifts dads will love in group settings, no matter what they’re currently a connoisseur of (like that one specific hobby they picked up in their downtime over the past year at home). That’s right, whether Dad is down for a picnic, a ’90s movie marathon, or even a game of croquet in the backyard to celebrate, your gift-giving is sure to be golden with these fun picks. Scroll on to see our favorites from the top gifting authority — and why these picks are pure fun for the whole crew.

For The Musically-Inclined Dad

FLIP 5 Portable Waterproof Speaker
JBL
The Dad who’s always rocking out (you know, the one who constantly has the soundtrack to his life on repeat) will love having this gadget to share his fave tunes with the family. Enter: a powerful waterproof speaker with 12-hour battery life that’s ideal for the pool, beach, or even Dad’s next boating adventure.

For The Sun Catcher

Brolly Beach Umbrella Tent
Oniva® by Picnic Time
Dads who love the sun — but also appreciate a reprieve from its rays — will find themselves right at home perched underneath this sleek sun tent. Its spacious interior means other family members can also settle in for a break during beach bonding time.

For The Yard Games Aficionado

6-Player Croquet Set
Hathaway
For the yard game-loving Dad who’s more ‘old school,’ there’s nothing more fitting than a leisurely game of croquet. For an all-day event, turn it into a tournament and use a classic chalkboard scoreboard.

For The Grill Master

Grill Seasoning 6 Pack Seasonings and Rubs Spices Set
Spicewalla Brand
That cookout gets 10 times more fun with clever seasonings that zhoosh up any meat or veggie. Plus, little taste testers can get in on the fun by helping Dad land the family’s new secret spice recipe.

For The Dad With Good Scents

3-Pc. Y Eau de Parfum Gift Set
Yves Saint Laurent
For the dad whose fragrance game is unmatched, a fancy three-piece set of this woodsy sage and vetiver cologne makes the ultimate Father's Day gift. Complete with an eau de parfum spray, after-shave balm, and shower gel, the whole fam will want to borrow one of these luxe grooming essentials.

For The Competitive Dad

LED Light Up Frisbee
Cipton Sports
What’s better than a little friendly competition? Plan a family-wide tournament in the backyard with this fun battery-powered frisbee. Its tap-activated LED technology means your game of kids vs. parents can go way later than sunset (if needed).

For The Frequent Picnicker

Blanket Tote
Oniva by Picnic Time
For the dad who’s all about venturing into the great outdoors (and likes to bring his favorite food and beverages with him), this portable tote unfolds into a soft picnic blanket. It’s waterproof, comfortably seats the whole family on its soft fleece topside, and even has a security pocket for keeping small essentials safe.

For The Movie-Marathoner

All Things Simple Gift Set
Wabash Valley Farms
Shocker: There are movies and series we still haven’t seen. Fancy-up any viewing session with artisanal-style popcorn that’s so good you won’t miss the theater version (plus, it’ll keep the little ones occupied — with a little supervision!).

For The IPA Lover

Everyday IPA Beer Making Kit
Brooklyn Brew Shop
If Dad likes trying out new brews, chances are, making one from scratch (basically) will also be high on the ‘must-do’ list. Of-age kids can join in for a day of beer brewing, and the best part is it comes with all the ingredients at the ready.

For The Dad Who Literally Has It All

Super Dad Gift Card
Macy's
Give him the gift of shopping with you. Treat him to a Macy’s Gift Card in any amount, then take him to the store for a spree (just the two of you). To begin, just choose the value amount (cards start at $10).
