The Best Gifts For Dad At Home Depot This Father's Day

Each year, Americans spend $13 billion on gifts for their dads on Father's Day, with most presents falling into the category of a special outing or experience gift (via Entrepreneur). If you're looking for something more physical that he can use throughout the year, however, there are plenty of places that sell items that cater to his unique interests. For the dad that loves to work with his hands and spend time outdoors, there's no better shopping location than Home Depot.

This massive retailer has seemingly everything you could possibly need when it comes to building the perfect home, but it also carries a wide selection of giftable items that are a great fit for the hobbyist grillmasters, woodworkers, landscapers, and tech lovers of the world. If you're having a hard time finding the perfect present with Father's Day right around the corner, take a look at some of our top gift picks your dad is sure to love.

For the amateur grillmasters

Father's Day is perfectly aligned with the beginning of summer, and for many dads, that means one thing: backyard barbeque season. Grills and grilling accessories make great gifts for the dad that loves to cook, but if you really want to splurge on a present to impress, consider giving him a smoker. This Nexgrill Oakford 580 Wifi Pellet Grill Smoker is one of the most well-priced options on the market at $399, but the slightly lower price point doesn't come at the sacrifice of quality or convenience.

This smoker has received a solid 4.4 stars across 123 reviews, with most buyers saying that it's well-made and a perfect starting point for beginners. It's fairly small compared to other smokers, meaning it's easy to store during the off-season, and it even includes a convenient app that allows you to remotely monitor your food's cook time and temperature. If you know your dad already enjoys grilling and cooking outdoors, a smoker is a great gift that gives him the opportunity to explore new techniques.

For the tech lovers

If your dad is committed to exploring the newest technology, consider gifting him something that can help him take the next step toward a smart home, like the Google Nest Learning Thermostat. This smart thermostat is compatible with most homes, fairly quick to install, and boasts a wide array of smart features that you wouldn't get with a typical thermostat. Instead of simply maintaining a consistent temperature, the Google Nest learns your daily habits and adjusts the thermostat for you, helping to cut down on energy costs and save you money throughout the year. The temperature can also be changed remotely through the Google Nest app and can connect to Google Assistant for voice control, making temperature switches throughout the day more convenient.

Reviewers have given this thermostat 4.8 stars across a whopping 22,766 reviews on the Home Depot website. Most say it was incredibly easy to set up and connect to their other devices — as long as you check it will work with the existing HVAC system using Google's online compatibility checker, of course — and its sleek look and convenient features make the slightly more costly upgrade worth the $199 price tag.

For the yard of the month nominee

If your father is already known to impeccably maintain his lawn, it's likely that he already has a well-loved mower and edger that he uses to keep it looking spic and span. If one of his go-to's is starting to look a bit worn down, an upgrade is a great gift, but, if he seems to have everything he needs, consider gifting him something complementary, like this RYOBI 1800 PSI 1.2 GPM Cold Water Corded Electric Pressure Washer. His perfectly trimmed lawn might make an impact on its own, but it's sure to stand out even more next to a squeaky-clean driveway, fit for an incredibly satisfying pressure washer before and after photo. This pressure washer can also be used for other projects outside, like cleaning a fence or hosing down siding, so it's a great tool to have on hand for regular home maintenance.

This pressure washer has also racked up some pretty good reviews, especially considering its relatively low price point of $99. It has earned 4.5 stars across 1,240 reviews, and many customers are fans of its compact size and powerful spray.

For the handyman

Extra 20-volt batteries might not be as splashy as some of the other gifts on this list, but, if you have a dad that frequently works with power tools on his projects, it's one of the best presents you can buy. It's likely he already has a set of tools that he uses and loves, but these sets usually only come with one or two batteries that are compatible. Extra batteries will give him the chance to replace what's worn out, use more tools at once, and always keep one battery charging to avoid having to pause and wait in the middle of a project if something dies.

Before you buy, make sure you know what brand he uses so you can get something compatible. Most brands sell extra batteries for around $100 to $200. This DEWALT 20V MAX XR Premium Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah Battery Pack will cost you about $150 for two batteries, but other brands, like RYOBI, Milwaukee, and RIGID all carry their own replacement batteries for their line of tools, too.

For the dad that loves to lounge

Having a well-maintained outdoor space is great, but it's also necessary to have the proper patio furniture to kick back and enjoy it. Even when it's been dutifully protected from the weather, outdoor furniture can use an upgrade every now and then, and a new seating area like this Hampton Bay Cambridge Brown Wicker Outdoor Patio Loveseat makes a great gift for the dad that seems to have everything. This love seat is less than 5 feet wide, so it can fit even in smaller outdoor spaces, and it comes in a variety of different colors so you can cater your selection to your dad's existing decor and furniture.

From now until the 18th, the store is also marking down their popular Father's Day gift selection, so make sure you hop on the deals if you have anything specific waiting in the cart to secure the lowest price possible.
