23 Last-Minute Father’s Day Gift Ideas and Deals (2019)

So you forgot that Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 16. You have two options: First, you can cross your fingers and hope that your dad has forgotten it, much in the same way he forgot to give the dog its heartworm medication for the past six months. Or you can relax and realize that you’re not alone in waiting until the last possible minute to get your dad a meaningful gift. We already put together a lovely Father’s Day Gift Guide, but since time is running out, we also cruised the web for steals on some of our favorite gear that will show the father figure in your life that he’s one of your favorite people.

Updated June 15, 2019: We removed a deal that was sold out and added several new picks.

The 2019 Kindle is $20 Off

Amazon

This year’s all-new Kindle is the best affordable e-reader on the market. It has most of the bells and whistles that made the old Paperwhite so appealing, like LED front lights. It’s also Bluetooth-enabled and can stream Audible books. If your dad doesn’t already have a Kindle, now is a great time to get him one.

The 2019 Amazon Kindle costs $70 ($20 off)

More Fantastic Dad Gifts

Patagonia

Patagonia Better Sweater Vest for $69 ($30 off): A good dad is an even better dad when swathed in comfortable, moisture-wicking polyester that simultaneously allows him to keep his arms free and mobile to help you install your sprinkler system.
TCL 55-Inch 6-Series LED 4K Roku TV for $500 ($100 off): The 49-inch TCL Roku TV is our favorite budget TV pick. This 6 Series model has a much better picture. Best Buy also sells a 75-Inch version for $1,300 ($500 off), which is a pretty great price for massive display.
Roka Square Aviators for $100 ($25 off): Use code FD19 at checkout for a pair of light sport aviators that won’t slide off your sweaty dad’s face. They’re also available on Amazon at a discount.
HP Omen 15T Laptop for $770 ($220 off): This is a pretty good price for a decent gaming laptop with a ninth-generation Intel core processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card.
Sony WH1000XM3 Wireless Headphones for $298 ($52 off): These are the best wireless headphones and best noise-canceling headphones we’ve tried. They sound amazing and get outstanding battery life. Their only weak point is taking phone calls.
Echo Show + Smart Light + Echo Dot for $180 ($115 off): This is a great price on a smart-home starter set.
GoPro Hero7 Black for $330 ($70 off): If Dad would get a kick out of action videos of his hikes or trips, this is a good discount on one of the best action cams. Read our full review to learn more.
Apple Watch Series 3 for $199 ($80 off): The Series 3 fell off our list of best fitness trackers this year, but it’s still a great watch if you don’t need to take an ECG. The deal is also at Amazon. The new Apple watch Series 4 is $50 off at Best Buy right now.
Fitbit Charge 3 for $120 ($30 off): We liked the Charge 3, and so do many dads who appreciate its stripped-down styling.
Mr. Coffee Espresso and Latte Machine for $230 ($26 off): It looks like our favorite espresso machine is cheaper, just in time for the holiday. Its less fancy sibling is discounted as well ($160, or $40 off).
JBL Studio 580 Floor Standing Speaker for $330 ($470 off): JBL’s standing speaker has two woofer cones and is compatible with the rest of JBL’s Studio 5 speaker series.

Ring

Ring Stick Up Security Cam for $150 ($30 off): We loved how the battery version of this home security camera was easy to install and wire-free.
AncestryDNA Test for $59 ($40 off): Our feelings on DNA kits might be a little mixed, but parents who are interested in genealogical research really like them! It’s discounted on Amazon, too. If your parent may be more interested in learning small tidbits about their health, 23andMe is a better test. 23andMe is $149 at Amazon ($50 off).
Google Nest Thermostat E for $139 ($30 off): If your dad would love a smaller, slimmer, cheaper version of the Google Nest thermostat that learns what temperatures you like, he can have one now.
~~Woolrich Sherpa Blanket for $95 ($64 off):~~ Every dad needs a blanket, whether for impromptu picnics or to keep in his car in case of emergencies.
DMOS Packable Shovel for $125 ($15 off): Speaking of things to keep in the car, this aircraft-grade aluminum shovel will help Dad dig his car out of the biggest snowbank or muddiest pit. Amazon also carries this shovel, though it isn’t discounted.
GoRuck Echo Backpack for $195 ($100 off): GoRuck is discontinuing the Echo, which is the smaller version of its popular GR1.
Moto G7 for $270 ($30 off): The phone that we elected as the best Android phone for $300 or less is now an additional $30 off. It works on all four major wireless networks in the U.S.
Sony Playstation Classic for $30 ($30 off): A retro console is the perfect dad gift.
