Dad is a pretty simple guy. That said, he doesn't really care about all the hoopla surrounding Father's Day. Even if that's true, it's your duty as his son, daughter or partner to make his Father's Day as special as possible — even if you waited until the eleventh hour to start coming up with gift ideas. So, don't waste another minute and shop straight from this list of last-minute Father's Day gifts to ensure he has something to open on Sunday.

Just because you've missed the mark on personalized presents doesn't mean you have to settle for boring clichés (think: leather goods and whiskey stones). A lot of these Father’s Day gift ideas skew more practical than personal, but that’s only because Dad wouldn’t want you spending your hard-earned money on something he wouldn’t really use. There’s smarter-than-Dad (kidding) tech like a smart bird feeder and robotic pool cleaner, along with small-but-mighty gadgets that he can put to use when grilling, traveling or cleaning the car. But if you really want to give Dad a gift that keeps giving, consider signing him up for a monthly subscription to MasterClass (currently on sale for 50% off!), Storyworth or Foot Cardigan (if he loves funky socks as much as the next guy).

With picks ranging in price (as low as $7), shipping times and sentiment, you’re sure to find something for the man you love — whether he’s your own dad, the husband you turned into a father or the grandpa who spoiled you endlessly.

How's his grill brush looking? If he's using a wire one, it's time to swap it for something safer (FYI, loose bristles can get lodged in food) like this firefighter-backed steamer. Just run the brush under water, then fire up the grill and wipe away buildup on the grates. After five to ten uses, pop the sponge in the dishwasher to make it look like new.

At what point do dads become novice bird watchers? I'll never know, but what I do know is that smart bird feeders are one of the most sought-after Father's Day gifts this year. This Amazon favorite takes photos and videos of the winged wonders that make a pit stop, plus it uses AI recognition to identify the exact specifics.

He’ll feel like he’s walking on clouds each and every time he slips on these light-as-a-feather sneakers. One happy shopper raved that they wear the bestselling kicks “twelve hours a day with no pain.” A tip: Several reviewers suggest going up half a size since they run on the smaller side.

Perhaps, the best Father's Day gift you can give is a listening ear. Sign him up for a Storyworth subscription and each week, he'll be prompted to think back to past moments that shaped him, reflect on the present and make predictions about his future.

Because you can certainly teach an old dog new tricks. Even if he’s read every history book imaginable, this monthly subscription will give him an even closer look at America’s past.

Dad’s funny from his head to his toes. Speaking of toes (like what I did there, don’t ya?), get him this monthly sock subscription so they’re appropriately dressed for even the silliest of occasions.

$12 at Amazon

Give the gift of learning this Father's Day. For as little as $5 a month, he can take unlimited online classes taught by experts in their craft. You know what that means, don't you?

Buying something specific to Dad’s hobby is always a bold move, which is why you turn to the pros for guidance.
