Still coming up with nothing for Father's Day this year? Your secret's safe with me. And while you could always go with a fail-safe, dad-approved option like a new piece of tech or an accessory for his grill, I challenge you to think outside the box and opt for any of these personalized Father's Day gifts instead.

And no, I'm not talking about random doodads that'll simply collect dust after the festivities wrap. This list is full of practical picks that just so happen to come with customization options. Think: a luxe leather mousepad debossed with his initials or a pickleball paddle cover to ensure he won't mix his up with someone else's. Of course, picture gifts also make an appearance, but I made sure to find a few unique options that he wouldn't expect (ahem, a pair of socks covered in your face).

There's a gift idea for all the different dads in your life, whether you're in the market for your own dad, father-in-law, grandpa or husband who is celebrating his first Father's Day. Worried that it's a little too late in the game to order a personalized Father's Day gift? Don't be because all of these picks are guaranteed to be delivered to his door by June 16 (as of the publication date). Some of these finds like an annual Storyworth subscription and Tinggly gift voucher can even be sent to his email within minutes if you're really crunched for time. So, either way, I've got you covered with plenty of solid last-minute options!
