37 Perfect Summer Birthday Gift Ideas
A rechargeable heated ice cream scoop so they won't have to wait for their Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey Ice Cream to soften before *literally* digging in. Not a moment to waste!!! Plus, an ice cream cozy because their cravings for frozen sweet treats grow even more during the summer months. They can use this helpful friend to happily hold onto their favorite pint without freezing their fingers off. A trendy beaded bag that'll have your bestie *~thinkin' pink~* for the rest of the summer as they sling it over their shoulder and brag about it to anyone willing to listen. The best part is it's *just* as cute as the popular (but very pricey) Staud bags you've likely seen out and about. A stress relief coloring book from Coco Wyo (a TikTok famous brand known for creating the most adorable coloring books) featuring big, easy-to-color pictures they'll take one look at and want to scream, "THIS IS SO CUTE!!!!!" right before canceling their evening plans to spend it with their markers instead. Murdle, Volume 1, a compilation of murder mystery–themed logic puzzles that are reminiscent of the ever-popular Wordle game — perfect for cracking open poolside. This version will encourage them to use powers of deduction and various clues to solve the mysteries throughout the book. Sherlock Holmes, who? An Americana-themed tote bag for your pal with a Fourth of July birthday who loves nothing more than embracing a theme. Just watch out for Uncle Sam, because he'll be trying to snag this beauty for himself. A sand-free blanket designed so that sand (or dirt) rolls right off it — because is there anything worse than finding debris in every crevice of your car after lounging at the beach all day? It can fit four adults on it, folds up nice 'n' small, and will become your bestie's go-to for all of their summer hangs. Playful clips that are as practical as they are pretty — they'll hold their towel in place on their chair so they won't have to chase it across the pool deck and can focus on more important things like sipping on a margarita. A palm leaf print satin pajama set with a ruffled hemline on the shorts that'll make them feel put-together even if their only birthday plans include treating themselves to their favorite takeout on the couch, and the only person who will see them wearing them is their mom on FaceTime. An assortment of tomato seed packets that have been designed to look like tarot cards — aka the perfect gift for your friend who has both witchy vibes *and* a green thumb. A "Beverage Buddee" can cover they can add to their Diet Coke can or preferred spiked seltzer. It'll keep bugs and other random debris out of their drink (yuck) so they can enjoy it while you kick back in Adirondack chairs and exchange gossip without concern. An Owala FreeSip water bottle in an exciting color that'll ensure no one ever picks up theirs by mistake while they're chatting up the cute lifeguard at the pool this summer. Not to mention, it's made of triple-layered, vacuum-insulated stainless steel that'll keep their drink cold for 24 hours *and* two ways to drink from it (a spout and a straw!) A neck reading light that's easy on the eyes, simpler to manage than a clip-on light, and a welcome addition to their nightly routine of falling asleep while reading a beachy romance novel. Speaking of romance novels, they'll love this deluxe edition of rom-com genius Emily Henry's Beach Read with endpapers and sprayed edges designed to look like a stunning sunset. Don't get me started on the shimmering, updated cover. Their bookshelf is going to BEG you to add this to their collection. And a personalized book stamp they can use to literally make their mark in the novels they typically loan out to fellow book club buds. A heart-shaped silicone ice cube tray for the summer bb in your life — spruce up their iced coffees and Long Island iced teas with a little love in the form of these cubes. 💕 Or a "float-tea unicorn," aka the reusable tea infuser of their wackiest dreams. When a summer storm rolls in to destroy their plans of lounging by the pool, they can nurse a cozy cup of tea alongside this festive friend until it passes. A JBL portable speaker that's both waterproof *and* dust-proof (incredible) and will help them pump up the jams during their next pool or beach day — it easily clips onto a chair, so no worries about having to physically carry it around. An indoor-outdoor hammock chair with the ability to soothingly rock them to sleep for a nice midday nap or make them feel like they're on vacation, even if they're stuck listening to someone mow their lawn or a neighbor's yappy dog. A funnel cake–inspired milk chocolate truffle bar that'll bring them back to the magic of their childhood, where they spent their summers hanging at the boardwalk, eating too-sweet treats, and riding questionable rollercoasters. A pickleball set to pay homage to their new favorite hobby! It comes with two paddles, four balls, and a bag to ensure they have the best-looking gear of all their competitors. Their nemesis' hot streak is about to be OVER! And a pickleball tote bag with a specific attachment to store paddles, plus ample space for balls and accessories so they can focus on crushing their smack-talking neighbor Steve instead of rummaging through an unorganized duffel. A luggage drink caddy that'll attach to their wheeled luggage on the many summer adventures they've got lined up this season. They can use it to hold their Dunkin' coffee, phone, ID, etc., and prevent them from fumbling around for all those items while heading to the gate at the airport. And a retro-inspired high-cut one-piece to justify a coordinating Instagram grid–worthy photoshoot during your next beach trip together — this suit deserves recognition. A gold-plated station necklace from affordable (and fabulous) jewelry brand Pavoi, whose sole mission seems to be finding a way to glam up all of our looks without having to gobble up all of our dollars. Or a dazzling tennis bracelet no one would guess cost you less than 20 bucks! It's 14-karat gold-plated, has a reliable clasp, and will add the perfect amount of sparkle to their daily stack. Plus a splurge-worthy custom pave nameplate necklace you can personalize with the nickname you've been calling them since you bonded over a hatred for math in seventh grade. A lightweight tinted lip balm with a touch of gloss that'll be perfect for upgrading your bestie's makeup lineup — it'll add some color to their pout but keep it looking au natural. Plus, it's super similar to the viral Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm. Or a trio of ColourPop Lilo & Stitch lip glosses shaped like popsicles (can you EVENNNN?!) that'll provide their pout with a nonsticky, ultra-glossy sheen while also leaving it nice 'n' hydrated and honoring their fave movie. Each one is filled with nourishing elements like hyaluronic acid, Kakadu plum, and sweet cherry oil. Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Hair & Body Perfume Mist, designed to channel the brand's ever-popular Cheirosa 62 but with a more woodsy vibe that's perhaps more fitting to their preference. It has delectable notes of sandalwood and vanilla orchid — so good they'll want to bask in their own scent all day. Or a bottle of Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume you know they'll adore since you were with them when they tried the sample size of YSL's Black Opium at the mall and fell in love with it but didn't have $95 to shell out. Luckily for them (and your wallet), this one is super similar and will leave you with enough money left to *also* treat both of you to lunch. Disney tumbler glasses featuring none other than Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck — they can fill 'em up with iced coffee, lemonade, or whatever other refreshing beverage they prefer to add some extra magic into their summer celebrations. And colorful Mickey Mouse–shaped melamine plates for the Disney Adult in your life who loves hosting outdoor watch parties of the classic '90s flicks (when they're not planning a trip to the parks, obvs). Double-buckle slides to replace the Birkenstocks they've worn so much they can feel the cement with each step they take. These are just as comfortable but come in more playful styles. A Vineyard Vines pullover featuring a super soft terrycloth material they'll want to live in during their entire East Coast summer. How cute is this going to look in their lobster roll selfies?! A luxurious jar of Ouai whipped body cream packed with cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and squalane to help soften their skin while moisturizing it. It'll be a nice upgrade to the likely expired one they've been using for *too* long. And a birthday card featuring a custom Taylor Swift Lego MiniFig any Swiftie and collector will adore — you might just find them plucking her right off the card and singing, "You are the best thing that's ever been mine!"

May this easy-to-maintain tree live longer than Dad's divisive beauty statement. A set of glass spice containers featuring built-in retractable spoons because Dad (and the rest of your family's tastebuds, for that matter) still hasn't recovered from that time he accidentally added salt into his recipe instead of sugar.

Y-U-M. The I Love Trader Joe's Cookbook complete with 150 recipes, all using ingredients Dad can pick up at his beloved supermarket of choice. He can spend the next month cooking up a storm! A neck reading light that'll be easy on the eyes, simpler to manage than a clip-on light, and be a welcomed addition to Dad's nightly routine of falling asleep while reading his book.

A cult-favorite G-Shock watch with over 18K 5-star reviews, sure to "wow" your hard-to-impress Pops — it's super durable (a must for any dad who is hard on, well, everything he owns). It has a bunch of practical features like water resistance, shock resistance, stopwatch, alarms, and world time Dad will surely appreciate. A spooktacular popcorn maker and bowl that'll pair perfectly with his BIG Slasher Summer plans (a.k.a. when he forces the entire household to partake and the horror flicks give everyone nightmares). All he'll have to do is pour kernels into the "skull" and let the microwave do its thing for three minutes. Then, voilà! He'll have eight cups of popcorn to toss all over the couch when Michael Myers once again sneaks up on a precious, unsuspecting teen. An indoor-outdoor hammock chair with the ability to soothingly rock Dad or Grandpa to sleep for a nice midday nap or make him feel like he's on vacation even if the kids are running laps around and screaming simultaneously.

As a bonus gift you can even offer to install it for thoughtful of you! An airplane phone holder your Frequent Flyer Father can clip onto the tray in front of him whenever he travels — no need to *only* choose from the handful of meh movies the airline is showing. It can also be used at home whenever he wants to watch Nonnas, We Live In Time, or whatever other movie your mom has been trying to get him to watch hands-free. A beautiful Haws watering can and mister set because it's about time we acknowledged how serious your dad is about his gardening.

New Balance 990 V6 sneakers for any dad with *~rizz~* and a sense of style — they aren't your stereotypical "Dad shoes," these will turn heads and announce to the world he's not a regular dad; he's a cool dad. A T-shirt with a racetrack on the back, so Dad can lay on the floor of the playroom and have a quick rest while simultaneously entertaining the kids. A win for everyone, if you ask me. On-theme bottle labels you can use to toast to any dad's first Father's Day. Simply apply to them to Dad's favorite bottled beverage, pop 'em in the carrier, and *boom* cutest gift ever. Waterproof playing cards, so he can get a fierce game of Go Fish going without fear of the moment the kids inevitably spill their drink all over the table. A fishing rod rack your happily retired grandpa can attach to the back of the garage door to ensure nothing ~fishy~ happens to his beloved rods. A pre-seasoned Carbon Steel Griddle that'll change Dad's grilling season forever — and extend it throughout the year! This bad boy can be used directly on the grill *and* gas, electric, and induction stovetops. It has sloped sides to prevent grease from escaping *gestures wildly* everywhere (phew, less cleanup) and is, honestly, going to have the entire family begging him to make smash burgers weekly. A pickleball set to pay homage to his new favorite hobby! It comes with two paddles, four balls, and a bag to ensure he has the best-looking gear of all his competitors. Your hot streak is about to be OVER, Mom! And a pickleball tote bag with a specific attachment to store paddles, plus ample space for balls and accessories so he can focus on crushing his smack-talking neighbor Steve instead of rummaging through an unorganized duffel. A pack of Old Fashioned Cocktail Tea Bags so Dear Old Dad can whip up his go-to cocktail, kick back, and relax after dealing with all of you and your siblings' nonsense for the majority of his life. All he'll need to do is steep the bag in cold water and a spirit of his choice (bourbon is recommended, but it can also be made as a mocktail) until the majority of the bag dissolves. Cheers to that! A filtering straw that'll keep any grinds from traveling up, out, and into Dad's mouth. This happened to me recently while sipping on an iced instant coffee... I promptly had to rinse my mouth out. Spare him this unpleasant experience, will ya? Not only will this straw filter out any debris, but he can also use it to brew coffee *directly* into any mug or cup (for cold brew). Genius. A Fellow Aiden Precision Drip Coffee Maker you and your siblings can all contribute to with confidence, knowing it'll blow the very old school carafe Dad has been using to make his coffee for eons out of the water. This one has the same ability to make a big ol' batch like Dad loves to do for the fam, but likely without the risk of starting a fire in the kitchen (seriously, his coffee pot is SO OLD). This one is sleek *and* can also whip up a single pour-over cup, in case Dad feels like being selfish once in a while. Or, Oxo's compact Brew Rapid Brewer that'll have any dad wondering, "Where has this been all of my life?" He can toss it into his work bag and literally make cold brew or hot coffee at his desk after surviving the carpool lane — it doesn't need to be plugged in or charged! A heated eye massager complete with five different massage modes and Bluetooth sound so Dad can fully indulge, relax, and catch up on his favorite podcast while relieving pain from eye strain and headaches. A Saucemoto dip clip, because eating fries while parked in the car just tastes better and Dad shouldn't have to sacrifice his favorite dipping sauce to do so! I can't think of a better lil' gift to give your pal who can often be found eating Chick-fil-A in between driving his kids to and from soccer practice. A 44-piece Mjölnir toolbox your Dad will love if he's the one everyone asks to fix everything — if he's *also* a Marvel fan, he will have an absolute ball reaching for Thor's mighty hammer the next time he has to put together a dresser. A Nintendo Switch OLED with a 7-inch screen, a wide adjustable stand, enhanced audio, and an overall pleasant gaming experience dads will be thrilled to crack open after a day of tending to little minds, working on cars, answering phones, or typing up emails (whatever it is he does for a living in addition to keep his OWN kids alive). Purchase a low-stakes game like Super Mario Bros. Wonder or take a more ambitious approach with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to leave the lingering stressors of his day behind. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom — The Complete Official Guide — an absolute must-have for anyone who has been playing (and loving!) the latest installment of the saga. Even if your partner has already beaten the game, this will get him all kinds of compliments when his pals/fellow gamers spot it on the coffee table. A set of anti-slip glasses holders Dad can count on to *literally* support him throughout the entire day — he won't find himself making that infamously nerdy "pushing-up-my-glasses-because-they're-sliding-down-my-face" move anytime soon. A luggage drink caddy that'll attach to his wheeled luggage — it'll be a saving grace when traveling if your dad likes to be the one in charge of holding onto everyone's passport and boarding passes along with EVERYTHING else. He can use it to hold his Dunkin' coffee, phone, ID, etc., and prevent him from fumbling around for all those items while heading to the gate at the airport, family in tow. And a set of Loop Engage 2 earplugs explicitly designed to mute all kinds of noise, so Dear Old Dad can get what he really wants this holiday: a break. Fear not, though; they won't make him completely soundproof, so, unfortunately for him, he'll still be able to hear you ask him to help you look for the TV remote (that he's sitting on, as per usual).

A Fellow Aiden Precision Drip Coffee Maker you and your siblings can all contribute to with confidence, knowing it'll blow the very old school carafe Dad has been using to make his coffee for eons out of the water. This one has the same ability to make a big ol' batch like Dad loves to do for the fam, but likely without the risk of starting a fire in the kitchen (seriously, his coffee pot is SO OLD). This one is sleek *and* can also whip up a single pour-over cup, in case Dad feels like being selfish once in a while. Or, Oxo's compact Brew Rapid Brewer that'll have any dad wondering, "Where has this been all of my life?" He can toss it into his work bag and literally make cold brew or hot coffee at his desk after surviving the carpool lane — it doesn't need to be plugged in or charged! A heated eye massager complete with five different massage modes and Bluetooth sound so Dad can fully indulge, relax, and catch up on his favorite podcast while relieving pain from eye strain and headaches. A Saucemoto dip clip, because eating fries while parked in the car just tastes better and Dad shouldn't have to sacrifice his favorite dipping sauce to do so! I can't think of a better lil' gift to give your pal who can often be found eating Chick-fil-A in between driving his kids to and from soccer practice. A 44-piece Mjölnir toolbox your Dad will love if he's the one everyone asks to fix everything — if he's *also* a Marvel fan, he will have an absolute ball reaching for Thor's mighty hammer the next time he has to put together a dresser. A Nintendo Switch OLED with a 7-inch screen, a wide adjustable stand, enhanced audio, and an overall pleasant gaming experience dads will be thrilled to crack open after a day of tending to little minds, working on cars, answering phones, or typing up emails (whatever it is he does for a living in addition to keep his OWN kids alive). Purchase a low-stakes game like Super Mario Bros. Wonder or take a more ambitious approach with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to leave the lingering stressors of his day behind. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom — The Complete Official Guide — an absolute must-have for anyone who has been playing (and loving!) the latest installment of the saga. Even if your partner has already beaten the game, this will get him all kinds of compliments when his pals/fellow gamers spot it on the coffee table. A set of anti-slip glasses holders Dad can count on to *literally* support him throughout the entire day — he won't find himself making that infamously nerdy "pushing-up-my-glasses-because-they're-sliding-down-my-face" move anytime soon. A luggage drink caddy that'll attach to his wheeled luggage — it'll be a saving grace when traveling if your dad likes to be the one in charge of holding onto everyone's passport and boarding passes along with EVERYTHING else. He can use it to hold his Dunkin' coffee, phone, ID, etc., and prevent him from fumbling around for all those items while heading to the gate at the airport, family in tow. And a set of Loop Engage 2 earplugs explicitly designed to mute all kinds of noise, so Dear Old Dad can get what he really wants this holiday: a break. Fear not, though; they won't make him completely soundproof, so, unfortunately for him, he'll still be able to hear you ask him to help you look for the TV remote (that he's sitting on, as per usual).
