Is it just me or are Father’s Day gifts getting better? My inaugural Father’s Day gift guide was in 2010, and I had to dig deep to find things beyond socks and “#1 Dad” tees. Those traditional gifts are still around but I am blown away by all the options now! Things like CBD gummies, alcohol-free “spirits,” and unique personalized gifts are really mixing it up this year. Here are my top picks for Father’s Day gifts on a budget.

This Korean American mother-daughter-powered coffee brand has assembled four delicious varieties of organic and fair trade coffee beans, including Downtown Blend, Peru, Indonesia, and a surprise medium roast blend. The bundle also includes a cute mug.

The frameless prints are available in a variety of sizes and finishes and have an elegant, modern feel. They can be displayed on his desk, on a mantle, or on a floating shelf.
The Free Spirits Trifecta Bundle ($99, value $111 at DrinkFreeSpirits.com): Just because he doesn’t drink, doesn’t mean he has to miss out on the joys of mixology!
