Now that Mother’s Day has passed, it’s time to start thinking about the next parent-focused holiday: Father’s Day. Ringing in on June 18 this year, anyone who celebrates the occasion might be starting to think about how they’d like to show their dad they care.

We all know that time flies—especially when it’s a countdown to an occasion that requires gift-giving—so we thought we’d try to make shopping for the dads in our lives a little easier this year. Whether he’s always tinkering around in his garden, is known for having a stocked bar, or loves any opportunity to fire up the grill, here are 12 of our favorite products to make every dad feel loved.
