Dads can be notoriously tough to shop for. And they rarely dole out lists or clues as to what they may need or want.

If you aren't sure what to get Dad this year, you've found the right gift guide. We've put together a list of presents all dads will love, from sleek leather goods and high-tech cooking gadgets to an on-demand massage service and a cookbook that'll let him recreate the famous Shake Shack burger at home. We even threw in a "Star Wars" Lego set to delight his inner child for good measure.

This list includes a Sponsored Product that has been suggested by Under Armour. It also meets our editorial criteria in terms of quality and value.*

Here are 58 thoughtful gifts for dad:

A heated massager to melt the day away

Soothe is currently available to book in 66 cities in the US and Canada. If you're not sure what amount to choose for a gift card, Soothe says the average cost for a one-time, 60-minute massage is $115, but price varies by location, with cities like New York charging up to $182 for that treatment. Soothe also offers subscriptions if you really want to pamper him this year.

*Due to the novel coronavirus, gift cards are unable to be used for massages, although they can be applied to Soothe's apparel and equipment.
