You want to celebrate Dad but are watching your budget. That’s okay. Your father won’t care how much you spend. In fact, he probably won’t even care if he receives a gift as long as he knows you’re thinking of him.
Still, if you want to present him with something, Amazon has some pretty sweet deals for $25 or less. Here are 10 of them.
1. “Yoda Best Dad” t-shirt
If your father is a huge Star Wars fan, he’ll likely get a kick out of this “Yoda Best Dad” t-shirt. Available in nine colors, it features the legendary Jedi Master himself, lightsaber in hand. Let your father know that everything he’s done for you — from taking out a mortgage to sitting through school programs — makes him your hero.
2. Whiskey glass “sippy cup”
If Dad’s favorite thing to sip is whiskey, this glass is sure to make him smile. The 12-ounce glass has the words “Daddy’s Sippy Cup” printed on the front.
3. Stainless steel keychain
This keychain consists of a ring and two metal tags, one slightly larger than the other. On the larger tag, the seller will print a photo of your father (with whomever you choose), and on the other, you can add a message. Personalization is free.
Amazon price: $13.99, plus 10% off digital coupon
4. Burt’s Bees gift tin
It’s not just mothers who like to pamper themselves. This tin includes the classics: Original beeswax lip balm, cuticle cream, hand salve, Res-Q ointment, hand repair cream, and foot cream.
5. Personalized leather wallet
This wallet presents another opportunity to personalize a gift for Dad. The seller will engrave a photo and text on the wallet, both provided by you. For the best results, the seller asks that you provide a high-definition photo if possible.
Amazon price: $21.99, plus 10% off digital coupon
6. Ball cap for brand new dads
This washed cotton, adjustable baseball cap reads “Dad Est. 2023.” It’s a nice way for the new father in your life to tell the world that he’s joined the Dad club. Available in black with white 3D stitching.
Amazon price: $15.99, plus 10% off digital coupon
7. Step dad bracelet
The special stepfather in your life is sure to be touched by this men’s bracelet, made of 8mm natural tiger eye stone and black agate. It comes with a card that says it all: “Stepdad. Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad. Thank you for loving me as your own. Thank you for being my dad. You didn’t have to be.”
Who knows? Next time your stepfather has to pull out a credit card to cover the cost of something you need, he might just remember how much you care about him.
8. Multi-tool pen
The gift may be for your father, but anyone would be thrilled to receive this multi-functional instrument. It comes in two colors and includes:
- Ballpoint pen
- Stylus
- Flat-head screwdriver

9. Stainless steel guitar picks for step dad
If your stepfather is a musician, we can’t think of anything he’d like more than this guitar pick. Made of stainless steel, you don’t have to worry about it fading or rusting. Engraved on the pick are the following words: “I couldn’t pick a better Step Dad.”
10. Super hero t-shirt
We’re all familiar with the Batman logo. This shirt features the same shape, but instead of the word “BATMAN,” it says “DADMAN.” This is the perfect gift for the father who’s still a kid at heart.
Amazon price: Starting at $17.88
It’s rarely easy to find exactly what you want for your father, but as these gifts show, you don’t have to drain your bank account to remind Dad that he’s important to you.
