Upgrade something he uses every day
The most successful gifts for dads are usually better versions of everyday things: a proper coffee setup if he is particular about his morning cup, a decent wallet to replace the one held together by habit, good headphones for the commute, or a reliable torch for the garage.
Everyday upgrades get used immediately and often, which is what makes them feel worth it long after Christmas.
Follow his hobby, not the stereotype
Gift guides for dads lean heavily on barbecues and golf, but your dad might be into cooking, cycling, music, gaming, history books or growing tomatoes. Whatever he spends his free hours on is the right place to start.
If his hobby has kit, a quality accessory or a consumable he goes through quickly is usually safer than trying to replace a main piece of equipment he chose himself.
When he genuinely has everything
Some dads really do have everything they need. That is where good food and drink, a book by an author he already likes, or something that makes an existing routine more pleasant come into their own.
Experiences work well here too: a match, a gig, a distillery tour or a day out doing something he has mentioned more than once.
Keep it practical if that is who he is
Not every gift needs to be a surprise. For a practical dad, a well chosen tool, a better set of kitchen knives or a sturdy piece of outdoor gear is exactly the right present, and he will think of you every time he uses it.
If you are unsure between two options, pick the one he is more likely to use next week.
