Not every Father’s Day gift needs to be sentimental (or a ton of money). Sometimes, the best gift is practical and something that actually gets used. If you’re not the “sappy card and golf mug” type, there’s nothing wrong with showing up with a gift that’s built to last or at least earns a spot in the garage. And for $50 or less, Home Depot’s got plenty of solid options that won’t collect dust in a closet.
From tough gear and clever tools to low-maintenance home upgrades, these finds are all about usefulness, with a little fun and personality thrown in. Whether you’re shopping for a dad, grandad or husband, these under-$50 picks hit that sweet spot of thoughtful and functional.
Also here are a few insider secrets that may help you shop more efficiently for father’s day.
