Your in-laws undoubtedly mean the world to you. After all, they created your favorite person! It makes sense that you want to be in their good graces, and Father's Day is the perfect time to show your father-in-law you care. But if buying gifts for your dad is hard, finding a gift for your spouse's dad is ten times more difficult. If you've known him for a while, you want something that says you really know him. It's even harder is if you're new to the family and want to make a good impression.

Luckily, this roundup of the best gifts for fathers-in-law is full of unique and thoughtful picks that are sure to impress him. (You never know, they might also inspire a gift for your mother-in-law, too!) Food lover finds, personalized accessories, and useful kitchen gifts are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the wonderful gifts for men who have it all. Of course, there's punny picks as well like hilarious Father's Day shirts. And if you're looking for something sentimental, look no further than a beautiful pocket watch engraved with the words: "Thank you for loving me as your own."

No matter how long you've known your father-in-law, you can feel confident that he's going to love these finds. The same sentiment is true of any gifts for a daughter-in-law or gifts for a son-in-law. Just take your pick and wrap it up with lots of love!

Perhaps your self-described golf pro has just about everything, but we bet he doesn't have a custom bobblehead! You submit a picture of him and then choose eye, hair, and skin color to personalize him to a tee.

If all else fails, at least he'll know you both have a sense of humor when he sips his morning coffee. This affordable find is dishwasher and microwave safe, so he can use it all the time.

For a man who is serious about grilling meat, this is the smartest pick you can find―literally! It's a wireless smart thermometer that he can control from an app on his phone. No more needless hovering over the grill ever again!

Maintenance is a must for a bearded guy. Get him a custom gift set! It comes with beard oil, a bar of soap, and a tin of beard wax in several different scent options.

This set of six coasters is useful and funny, especially if he's a fan of '80s music. Each has a funny line of mistaken lyrics like "rock the cat spa" and "I want a new truck."

He'll be able to identify more than 1,500 stars thanks to this small, easily portable device. He'll just choose the adapter for his latitude, rotate the time/date selector then look through the lens to discover a star map aligned with the actual night sky. Talk about a present that's out of this world!

This one-of-a-kind detailed portrait will delight him anytime he sees it hanging. You can send the artist a photo of the house your father-in-law currently lives in or even your partner's childhood home. He'll love it either way!

He might not want a bouquet of flowers, but he'll definitely want this bouquet of beef jerky! Choose from an eight stem or full dozen option then pick his favorite flavor: original, teriyaki, hot or mixed. The meats even come arranged in a stylish pint glass "vase."

No matter how well you know your father-in-law's taste, this gift is a sure win. The sleek design makes it an attractive piece for a bedside table or desk, plus it is touch-controlled.

For a truly personalized gift, get him a Bespoke Post subscription box. Each one comes with a customized mix of unique products centered around a specific theme. All he has to do is take a quiz to share his likes (and dislikes) and Bespoke Post will find his first box.

If he doesn't already have a convenient way to keep his favorite beverages cool when heading to a backyard barbecue or spending a day at the lake, he's sure to appreciate this durable cooler that can swing over his shoulder and fit up to 11 cans or 10 pounds of ice.

He'll fall in the love this gift hook, line, and sinker! This surprise set comes with a variety of five to six items like baits, jigs, accessories, and more for him to use out on the water.

A framed fender guitar patent poster will definitely make you a favorite child-in-law (if not the favorite child overall). Choose your poster color and size, and the seller will frame it for you!

This book will take him on a visual tour of the world with hundreds of images of the most awe-inspiring destinations. It'll definitely create some wanderlust, so it includes practical information should he decide to plan his next trip.

A father-in-law is one of the most important father figures in your life. While the joke on this shirt is hilarious, it also shows how close your relationship is, knowing he'll appreciate it.

It's never a bad idea to get him a super useful gift! Anker's portable charger is extremely lightweight and easily fits in a pocket, backpack, or briefcase and it carries three phone charges.

Any cocktail lover will have so much fun with this subscription. Each month Shaker & Spoon sends out a box with all the ingredients for bar-quality cocktails. The best part is you can skip or cancel at any time, so he doesn't have to commit to a drink he doesn't like!

There's a lot to love about this little portable fireplace. He can use it to create a cozy ambiance, toast homemade s'mores, or even tell scary stories to the little ones.

Bond with your father-in-law over the best new books or favorite classics. A kindle will allow him to bring his library everywhere, and the built-in front light lets him read anywhere.

Stetson is known for heritage cowboy hats that are built for the elements. This dapper outdoor hat can be dressed up or down, whether he's hiking, fishing, or going to a dinner party.
