Your parents might say to you every year that they don't need a gift for Mother's or Father's Day. Chances are, you still want to get them a gift for everything they do for you, even if it's something simple.
For Father's Day this year, you don't have to spend more than $25 to show your dad you're thinking of him and appreciate all that he does. Fresh herbs he doesn't have to babysit, a gourmet hot sauce, and pampering grooming products are all gifts that he'll use all the time — that and won't break the bank.
The 23 best Father's Day gifts under $25 in 2022:
A non-fussy phone charger
Gift the Anker Wireless Charging Stand, $19.99, available at Amazon
Best for: Dads who appreciate convenience
When he uses this wireless charger, he can drop his phone (phone case and all) onto it and let it charge by touch.
A Wi-Fi range extender to prevent any pesky service disruptions
Gift the TP-Link AC750 WiFi Range Extender, $24.99, available at Amazon
Best for: Dads who hate Wi-Fi outages
Wi-Fi signals sometimes fail to reach every corner of your home, and if the whole family is at home, that can be frustrating and challenging. The TP-Link AC750 WiFi Extender can plug into most common outlets to cover up to 1,500 square feet in Dad's home.
After he hits the WPS button on the home router, he'll have to hit the range extender on the TP-Link device. After that, he'll be able to get dual-band speeds of up to 750 Mbps in otherwise difficult-to-reach areas in his home.
A truly unique hot sauce
Gift The Bronx Greenmarket Hot Sauce (Green, 5 oz), $5.39, available at Amazon

A card game that'll become his new favorite
Gift the Exploding Kittens Card Game, $19.99, available at Amazon
Best for: Dads who live for game night
If he's a kid at heart who loves kittens, explosions, and laser beams, then he'll love the cult-favorite, Kickstarter sensation of Exploding Kittens. Buying this gift is almost like a gift to yourself since he'll need to enlist multiple players to enjoy the game.
A movie-themed cookbook
