ByAriel SandlerMay 13, 2022 | 6 comments

Father's Day is one holiday when we're like, "give us all the gift ideas!" and even then, sometimes we just can't decide on the right gifts for dad. Suddenly it's a few days before Father's Day (how did that happen?) and we're scrambling to get our hands on a thoughtful gift. Fast. This list is short and sweet and filled with options. Examples include a meat subscription that makes for the best possible grilling experience, a gadget club that sends not just one, but ongoing shipments of cool gear, and, of course, gift cards for some really exciting boxes.

Not in much of a rush after all? There are even more gift ideas in our best subscription box gift ideas for Father’s Day list, our article featuring the gifts the MSA team is picking up for their pops', and our list of best subscription boxes for men.

Ariel is adjusting to dad life after recently welcoming a daughter into the world. Before fatherhood (and, hopefully, still during), he enjoyed exercising, craft beer and coffee brands, and discovering new gadget and fashion trends. He's excited to join MSA because nothing is better than learning more about these passions than with a knock and a box at your door.

Comments are from a year ago. Is this just being reposted, or can we trust that it’s been updated?

Does anyone sub to Gadget Discovery Club and if so can you please tell me what you received in your last couple of boxes? Is this high tech brands or random crappy brands? Thanks

I went looking for reviews. All I found were reviews of the mini speaker (mostly positive), and a portable blender, Smoovii. There were a lot of comments on customer service, either 5 star or 1 star (product not received; coming from China). I’d do more research before signing up!

I don’t subscribe, but everything is designed by Gadget Discovery Club. I believe that it’s the only brand you’ll receive.
