Father's Day falls on June 15 this year, and believe it or not, Walmart surprisingly has some great gift finds. It's a solid place to shop if you're on a budget, and they have nearly 5,000 locations across the United States — you most likely have one near you in case you want to shop in person.
To make shopping for Dad a bit easier, we picked out 25 of the best Father's Day gifts from Walmart, ranging from kitchen gifts and tech gifts to travel gifts and more. To source our present selections, we consulted with experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute for standout product testing picks, plus we made sure to spotlight top-rated items, best-sellers and products our readers love.

If Dad is the one who taught you how to play poker, this kit will be a full-circle gift idea. The set includes 300 professional-weight poker chips, one deck of cards, one dealer button, two betting buttons, five poker dice, instructions and a carrying case to keep it all together.

For the dad who's always asking where his wallet is, gift him an Apple AirTag. The quarter-sized device acts as a mini tracker.

Note: AirTags are only compatible with Apple devices, not Androids.
For the serious griller, a wireless meat thermometer is a must. Dad can stick it in the meat of his choice to make sure it's never under- or over-cooked. Best of all, he can monitor the dish's temperature on his phone from indoors in the A/C — a major plus on hot summer days.
