Buying for Dad is no doubt one of the trickiest tasks of gift-buying! I did a little research this year and really tried to find some great goodies & even got Charles to weigh in a bit on some of these to make sure they’re guy-approved!
PS – Read on at the bottom for my when-all-else-fails gift ideas.
1. Barrington Gifts Key Fob $35 – I love that you can add his initials and this Chapman Key Fob also has a twist-action mechanism that allows you to add or take off keys with no problem.
2. Chromecast $36 at Amazon – This little gadget basically lets you turn your regular TV into a smart TV. You can stream netflix or other apps from your phone or tablet straight to your TV. Perfect quick fix if he’s been wanting to upgrade the mancave TV! (If he already has Apple TV or Roku then he won’t need this, I think.)
3. Grid-It Organizer $12 at Amazon – Perfect for the on-the-go dad with lots of gadgets. This little organizer board lets you quickly stash all your must-have items like phone chargers or headphones. It comes in a few colors and you can pop it right into your laptop bag or carryon!
4. Nautical Coasters $29 – I thought these would be cute on his desk or next to his favorite chair in the living room!
5. Gucci Guilty Pour Homme $58 – A new bottle of cologne is a classic gift choice, and you really can’t go wrong with Gucci. Take if from the almost 2,000 “loves” on Sephora and perfect 5 star review to know this is a scent almost everyone loves.
6. Funny & Cute Cards on Etsy $3 – 5 – Lately I’ve been stocking up on cards at Etsy because you can find ones more personalized, like if it’s his first Father’s Day or a special Father’s Day, etc. You’ll spend about the same amount as if you walked into a pharmacy to buy one, so you might as well support an artist and get something a little more special! If you can find a vendor you like, go ahead and get a few for upcoming birthdays and other occasions too! You’ll feel super organized and won’t be scrambling at the last minute to find one!
7. Fave team + personalized Apron! $30 – I love this fun apron for grilling out this summer! Pick his favorite team and then add in his initials or name for an extra $9. Order by 6.16!
8. Leather Money Clip $65 – This money clip is the perfect gift if he’s been due for a new wallet. There are 4 leathers to choose from and you can add his initials if you want to make it a little more personalized. Order soon – by June 10 for definite delivery.
9. Wood Watches by Jord $190 – These wooden watches were too cool to not include! Any dad who loves woodworking (like mine) or woodsy stuff would probably agree that this is super cool. There are several different types of wood and different styles to choose from at woodwatches.com.
When all else fails …
I’ve never seen a dad turn down a gift card to Lowe’s or Home Depot. // Check his Amazon wish list! // Tickets to his favorite game with you will always be a winner. // A nice hardback book on any topic he loves would be a great gift for a little summer reading. // Baking his favorite treat would probably be a huge hit!
You’ve got 13 days until Father’s Day so there’s a little time! :)
Good luck! Thank you for stopping by today! xo
