Father’s Day Gift Guide: Gift Ideas for Every Type of Dad

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for father’s day, you’ve come to the right place. I love gifts that are just for dad, but it’s always nice to buy something that everyone will enjoy. I bought a bocce ball set for my husband for his first father’s day. It seemed like a special gift for a new dad since it was something he could do with our children someday. I think the girls are finally old enough that we can all play together this year. 

My husband and I love experience gifts, but our kids really like to give gifts. Consider a gourmet cooking class or a wine tasting session can create lasting memories and offer a new skill or appreciation. For the adventurous dad, a weekend getaway or an outdoor adventure like zip-lining or fishing could be exhilarating. Or go for practical and make a big purchase for the house. A few years ago, we bought new patio furniture for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. the best gifts for dads. See more favorites in my shop.

 

 

 

Father’s Day Gift Guide

Photo Book

I’m going to go ahead and call this the most thoughtful gift for all types of dads. Make him a photo album of the last year and add a special message to each page. I make one of these books at the end of every year and each of our kids have one for their first year. They’re beautiful, easy to make, well made, and we love looking at them. 

 

Linen Shirt

The perfect gift for every type of dad. This shirt is  timeless classic that he’ll use all season, and the best part? It can be monogrammed. 

 

Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Give dad the gift of music at every event. My husband uses his portable speaker all season long – when grilling, relaxing outside, or entertaining. It’s the best.

 

Theragun: 

If you’re looking for Father’s Day gift ideas for the dad who loves to work out, or the one who’s back and neck are always sore, this is it. I just bought one of these and in hindsight, should have gotten it for my husband for father’s day. We both use it and love it. It really works!

 

Pickleball Set

Bring the fun of this fast-growing sport to your own backyard with this set designed for four players. 

 

Duffle Bag

The perfect bag for the gym or travel. 

 

Pajamas

A great option for the dad who has everything, because I can’t imagine anyone not loving these. LAKE Pajamas are worth the hype – they’re soft, look great, and I love the colors and prints. So get some shorts and a tee for dad. He will love them. 

 

Shorts

Nothing beats a great pair of shorts that look good, feel good, and can be worn working out or when running around with the kids. 

 

Smoker

I married a man who grills but hasn’t gotten into smoking. But this seems like the perfect way to get someone into smoking meats? Hint hint? Already have s smoker or grill? Consider a meat thermometer or some new grilling tools. 

 

Leather Backgammon Set

This is a great gift that’s nice to have on-hand when entertaining couples. And it’s a nice way to spend a night together with a glass of wine. And bonus: it’s beautiful enough to leave out. 

 

Cooler

What dad wouldn’t want a cooler for the beach, yard, or sports games? Great for road trips, too.

 

Bean Bag Toss

This is such a good gift would be so fun for backyard parties. And the start of summer is the perfect time of year for this one. 

 

Blender

Buy him a blender beautiful enough that you’ll want to leave it on the counter and powerful enough to make the best smoothies. My husband makes smoothies and protein shakes after he works out, as many do, so this is another practical meets aesthetically pleasing gift. 

 

Pizza Oven

A unique gift for the dad who loves pizza. We don’t have this (yet) but I really want to get one. It looks amazing, and my friend (who is quite the chef) highly recommends it.

 

A Man and His Watch

I love this book. It’s a classic, beautiful on a coffee table or bedside. 

 

Shiatsu Foot Massager

My husband rolled his eyes so hard at this. And then he tried it and he now uses it more often than I do. Chasing kids is hard work and this will help dad relax at the end of the day. 

 

Putting Green

The perfect present for the dad who loves to golf. 

 

Lowball Glasses

A great gift for the dad who needs a drink
