Father’s Day is rolling around and so I put together some ideas! I know we tend to see the same ol’ same ol’, but sometimes classics are just that for a reason! For instance, maybe the Dad you’re shopping for already has an insulated tumbler but could use one with his alma mater? Or his button down stash could use a refresh with a performance material option? And who doesn’t need a great cooler? But I also put together 10 ideas that might be a little different, in the hopes that between these recommendations, inspiration strikes for that perfect thing! Happy hunting, and here’s to the dad’s in the world who make life better and brighter!
- Southern Tide Performance Shirts – these are some of Curtis’s absolute favorite, and bonus points because they have college options! He also loves their button downs, especially because they offer moisture wicking technology and UPF protection.
- Insulated Cups – Bonus points if they sport some team spirit like this one or we love our slim can cooler, perfect for the Dad that enjoys a seltzer now and then!
- Backpack Cooler – Curtis uses his backpack cooler for our beach days and road trips!
- Headlamp or LED Flashlight – I don’t know if it is just my husband, but he is obsessed with any chance to wear a headlamp or break out a flashlight, and these are his favorites.
- Lighter – Sure to be a hit, this butane lighter is impressive and is essentially a windproof lighter.
- Grilling Accessories – This BBQ Prep Tray Set looks like a must for any grilling enthusiast!
- SWIMS Loafers – These shoes look like loafers but can be fully submerged in water! They’re perfect by the pool, beach or on the boat.
- Summer Swimsuits – This is the perfect time to get new swim trunks for Dad, and maybe even some matching ones for the littles too! Lilly Pulitzer has some great options!
- Picture Frame – Burlwood is such a classic option for a picture frame, like this one, and pop a sweet photo of the little ones and it is a lovely sentimental gift.
- Glasses – Curtis adds to his rocks glass collection bit by bit, and each one is a little different. He loves a lot of the more simple cut crystal styles like this set of 4 for $80.
A little bit different …
- Tavour Craft Beer Box – Sourced from independent breweries around the country, get the beer loving dad in your life something a little different. Build your own delivery, or pick one of their gift boxes! We got to test drive this when they sent a box our way and Curtis has had so much fun trying different beers with his Dad. Use code Grace10 to save 10$ on your first order of $25 or more.
- You Are Beautiful Forever And Always – An instant classic, I love this book about a father and his daughter and his message that he hopes she’ll know her beauty and worth, through his eyes, “forever and always”.
- Drone – I am quite sure Curtis would have a field day with this one! The more gadgets, the better right?
- Master Class – Whatever the Dad your shopping for wants to learn more about is at his fingertips with a monthly membership to Master Class. Cooking, dancing, business, history, acting – the sky is the limit!
- Noise Canceling Headphones – Such a practical gift for all who are working from home especially! But Curtis actually got these for flying back when he was out of town each week! Highly recommend!
- Fancy Food – You can order delivery from all over the US thanks to Goldbelly. We received some incredible pizzas, thanks to our friends, from a spot called Emmy Squared out of Detroit and it was such a treat. There are other cuisines, maybe even your Dad’s favorite restaurant, that would be a welcome surprise to show up!
- Remote Control Cars – I feel like these would be great for some father/child bonding time!
- Experience – Sometimes the best gift we can give is the gift of time. Whether it is setting up an experience for just him, or with you, the kids, even with his friends, surely there is something fun you can book like an interactive bartending class!
- Lessons – In a similar spirit, if he’s been talking about working on his swing or picking up a new sport all together, why not purchase some lessons!
- Cocktail Smoker Box – Whether he wants to use it for cocktails or food, this new smoker box can infuse anything with a savory, smokey flavor!
