Father’s Day is a bittersweet day for me. It’s a beautiful way to remember my dad who passed, but also celebrate the most wonderful husband and father in our home.
For so many of us, Father’s Day isn’t just our extended family, but time to celebrate many loving men who have shaped our lives. While a gift can’t possibly encompass all these emotions, it’s definitely a way to start!
When choosing something special for the father’s in your life, the most important thing is to consider not just what they would like, but what they would never consider purchasing. I’ve compiled a list of a variety of categories for all personalities, so you’re guaranteed to be inspired.
So without any further introduction, here is my list of 15 Father’s Day gift ideas for the dad in your life! I promise, they will love the thought just as much as the physical gift.
A Sentimental Father’s Day Gift Idea:
COLORING TIE & MARKER SET
This is such a sweet and fun gift idea! This tie comes with fabric markers for an easy, sentimental gift from the kids.
Price: $30
Father’s Day Gift Ideas: Electronics and Gadgets
Something that’s true about almost all men – they LOVE their gadgets! I’ve compiled a list of the top electronics Craig, my brothers, and many of the friends in our life love to use and talk about together. Here are my top picks:
Wireless headphones
Headphones are one of my top recommendations as a gift for anyone because it’s something so many want, but just never buy. We are a Raycon family because they are affordable and work as well as the other brands. Craig has been wanting these for working out!
Price: $99
Raycon Ear Buds
If the father in your life prefers ear buds to headphones, these Raycon ear buds are a great choice. They are wireless, comfortable, and affordable compared to other brands. I can’t recommend them enough.
Price: $119
Heated neck massager
This is the gift that absolutely keeps on giving. With a lot of these gadgets, I sometimes debate if they will actually work or not, but trust me – you both need this! hahah
Price: $49.99
Massage gun
This isn’t the Theragun, but I like this brand just as much! It hurts so good and has a ton of settings and attachments for whatever muscle needs attention. On project days, this is a MUST!
Price: $29.99
GPS Drone
Boy things, am I right?! I think this would be so fun for my older boys to do with Craig. They are loving making videos and this could be a great activity to do with dad! Plus, this would be so fun to use on trips.
Price: $69.99
RECORD PLAYER
We absolutely LOVE music in our home. This record player is a gorgeous mix of functional and aesthetics. Pair with the father in your life’s favorite album – this gift is a winner.
Price: $60
Father’s Day Gift Ideas: Outdoor and Adventure
For the father’s in your life that love the outdoors, there are some really cool gifts out there that double as thoughtful and functional. A quality outdoor item is something that will last them a lifetime, so it’s truly money well spent. Here is my list:
Yeti cooler
If you haven’t seen the Yeti tested amongst other brands, you need to! They keep drinks cold for longer than you’d ever need. Craig loves the outdoors so this smaller size is perfect for day trips. He gives it a 10/10.
Price: $250
One person kayak
We are a water family and can’t imagine life without a lake nearby! If you’re interested in spending more time outside, getting a pair of kayaks is a relaxing and fun date night.
Price: $410
Telescope
This gift has been so fun for our family. Craig and the boys spend a lot of time with our telescope at night. I love incorporating it into our homeschool curriculum, too!
Price: $140
Father’s Day Gift Ideas: Accessories
One of the best gift tips is to buy the men in your life gifts they need / love, but would never actually buy for themselves. Accessories is one of the best ways to tackle this, plus it’s one of the more fun gifts to pick out. Here is my list of picks:
Black and leather duffel bag
Travel accessories of any kind always make an excellent father’s day gift. This duffel specifically can fit anything and makes the perfect carry on or weekender bag.
Price: $100
Rayban sunglasses
A nice pair of sunglasses is always worth the splurge, especially Ray Bans. This style has been around forever and looks good on everyone. Top Gun anyone?!
Price: $180
Father’s Day Gift Ideas: Home-Related
If you’re anything like Craig, there is nothing he loves more than being at-home with our family. Whether it be gifting something that makes the fathers in your life more comfortable or fun, home-related gifts are always a great choice. Here is my list:
Slippers
These are hard bottom moccasins for lounging. I think this is the best gift because men never buy them for themselves, but ALWAYS wear them if they’re in the closet.
Price: $34
GAMES ARE ALWAYS A HIT
Games of any kind are always a hit at our house. Whether if it’s something for two with a date night in mind, or a giant game of Jenga for the whole family – you can’t go wrong. We’ve loved having this to pull out when friends or family come over.
Price: $40
PIZZA OVEN
This outdoor pizza oven has created so many special memories for our family. Build our own pizza night is sure to be a hit with the kids. And seriously – they taste AMAZING. You can make your own dough or pick some up at any store.
Price: $259
Traeger grill
If you have a large budget for this gift – the Traeger is one of our most used items in the whole house. We grill constantly and nothing tastes better than food grilled on the Traeger because it’s a smoker/grill combo! The wood pellets give the BEST taste.
Price: $390
Father’s Day Gift Ideas: Wrap Up
The fathers in our lives do so much everyday to bring families together, so today feels like the perfect day to make them feel special.
