Do you know what to get your dad for Father’s Day? Well, it’s just around the corner, so the time to brainstorm is now! Dads seem to have it all. Most of the time when they want something, they just go out and buy it. Maybe patience isn’t always their strong suit? It can be quite difficult to find a unique gift, it’s true. But, when it comes to dads, there’s always something new to discover about them, and those discoveries can lead to great Father’s Day gift ideas.
Gift ideas for the sports dad
Does the dad in your life love sports? Cheering for the winning touchdown? Is he constantly trying to prove his basketball skills? Maybe trying to keep up with your kids on the soccer field? If any of these sound like the dad in your life, here are some gift ideas that might fit the bill.
New sports equipment – For loving dads all sports, find something new that isn’t already playing. Even if you’re not sure he’ll enjoy it, if your dad loves all things sports, he’ll be excited to learn the art of a new game.
Upgraded or limited edition sports gear – If your dad is particularly into his sports, look for something unique to add to his current collection. Whether it’s the latest golf club, a team jersey he’s been eyeing, or a new basketball hoop for the street, he’ll appreciate an upgrade to his current gear or something that challenges his skills.
Tickets for a game – Another super gift idea for a sports dad is tickets to an actual sporting event! Whether you live near a stadium or take a road trip from it, attending a game as a family would be a Father’s Day gift that will be long remembered. If you live some distance away, you could really surprise him by taking a trip there and treating him to a hometown game, whether it’s to see a pro team or the local favorite.
Gifts for the Musician
For dads who can’t stop singing, dancing, rocking guitars or playing old records, a musical gift is an option to explore.
A shiny new instrument – Whether he already has a variety of instruments or not, a new one makes a great gift. You can stick to the same instrument class or introduce him to something new. A musician loves a challenge! If your dad has a special love for an instrument he already owns, your gift can be a trip to the music store to tune it, clean it, add new strings – whatever it takes.
Speaking of strings, if your dad is a string player, he’ll really appreciate a nail hardener. Guitar and banjo players usually need to grow their nails to play the instrument well, and if those nails are weak, they break. What a hassle! Add this Powerful Botanical Nail Strengthener to your Father’s Day gift. He’ll be thrilled with his healthy, strong nails that step up his game!
Audio equipment – If your dad is a session musician, upgrade his sound equipment. Or, if he doesn’t play an instrument but likes to listen to music, buy him a new sound system or upgrade his current system. Bluetooth speakers that can be installed around the house make a great gift set. Here are some selections from Best Buy. Another gift idea? A record player and a set of his favorite records.
Create a playlist – A great gift doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Create a playlist for your dad that combines music he likes with music he may not have heard yet that he would like to. Throw in old favorites he hasn’t heard in a while and throw in some new stuff that follows the same beat. This would be something special that he could keep forever and every time he plays it he would think of you!
Gift ideas for dads with tools
If your dad is a handyman or woodworker, what would he love more than a new tool? At first glance around his garage or workshop, it might seem like he already has every tool known to man, but there’s always one he’s paying attention to. You can count on it.
New tools – There’s a new time-saving tool for almost any home improvement project on your list. After doing some stealth research in his garage or among his friends, check this out gift guide from Stanley. You may find just the tool missing from your dad’s workspace.
Save – Dads always need more storage. Give a man a toolbox, he’ll fill it in minutes. Give a man a shed, he will organize it in a few days.
If your dad needs a toolbox, there are various sizes available. Younger people like it those on Amazon they’re easy to transport and perfect for a handyman dad that all the neighbors call when something goes wrong. If you need something bigger, check out these tool boxes on Amazon. They are often on wheels so they are easy to move around the garage or shed and are designed with multiple compartments for organized storage. Thinking even bigger? Consider getting your dad a shed. Checkout these options from Home Depot. If he has room to add a shed to his yard, this will be a very memorable gift.
If your dad is constantly working with tools or discovering new woodworking projects, it would be helpful to include a nail strengthening oil or moisturizing oil with this Father’s Day gift. He may not want to admit it, but carpentry leads to a lot of broken nails and dry, cracked skin. This nail strengthener by Nail Magic is super easy to apply. In addition, the Thai Essence hand & skin oil will help his skin and nails feel like new after just one use.
Take Dad out for Father’s Day
Another very special Father’s Day gift is quality time together. Take your dad out to lunch, treat him to an ice cream cone, or go on a hike together. Or, join him in one of his hobbies. If he likes to play golf, go play with him. If your dad likes to build things, build a birdhouse together.
No matter what you get your dad for Father’s Day or how you spend time together, be sure to tell him how much he means to you. Remind him of what he has taught you and how often he makes you laugh. It’s easy to lose touch as we go about our daily lives, and Father’s Day offers a great opportunity to create a new and lasting memory with your dad. Grab it!
