8 Father’s Day Gift Ideas For Every Kind Of Dad That Aren’t Just a “World’s Best Father” Mug or Tie
Your dad may talk a big game and say that he doesn’t want anything special for Father’s Day, but you know better. After all, he taught you to always celebrate the people who matter most to you — whether they like it or not. And if there’s a moment to pull out all the stops for the guy you’ve always looked up to, it’s Father’s Day.
But finding a great gift for your dad is no easy feat, especially if you want to deliver something unique that won’t just collect dust in a drawer somewhere like your generic “World’s Greatest Dad” mug. Luckily, you’ve come to the right place.
Here’s 8 Father’s Day gifts for every dad out there:
1. Grooming Kit
If you know your dad is still using a cheap razor to trim his patchy beard, or maybe his nose hairs are getting a little too visible, it might be time for an upgrade.
Why not get him the ultimate set, stocked with a shaver, nose hair trimmer, and other manly tools? Throw in some skincare too, we don’t need that 3-in-1 crap anymore.
2. Record Player
This one’s for the dad who can’t stop complaining about “the Gen Z music on the radio.” If your dad is someone who appreciates his tunes and loves to wind down with music, this is the perfect gift for him.
If he already has one, an alternative would be to get his favourite vinyls! Take it one step further by hunting down some vintage remastered version too, if you’re rajin enough.
3. Gym Membership
If your dad has been a little too much of a couch potato recently, this might just encourage him to get up and start moving.
Your doctor probably already told you all this, but exercising has tons of benefits, and it would be good to let your dad know that you’re just looking out for his health!
4. Go Karting
Do you have a dad who’s a car enthusiast and impossible to shop for because you have no idea what the hell a crankshaft is? Here’s an easy solution: book an afternoon for you and your dad to enjoy go-karting!
If he’s ever wanted to be on the track but he knows its too dangerous, this is an ideal way to scratch that itch while being in a safe environment.
5. Custom Blazer
For those who are willing to splurge a little, get your dad an upgraded custom blazer! Chances are, he probably has an old one sitting somewhere deep in his closet that he hasn’t worn in years, and it probably doesn’t fit as well anymore.
Jazz up your dad’s wardrobe with this snazzy Father’s Day gift!
6. Micro Projector
If your dad’s a movie buff and spends all his free time watching films, it might be time to get a micro projector. I know what you’re thinking, “He already has a TV in his room.” But is it portable?
With this, he could easily watch his shows anywhere and anytime. Or better yet, even when he’s lying down in bed and just wants to be flat on his back. Imagine watching a movie on your ceiling. Now that’s what the dad-life should be about.
7. Bartender Kit
Picture this, dad comes home from a day at work and needs a drink to let off some steam. But a whiskey on the rocks doesn’t cut it anymore and he’s too tired to head out to a bar. Then he realises he has an at-home bartending kit to upgrade his cocktails.
If your dad likes a refreshing beverage at the end of his day, he’ll appreciate this for sure.
8. Cook a meal
Sometimes it’s the simple pleasures in life that are the best. Cooking a meal for someone is thoughtful and caring, and it can never go wrong. Unless you’re an idiot sandwich…
Search up his favourite meal’s recipe and whip up a nice dinner for him to enjoy. He might judge you for not adding enough seasoning, or if something is too raw, but he’ll enjoy the experience nonetheless.
Happy Father’s Day to all those celebrating! <3
