My dad takes impeccable care of his belongings, so much so that it makes it really hard to buy gifts for him because he will keep a pair of sunglasses for years before wanting or needing another pair. Meanwhile, my mom, sister & I will all have at least 6 different pairs to rotate! Must be a man thing because Gary is the same way! I called my dad the other day and asked him what he wanted for Father’s Day and his response was a new printer – progress made! That was until I found out he had been using the printer that I left behind after I graduated college – 8 years ago…that had been used for 4 years before he ever got it- talk about a great return on investment!
I think gifts should be things that someone wants, but also a good mix of things that they would never really seek out and buy for themselves! Here’s a little roundup of Father’s Day gift ideas!
- I think baseball hats are a staple in any man’s closet and you can’t go wrong with gifting a hatin the Summer.
- If you have someone in your life that travels a lot, this on the go travel set is perfect, especially if they always steal your products!!
- I was so excited when I found out that Sugarfina came out with new flavors that are more geared towards the guys – let’s be real everyone loves a good piece of candy! This “Vice Collection” set includes bourbon, scotch and cuba libere flavors! I got Gary the bourbon gummies a few weeks back just as a little something and he loved them!
- Recently my dad has become very techy! He loves to read about the latest gadgets and sometimes knows about iPhone functions I don’t event know about. I think he’d get a kick out of the Alexa Echo & getting his weather, music and other fun updates from it. I can also hear him saying “Alexa, what’s the weather like today” in his boisterous Russian accent!
- My dad is extremely neat & everything has it’s own place. These catchall trays are great because you can have them at the entry way or on your nightstand for everything you need. We have one in the front hall and use it to keep our keys and any mail that has to go out.
- We have this digital meat thermometer fork and LOVE it! I am so nervous about cooking / overcooking meat, but especially chicken and I know that my mom is the same way with food – so this fork would save my dad a lot of trouble by just showing my mom – yes it’s completely cooked! If there is an actual grill involved my BIL has this bluetooth iGrill that connects to his phone and you can step away from the grill and mingle with guests during parties!
- We’ve all seen the #momlife items, but I think these #dadlife mugs are just as funny! If I could find one for #retiredlife I would totally get that for my dad!
Are the men in your life hard to buy for? Do you have a go to Father’s Day gift?
My boyfriend's dad birthday was two days ago and we were completely clueless about what to gift him. We ended up buying an expensive bootle of brandy — we know he likes it 🙂

My dad is the same way. So neat and everything in its place. I keep forgetting about those catch all trays! Perfect! Have a wonderful day!
We just got a Weber grill and I really think we need that thermometer. I'm with you girl I'm constantly finding pairs of sunglasses in odd places, I have a problem lol
These are all great picks! I got my husband the new bourbon flavor in the Sugarfina gummies a few weeks ago and he loved them! Glad to see they are expanding their selection!

We have the Echo Dot and just love it! It's a perfect Father's Day gift.
Dads are so hard to shop for, so I love these ideas! That catchall tray is so classic!
My husband is so hard to buy for. The Alexa Echo is such a great idea!

I think I need to get that meat thermometer/fork – I too and always freaked I will undercook my meat that I always overcook it!!
Great gift ideas! My dad is so hard to shop for, and my husband kind of it too. I usually let my kids make them both something, then add in a gift I know they wouldn't buy themselves. Even though they always just prefer the kids homemade gifts 🙂
I love the idea of the Echo! And hats are always a good idea for my hubby or dad!

I really like that digital meat thermometer! Very cool.

SO many awesome ideas for the dads! I got mine the Echo for Christmas and he loves it!! I really needed to read this post though because he's been difficult to shop for lately!

This is a great gift guide! All of these ideas are perfect for my dad as well as my husband.

Buying a mag is a great idea, there is no deny! Or alcohol… 😛

My dad/ryan are the same way with sunglasses! Must be a guy thing. This is a great round up – that blue tooth grill gadget would be something right up my dads alley.
Love these ideas. My dad is so hard to buy for that my sister and I just meet up with him for breakfast every fathers day morning. This year will be Chris's first father's day so Zoe and I are going to have to come up with something extra special for him!!!
Can your dad and Gary pass along that sunglasses thing to my husband? He either loses or breaks every single pair <3

So many great ideas! Love the mug!

My dad is so predictable, a hat and he's happy, lol. Seriously, he has this thing with baseball caps and they have to be in earthy colors. I don't know why because it's not even like he hunts or anything, I mean he lives in NYC, haha. But, that's what he likes, so it's usually easy. That and some tools, so your hat suggestion and that cool grill meat monitor would also be something he'd love because he loves to cook. In fact, I think I may get one for myself, too, haha! Thanks for sharing, gorgeous, and I hope you have a great day!

I liked the idea of Catchall trays, and this mug is so cute.

These are all such great gifts! I feel like my dad would get use out of the Alexa but would get so annoyed if it didn't do exactly what he wanted it to do lol! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
So fun that Sugarfina has made men flavors! This is a great list. I was having a hard time trying to figure out what to get my dad, but I think the Alexa Echo it is! Thanks Biana!

My dad is the same way with his things, and he doesn't like having a lot of stuff so he's so hard to buy for (like most dads, haha). This actually reminded me that my mom mentioned us getting him an echo– and I'm so intrigued by the igrill!
I think every dad would have a ball with the Alexa. Haha! Great ideas girlie!

My dad loves eating different assortments of peanuts and nuts so sometimes that's an easy go to gift for me because he always loves it and eats them! I would love an Echo for myself haha!

The Bluetooth iGrill is genius! We have a Weber grill so my husband would love this addition since he's always the grill master. My Dad needs the catchall tray and my husband too because let's me honest, he loses everything!!
Such fun picks! We have the Alexa and love it. It's so fun to have!

Okay that candy is too cool! I need to get that for my husband.

That's too funny that your dad was using your printer from college! My parents didn't even have a printer when they moved so they'd been asking us to print stuff for them every time we'd come in town! This is a great list of Father's Day gift ideas and I can't think of a dad or any man that wouldn't make great use of a catchall tray!

My dad has a meat thermometer and LOVES it!
Aww your dad sounds so cute! 🙂 I think Echo would be such a cool gift- I love ours. I'm so used to it, I sometimes catch myself saying "Alexa…" when driving my car or when I'm in the office haha 😉

All great ideas! It's definitely weird having to think of something to get my husband this year 🙂 He would loooove Alexa and I've definitely been contemplating pulling the trigger on that!
Loving that dadlife mug! Guys in general are just so hard!
Your dad sounds a lot like my dad since he keeps things well mostly and protects them with his life lol. I want an Alexa player and OMG that dad mug is so fun and funny. Hope your dad enjoyed his day!
