For too long, Father’s Day has sat in the shadow of Mother’s Day. Pushed to the side, Father’s Day has quietly taken a back seat to Mother’s Day for decades. Not this year. This year we’re going all out for our dads with these amazing fathers day gift ideas they actually want!
You’re probably a tad north of being young enough to give your dad a handmade card splashed with crayon stick-figured people, and he thinks of it as an acceptable gift. No, those days are gone. Your dad deserves better.
1. Pizza Oven
If your dad is a man, and he has to be, he loves pizza. With this oven, your dad can make wood fire pizza in his own backyard. The size makes it ultra-portable, which means you can ask to borrow it at any time and “accidentally” forget to return it.
2. A Different Kind of Puzzle
Puzzles are a great way to keep dad’s ole mind churning at top speed. And when he’s mastered the 500, 750, and even 1,000-piece puzzles, it’s time to present him with a new challenge. This 3D puzzle of St. Paul’s Cathedral even opens up for detailed inside work.
3. Massage Gun
Let’s face it, muscles not only quit working as well as they once did when we get older, they simply hurt more. This may be a mini massage gun, but nothing is mini about the punch it packs. It is a gift that will help work out all those sore areas your dad is always complaining about.
4. Wall Chess
Yeah, you read that right. Wall chess. It’s likely your father is the one who taught you how to play the game of chess and some basic strategies. He can hang this board on the wall, and it can become a game the two of you play for an extended period of time because you never have to put it away. You can simply make your moves as you casually walk down the hall.
5. YETI Rambler
Dads like things to be the way they are supposed to be. If something is supposed to be cold, it better be cold. If it’s supposed to be hot, it better be hot. This stainless steel little beauty does just that…like it’s supposed to.
6. Camping Hammock
Your dad probably has many skills that you’re proud of. He may have even passed some of them down to you. But lounging might be the best fathers day gift he could get. This hammock allows him to mix his gifted lounging techniques with the outdoors. A new place to lie down, he’ll love it.
7. Survival Radio
Is your dad a prepper? Is he the kind of guy that likes to be ready for anything that comes his way? If so, this hand-crank radio might be the perfect gift for him. Don’t worry, it can also be powered by a battery, wall outlet, and the sun.
8. Classic Coffee
Most dads have a taste for the classics. They also tend to have a taste for coffee. This gift will give him the best of both. It will also provide him with a coffeeshop quality cup right in his own kitchen.
9. A gift for his best friend
There was a time in your life when you were the apple of your dad’s eye. But those days are gone. Now, the dog has taken over as his favorite son. I know giving a gift that benefits your rival seems like a bad move, but your dad will appreciate it. And it is his day, after all.
10. Tools
Ah, glorious tools. A dad’s shopping list wouldn’t be complete without an option for tools. This mechanics tool kit comes with over 200 pieces to help your dad fix anything in the garage—especially the things he broke.
More Than Gifts
Bonus: if the dad you know is ready to take the next step in his spiritual journey as a godly leader, have him check out the Free Dad Quiz so he can chart his course. No matter what dad is into, one of the gifts on this list should bring a smile to his face. So, go ahead and spoil him with a nice fathers day gift. Give him something that’ll make him look forward to next year’s Father’s Day.
