9 Types of Dads, Tons of Father's Day Gift Ideas
1:09 PM
Father's Day is coming up quick and sometimes picking out a gift for dad can be a pain. Whether he's a sports fan, business man, hunter, or all three here are gifts he's sure to like (and they're not socks and boxers).
1. Music Enthusiast Dad
If your dad is a huge Beatles fan update his wardrobe with a cool Beatles T-shirt like this one from Fabfourstore.com. T-shirts not his thing? Snag him tickets to see his favorite artist live in concert, a cool jazz performance, or a CD/vintage record of some oldie but goodie you've never heard of but he's obsessively into.
2. Sports Lover Dad
Get dad a jersey signed by his favorite quarterback. Your dad just ran out of golf balls and tees because let's be honest, he's not that good and loses them on the course, grab him a set from Dick's Sporting Goods. Go the extra mile and personalize the balls with a message or just his name. More golf ideas (because who doesn't like golf): Give dad a putting green mat to put in the work office, home office, or basement. He can perfect his putting stroke.
3. Business Man/Dapper Dad
A new, all leather, smooth wallet from Ralph Lauren is sure to make business man dad happy. A leather travel kit like this one from Brooks Brothers is perfect because Dad is always on a business trip. Give business man dad time to relax with a trip to the spa or cook him a fantastic steak entree. Even Tom Ford cologne is a must for the number one man in your life.
4. Car Fanatic Dad
My dad is the "All of The Above Dad" but at the moment he is working on fixing up a car. He's into motorcycles, races, expensive cars, and just about anything else related to automobiles. For this type of dad the perfect gifts could be an eBay gift card because he will be trading hundreds of parts online and also looking for new parts. Or you could buy dad a new Bugatti for only $1,000... a new Bugatti toaster that is (please don't). Car fanatic dad will also love tickets to motorcylce races or Nascar.
5. Tech Geek Dad
Laptop case from Ralph Lauren, Google Glasses (yeah right), an electric Tesla car (yeah right), portable charger, wireless keyboard from Mac, or a new iPhone are all perfect gifts for tech geek dad, or maybe for the dad that needs to update his technology and stop embarrassing you with his flip phone. Oh and two words: portable charger! Get one that charges two devices at once from Tego.
6. Outdoors Man Dad
Outdoors man dad loves nature, camping, hunting, or a relaxing day at the lake. If you're capable of being ultra giving, rent him out a small lake house for a weekend so him and mom can relax, fish, and have a nice get away. Or he could ditch mom and invite his buddies! A new Columbia hat or backpack will have him set for his next hiking adventure.
7. Book Lover Dad
Gift cards to a bookstore are so perfect because Dad can pick exactly what he wants to read. For a more personal gift idea try getting him a set of bookmarks or customizing some. There is also book scented cologne (SO weird).
8. Artistic Dad
Do a day trip to NYC and visit the MoMA, the Guggenheim, or the MET. Check out "Art On The Brain" for art inspiration. Get artistic dad something handmade to show him that your creative juices are running just like his are. DIY food counts too like these golf cupcakes from Martha Stewart, yum!
9. All of The Above Dad
You can never go wrong with a gift basket decked out with a ton of stuff he's likely to enjoy. There are pre-made gift sets but take it a step further and personalize dad's gift with a little DIY gift basket. Fill it with his favorite candy, a movie gift card, sports tickets, and coffee beans. You know best what kind of dad you have so get out there and make his day!
What type of dad do you have?
