Father’s Day is just a week and a half away on Sunday, June 17th and putting together a gift guide for the occasion is on the top of my favorite things to do. I think about Chris and my dad and my father in law and all the wonderful men that inspire and impact my life and then all the things I think they would love to have without them even realizing they wanted it–aren’t those really the best gifts? Here are the 18 gifts for fathers I can’t wait to gift this year (psst–I linked past guides at the bottom of the post!).

1. Leather roll up to keep all his charging cords tidy while he travels. (Add a monogram for free!) $49

 

2. The perfect, cool-guy sunglasses (that he can swap in on rotation with his aviators) for every face shape. $59


3. A backpack baby carrier he can sport on all those hikes on his list this summer. $169

4. Going to the Mountains is Going Home pennant.For his office. The cabin. His bookshelf. The man cave. $25

 

5. A Molcajete. Because he makes the best freakin’ guac every Sunday and he’s ready to take it up a notch. $39

6. Silver Fox hat, because his salt and pepper hair makes him even more handsome. $30

7. A sweet card listing all his special skills (he gets the day off from). $4

8. Feast by Firelight. The best, easy-to-prepare recipes for gatherings at campgrounds and cabins alike. $19

9. The coolest bomber jacket he can dress up or down and wear every day. $44

10. A Frisbee (with nearly 3000 5 star reviews) so he can teach the kids, like he taught you. $9

11. A shaving apron that connects to the mirror and collects all his beard clippings. (yesssss!!!!) $10

12. A Philips Hue Starter Pack–Light bulbs with voice activation. So when it’s time for bed, you can just ask her to turn off the lights. Or turn the lights to a certain percentage–they’re the best. $98

13. A vintage feel Sriracha t-shirt because he puts it on everything. Literally everything. $24

14. FOREO LUNA 2 for MEN Face Brush and Anti-Aging Device that takes 2 minutes for Deep Cleansing and Pre-Shave Routine that will leave his skin smooth, refreshed and toned. $199

15. Wood Burning Kit so he can take his wood working to the next level. $16

16. A Spike Stress Management and Activity Tracker that can clip onto his belt and Forbes calls “the fitbit for your mind.” $115.

17. A cushy camp chair with a built-in umbrella your dad is going to tell all the neighbors about. $35

18. Insulated gloves–waterproof/oil & heat resistant for the BBQ/Smoker/Grill that Chris loves to wear when pulling his smoked pork. $24

    Love that the gift ideas are so affordable! I hate gift guides that have all $100+ gifts! Thanks for including several more affordable gift ideas in this year’s guide and in previous years.

    What is the screwdriver used to attach Prive sign? I followed link but couldn’t remember my Amazon pwd ????

  4. Elyse says:

    Can we have a couple experiential gifts next time? My husband trying not to buy ‘stuff’ (unless it really speaks to us) and trying to experiential gifts. I love the idea of this and sometimes its super easy, but sometimes its hard and I’d love a suggestion!

      I’m taking my dad to see Jurassic Park. :) We’ve watched every one together so it’s fun the new one is coming out right around Father’s Day.
