what to get your father... for father's day

I may have mentioned this in past posts, but, if you don’t know, I’m a big gift person. For me, the thought behind a gift makes it. If I know that a gift was just bought last-minute it kind of makes me upset. It’s not that I’m ungrateful, it just makes me feel like a last-minute thought.

With that said, father’s day is just around the corner. Since I have worked for the past 3 years, I have really tried to put a lot of thought (and a ‘lil money) into the gifts I give my parents. I have found 15 items that I believe most dads would love to receive for their day and won’t break the bank!

(PICTURES AT THE END)

• A nice sweatshirt

  • Most dads have a favorite sports team. If your dad doesn’t that’s okay! Below I have listed a quality, plain sweatshirt and a sports sweatshirt with a few different team options!

    • Plain Sweatshirt ($19 – $40)

    • College Team Sweatshirts ($17 – $40)

    • MLB Sweatshirts ($17- $70)

• Great reusable drinkware

  • Honestly, this is a great gift for anyone! Whether it’s a mug, an on-the-go tumbler, or a reusable water bottle, reusable drinkware is always a safe and useful gift.

    • Golfing Mug ($10)

    • R2-D2 Coffee Mug ($20)

    • Double Insulated Mug 2-Pack ($30)

    • On-The-Go Thermal Mug ($13)

    • Reusable Water Bottle ($23)

    • Tumbler ($15)

• A watch/watch band

  • Watches are a hard gift to buy for a man. My dad has his go-to watches but it may be worth it to buy a cheaper watch for him to use either working out or for smaller occasions!

    • Target Watch ($20)

    • Amazon (Casio) Watch ($17)

    • Fossil Watch ($90)

    • Shark Watch ($65)

• If your dad has an apple watch, buying him a nicer or more casual band could be an easy gift as well!

  • Metal Mesh Band ($14)

  • Metal Link Band ($20)

  • Casemate Leather Band ($50)

  • 3 Pack Sports Strap Bands ($11)

• A good journal and pen

  • This one depends on your dad but some dads use journals daily. I know my dad uses his journal to take notes in meetings. Finding a good journal/pen duo could be a nice and helpful gift for you!

    • Classic Moleskin – Lined ($20)

    • All-Weather Journal – Lined ($14)

    • Leuchtturm Journal ($19)

    • G2 0.5 Pens ($7)

    • Link to an Article About a Ton of Pens

• Quality coffee

  • This one would go great with some reusable drinkware! Try going to a local coffee shop and getting some gourmet coffee grinds for your dad to try!

    • KLLR Coffee (~$20)

    • Idk where else to link! Check your local coffee shops!

• Ice cube molds

  • Some dads like to have the occasional drink! Buying some ice cube mold may be a gift that they love to use. I bought this for my dad a couple of years ago and he loved it!

    • Round Ice Cube Tray ($11)

    • Square Ice Cube Tray ($9)

• Car gadgets

  • If you own a car, you know that making it a homey place can be nice at times! Buying your dad a phone stand, trash can, or car kit may be a great gift if he spends a lot of time in his car!

    • Phone Mount ($10)

    • Trash Can ($12)

    • Alexa-Enabled USB Charger ($29)

• A book with something he likes

  • This gift is another one that is more dependent on the recipient. My grandpa loves books about his hobbies. He has a few on cars, fish, and other cultures. Buying your dad a book about things he loves could be a great way to acknowledge the things he is passionate about!

    • 1000 Record Covers ($15)

    • New York Times Explorer Book ($10 – sale price)

    • Trio Marvel Comic Set ($25)

• Desk trinkets

  • This is one of my personal favorites. If your dad works at a desk, finding some good trinkets to add to his day could be amazing! Whether it’s a picture of your family or a bobblehead of his favorite movie character, a game, or a decorative mug this gift is super easy to customize to your loved one!

    • Picture Frame ($3)

    • Star Wars Figurine ($30)

    • World’s Greatest Dad Mug ($10)

    • Desktop Tetherball ($10)
