Father's Day Gifts That He Actually Wants and Will Use
I'm not bombarding you with golf, grilling, tech gadgets. Here are gift ideas guys will love and that the women in their lives can admire as well. 😉
It’s really hard to shop for guys in categories other than socks, tshirts, underwear, golf stuff, grill stuff, or tech stuff.
But if your guy is anything like mine, he’s already got plenty of that so I branched out with what I hope are some useful gift ideas. Without adding more black gadgets or bulky electronics in your space.
Many of my ideas below come from my Amazon Father’s Day storefront. But I’m also sharing non-Amazon links too.
Clothes and Workout Related
Best Bargain Golf Shirt That Feels Luxury - I actually cannot believe the quality. My husband now has three because they compete with $165 Peter Millar’s for under $25 bucks! Trust me, these are so worth it. Get all colors.
Another Great Golf Shirt - Also love this one that operates way above its pay grade!
Linen Pants - The drawstring keeps them comfy and the linen keeps them practical for warm summer weather. If you have a vacation coming up, grab these for sure.
Oura Ring 5 - New model alert, has only been out for a week. I have it, I love it, massive upgrade from the Oura Ring 4. So worth it for the data into your body and how you’re doing! It has revolutionized my relationship with alcohol and made me realize how much my sleep was being impacted; it’s made me prioritize sleep, steps, protein, all that good stuff.
I posted about it posted about it and 6 months later, I’m even more of a believer and singing the Oura Ring praises!
Hoka Clifton 10 - Like running or walking on air and rainbows. No sore feet, no excuses, best shoes. I’ve been wearing Hoka’s nearly exclusively for 7+ years and the Clifton is my favorite all-around walking and running shoe. The best happy medium shoe (no pun intended) and they also come in wide widths.
Blister Resistant Socks - I am a 20k steps a day person and I go through phases (especially during warm weather or humidity) when I get blisters. Until I tried these socks a few years ago and they’re lifechanging! Worth every penny, I wash and dry them hundreds of times before they wear out.
Short Sleeve Workout Shirt - I’ll always stand behind Lululemon’s workout gear. Amazon and knockoffs sometimes work but Lulu stuff I put through the ringer for years and years. On the best gift list on Lulu.
Classic Fit Polo Shirt - Slim and athletic-cut, rather than boxy and tent-like. If your guy looks good in fitted shirts, this will be a winner. Also on the best gift list on Lulu.
Perfect Linerless Shorts - The 7-inch length is a good happy medium, not too short and not too long for the gym, walks, runs, errands, mowing the lawn, and lounging. Also on the best gift list on Lulu.
I have this post in case you want to learn more about my workout picks - socks, shoes, clothes, etc.
Meat Delivery
ButcherBox is a fantastic option for your carnivore and protein lover. Beef, chicken, fish, seafood, and more. With my link you’ll get FREE sirloin tips, ground beef, or chicken wings FOR LIFE with every order.
You can customize your boxes to come every 4-8 weeks, and you can decide how much you want to order, either “small” or “large”. You can always add onto your order too. So if you’re on the fence, I’d get small and then you can always cherry pick things and add them onto your box a la carte style.
ButcherBox also runs random sales and if you sign up for their texts, they’ll text you when then have a deal on let’s say ground beef, you add that to your next order, and when it ships, the ground beef will come with everything else you’re getting too - so that you’re not dealing with multiple shipments arriving. Everything comes VERY well packed with ice packs.
Water Bottles
Hydro Flask - This one is on sale for under $20 bucks which is a legit really good deal! If you’re looking for a really leakproof bottle with a straw, this is the one!
Yeti with Slider Top - I personally love my classic Yeti with slider top.
Grilling
I have an entire Grilling Storefront with all my favorite grills, grill tools, and more!
I also have a Best Gas Grills for Beginners post that I wrote!
Weber Gas Grill - My grill is very similar to this one but it’s 10 years old so they don’t make it anymore. I grill 2-3x a week, for the last TEN YEARS and it’s still going strong. A great balance of big enough to grill a decent quantity of food but not huge since I don’t have a huge space.
Grill Basket - A true workhorse. I’ve had two or three in the last decade, they last for years and again, I use mine multiple times per week. Here’s a simple yet delicious Grilled Vegetables recipe. Works with almost any veggie.
Grilling Tools - I’ve tried them all. None last forever but these are solid!
Grill Cleaner/Brush - Another category that I’ve tried them all. The trendy ones lately are look like a brillo pad on a stick which I don’t love. But this brush I do love! It works and the handle is SO strong. I’ve literally snapped handles on other brushes but not this one because it’s built like a brick you-know-what house.
Tech and Tech-Related
Phone and Charging Dock - Finally a good looking docking station that’s not black plastic. I cannot stand more black electronic related stuff in my house. It’s visual impairment for me but this one passes my aesthetic test!
Sleek Phone Stand - Another one that is beautiful rather than ghastly. If your guy is on Zooms or needs an artful way to prop up his phone on his desk or nightstand, here you go.
PowerBank - After manyyyyy trips and lugging power banks across the globe that ultimately don’t power anything for more than 5 minutes, this one actually works. You get what you pay for here. The Anker brand is always solid!
Anker 3-In-1 Charger - For the modern guy with an Apple watch, mag safe phone case, and earbuds, this keeps it tidy, charged, and it folds up.
Bose Portable Speaker - I’ve never met a guy who’d say no to Bose anything! This portable speaker would be a hit for sure.
Kindle Paperwhite - For the reader in your life (also see all my Book Reviews!), this one has the best screen IMO and has weeks of battery life. It’s the Kindle I use and have no complaints.
