Father’s Day is almost here, and with all of this time sheltered in place together as a family, making it work & keeping each other sane – I’m more grateful for my guy than ever! Time to celebrate the dads!
This one’s for the new dads, the experienced dads, the grandpas – something for everyone! I included some budget-friendly ($30 or under) picks, mid-range items, and some splurges too – things that the whole family can appreciate for years.
From fun to practical (I have a very no-nonsense dad & husband) I’ve got ya covered with some ideas! Also included a few last minute “oh shoot, Father’s Day is tomorrow” options – enjoy!
$30 or Less
#1 Basic Workout Shirt [Dathan always wears through these quicker than any other clothes, they just get dingy/smelly after awhile! this is a great budget-friendly option to replace a bunch for a great price]
#2 Lunch Bag/Travel Cooler [I grabbed this for Christmas and it’s been so great! Fits all containers so well, plus a drink, snacks, etc. Also great travel cooler for quick day trips! Grab this Travel Silverware Set and our favorite Slim Cool Packs to go with it – they’re also great for grocery bags!]
#3 Quick Dry Swim Trunks [tons of colors, and quick-dry so they can be worn from the pool to BBQ with no changing]
#4 Safer Cologne [try the men’s sampler set for $18, and the money you spend goes towards a full bottle purchase. And while you’re at it, try our favorite safer deodorant HERE!]
#5 Personalized “Dear Daddy” Book [such a cute idea, and love shopping Etsy when I can to support small businesses]
#6 “Da Da” T Shirt [so sweet for a new dad! lots of colors too – and a small business to support on Etsy]
#7 Battery Charging Case for iPhone [this is a must for on-the-go, especially day trips like beach or Disneyland!]
Mid-Range Gifts He’ll Love
#8 Adidas Running Shoes [a more budget-friendly style with great reviews, and runs true to size]
#9 Thermapen Meat Thermometer [everyone NEEDS this, for indoor or outdoor cooking – we use ours every single time we cook meat!]
#10 Briogeo Scalp Scrub [both me and my husband use this and LOVE – smells like sweet mint, and a great black-owned company to support. they have tons of amazing products with clean ingredients!]
#11 Yeti Tumbler [perfect size for getting all of your water in, and keeps it super cold for summer, or coffee hot if you want that! Straw Lid set HERE | Glass Straw Set HERE]
#12 Tumi Wallet [this brand makes great quality pieces that will last – love this simple style that has ID lock for security!]
#13 Counterman Travel Set [safer personal care products starter set – or go for a larger regimen. we LOVE this line!]
#14 AirPods [if your guy doesn’t have a set yet, he needs them! And you too! I love these for workouts, walks, and even just around the house when I don’t need the whole world hearing my murder podcasts]
Splurges the Whole Family Can Use
Small Gym/Office Fan: we have had our Dyson fan for years and it’s still going strong, love this smaller size
Yeti Cooler: this was a Christmas splurge this year, and is so great for at-home parties and for on the go to the beach, camping, BBQ, wherever!
Veer Wagon: cool, customizable, and so so functional. we use this more than our stroller! And folds up for easy travel to take wherever (farmer’s market, amusement parks, even beach/trails)
Dyson Vacuum: every house needs one (or two), and it’s SO good for vacuuming out the car with the different attachments and removable long handle! we love ours, have one upstairs and one downstairs
Online Shops to Browse
The Shop Forward: simple clothes & accessories that support a cause – super cool shop I learned about from some of my readers! check them out (and their Father’s Day shop) HERE. good prices too!
Rogue Fitness: we buy all of our workout gear from here – storage racks, kettlebells, bumper plates, dumbbells, jump ropes, slam balls, you name it. Even clothes – my husband loves their T-shirts. Shop early, their shipping can take a little while but it’s always worth the wait!
