Finding just the right gift for Dad requires you to really bring your A-game to the effort. You’ll need equal measures of creativity and determination. Fortunately, however, you won’t need to spend a fortune – or invest hours scouring the malls.
The folks at RedEnvelope are gift-giving experts; they operate one of the most successful gift sites on the Web. Here are their hints for some great Father’s Day gifts that will ensure Dad will be bragging this year about the smarts, creativity and thoughtfulness of his family members:
1. Holster up.
Dad’s always been the lawman in the household. Make him feel at home on the range – or the grill – with a beer holster or a Grill slinger barbecue tool belt and tools. The leather holster snaps onto any standard belt and holds a 12-ounce bottle or can. The canvas Grill slinger tool belt comes with a grill knife, tongs and spatula – with plenty of room to spare for additional tools.
2. Shower him with jewels.
Or at least a manlier version of what might be Mom’s favorite gift category. Dad may demure at a tennis bracelet, but he’ll probably love a Magwear magnetic wristband. Strap it on and it’s an extra set of hands while doing handy work because its powerful magnet and large, flat surface allows him to hold multiple screws, nails and small metal items safely – not in his mouth.
Dads always seem to know a lot of things we don’t. Enhance his air of mystery with hidden message tie clips or collar stays. On the tie clip, the hidden message “Love ties us together” reminds him the bonds of family connect you always. The collar stays list the many reasons “I love you because … ” such as “you helped me with my homework,” “you can ‘fix’ almost anything” and “you taught me how to drive.”
3. Give him game
When it comes to team loyalty, no one beats Dad. If some of his fondest memories involve visits to legendary major ballparks, give him the opportunity to carry a bit of hallowed ground with him. Ballpark cuff links are crafted from the salvaged seats of some of America’s most famous and beloved stadiums, like Wrigley Field, Shea Stadium, Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium.
4. Send him sizzle
With Father’s day arriving during the heat of summer grilling season, what better Father’s Day gift could there be than one that allows him to show off his skills as a master griller? He can really make his mark – on steaks and in the minds of his guests – when he serves up beef branded with his own monogrammed branding iron. Personalized grilling gloves or a grilling tool set make the statement that here’s a man who knows how to barbecue with the best. And a beer can chicken roaster allows him to combine two of summer’s great culinary joys – grilled chicken and beer.
5. Leather him up
Nothing epitomizes Dad’s enduring strength and quality – not to mention good looks – like leather. Whether you opt for a men’s leather watch case, an uber-useful leather catchall or leather excursion travel case, you can’t go wrong in terms of durability, beauty and functionality.
