Fun Father’s Day Gifts for Dad

Yes, it’s Father’s Day

Why is it that kids do not conceive of their parents as ever being young, cool, sexy, or rockin’ the hard body? No wonder they can’t come up with a more fun Father’s Day gift ideas than a tie.

But Dad was young. Once. He had hair. And a waistline. And a 6-pack…not the one in the fridge. Looking for trouble or love. Or just a good party. He didn’t always own dad-jeans. He used to tell really good jokes.

Let’s relive the glory days and celebrate dad in a way that he will appreciate. I have put together some of the most popular gift ideas for this year.

You will find something whether it’s his first Father’s Day or if he’s been at this for a while. Take a look at some of the fun things you might consider giving your cool dad this Father’s Day.

For a special treat

A sweet Father’s Day dessert

Make a batch of cupcakes or his favorite muffins and top with these cute cupcake toppers. You can find them here on Etsy. They are super-easy to assemble. Print them at home on cardstock. Cut out images with scissors or a 2″ hole punch. Use a complementary pattern or plain paper for the backing. Apply glue to the back of each circle, sandwich a toothpick or small skewer in between the 2 circles, and press together until set. Decorate frosted cupcakes or muffins with your completed cupcake topper.

Techno Dad

Something he wants

For the more active dad, the Fitbit Charge 3 Fitness Tracker will keep him updated on the calories he is burning, his resting heart rate, even the amount of time spent in various sleep cycles. It tracks him day and night. Pretty much the same thing he does to you.

Sometimes he wants or needs to dress things up a bit. This Classic Bronze Age wristwatch from MVMT is the perfect accessory when he has to dress up.

OK, he may not be so happy with the IDEA of this gift but will be thrilled once it is put to use and saves his butt. Dad’s seem to lose things. Certainly not all Dad’s, but enough that this little gizmo was created. Tile Sport Key Finder. Phone Finder. Wallet Finder. Anything Finder.

If he still doesn’t have a wireless charger get him this Anker Wireless Charger.

While you’re upgrading his tech does he need wireless headphones? iJoy Matte Finish Premium Rechargeable Wireless Headphones will do the trick.

Practical Dad

Something he needs

Make a note of this…the Drill Is Not Included. But let him get his own drill. He knows what he wants. Get him the Holikme 6 Piece Drill Brush Attachment Set. He’s gonna power through grease and scum on anything that doesn’t run away. Watch Dad Work!

If Dad has a special (but not creepy) bond with his automobile, make sure he has a bottle of CarGuys Super Cleaner. This all-purpose cleaner is great for the interior messes on the leather, vinyl, or carpet and upholstery. Or on the exterior to clean rubber or plastic surfaces. Gets rid of grease, bird poop, and tree sap.

The classic gift of all time is a Swiss Army Knife. Everybody needs one of these. Maybe not the model that has 500 tools, but a useful 13 functions that will solve a whole lot of problems.

Disney dad

He’ll be easy to shop for

If you’ve got one of these then I suggest this…a Mickey Backpack, a Mickey Mouse Watch, and a Denim jacket.

Fun Dad

Something to Wear

Dad has a silly side, you know he does. Let him express it proudly in this Best. Dad.Ever T-Shirt

Maybe you think he would like this one better. Husband. Daddy. Hero.

For Super-hero-Daddy. Watch him get his Batman on with the super-cool DadMan T-shirt.

Curious Dad

Something to Read

It seems dad is the one responsible for passing on from generation to generation the “pull my finger” prank. He will be interested in the more cerebral look at flatulence in the book “Does It Fart”

“A Field Guide to Whisky” will whet his appetite to the history and the staggering variety of whiskey in this world.

Mom and Dad are usually trying to send the same message, but, there’s no denying it, they say it in totally different ways. Take a look at “Sh*t My Dad Says” for proof of this.

Soccer Dad

Kijaro Dual Lock Portable Camping and Sports Chair is what he deserves for supporting your budding sports career. Get one for Mom while you’re at it.

Golfing Dad

If he’s happiest when he’s golfing get him this Putt-A-Bout Grassroots Par Three Putting Green. He can set it up at home or at the office. Great for practice or for rainy days.

Gardening Dad

Foxgloves Grip Gloves protect hands from bites and scratches that invariably happen when doing yard work. He can do all the work he wants without the pain.

Dog-duty Dad

With a SparklyPets Hands-Free Dog Leash he can jog or talk on the phone while walking the dog.

There you have it. Father’s Day gift ideas for your dad. No matter what Father’s Day activities are planned I hope you find the perfect fun gift for your fun dad.
