Father’s Day always creeps up on me. Every year, despite the best intentions, I find myself scrambling at the last second. And it doesn’t help that my husband and dad both seem impossibly difficult to shop for. But this year, I’m excited to say, I am on it.
But if you’re still scrambling, fret not. I promised you I’d always have your back when it comes to saving time, and shopping for Father’s Day definitely falls into the category of things for which there should always be an easy button.
Read on for a list of my top Father’s Day gifts for this year, including price points and links so you can quickly and easily grab something for that special guy in your life. Here’s to it being easy (and to you crushing Father’s Day this year)!
1) Your One-Stop Shop
If you’ve never bought your guy a Man Crate, you need to. Not only do they have something for every man, from the beer aficionado and bourbon enthusiast to the sports lover and beef jerky connoisseur, but each gift comes in a wooden crate. As in, a sealed wooden box that you need a crowbar to open. It’s very manly. Naturally, guys love it. Check out all the options here.
2) For the Guy Who Likes to Grill
My husband loves to grill. And when he grills, I don’t have to cook, so I very much appreciate and encourage it. His favorite grill tool is this tong/turner combo ($10), which allows him to easily flip steaks and burgers.
We also love this wooden grill scraper ($33). It’s a safer way to clean the grill than a metal brush, which can fray and allow harmful metal shavings to end up in your food. This wooden tool molds to the shape of your grill grates over time and works incredibly well to clean them. It’s a tool every master griller must have!
And for the guy who really loves to grill, consider these awesome subscription boxes from The Grill Masters. Your guy will get sauces, rubs and recipes plus a ton more. Check it out!
3) For the Handyman
The self-respecting handyman will have many a tool in his toolbox, but his favorite one might be this laser level and stud finder ($64). Not only does it find studs and throw off a perfectly level laser line, as its name implies, but it sticks to the wall via a plastic hanger with a push-pin device, so it operates hands free. That means you can continue sipping your Chardonnay while you supervise his “honey-do” tasks from afar. No need to hold the level steady for him while he hammers and nails.
Oh, and speaking of nails, check out this cool magnetic cuff ($13) he can wear when he’s working on a project. Now he can have everything at his fingertips. Sure beats him holding screws and nails in his mouth or you having to hand them to him one by one, right? Score!
4) For the T-shirt Guy
Funny and ironic tees are all the rage these days, and my husband, for one, loves them. For every holiday and birthday, I usually end up including a funny tee among his gifts, and he always wears them. Our favorite place to find them these days is Chummy Tees. They have a ton of hilarious t-shirt options, for men and women alike. If you’re stumped, I say grab a tee. Can’t go wrong!
5) For the Bike Rider
It seems that many of us have taken to riding our bikes these days, and with summer in full swing, the weather is perfect for it. Nothing is more of a drag than when the bike tires are flat, though. The solution? This air pump ($80). My husband absolutely loves it. It fills tires in mere seconds at the press of a button, and it can also be used on other inflatable items, like pool floats. So handy!
6) For the Gadget Guy
I’m not a tech expert, but in my opinion this thingy is super cool! It’s a dual charger for his Apple watch and his phone ($54). What guy doesn’t like efficiency, am I right?
Another super cool gadget that is super popular right now is this UV smart phone sanitizer that doubles as a wireless charger ($53). It doesn’t use any chemicals, and will actually sanitize anything that fits inside. Pretty neat, huh?
And I’m a sucker for any gadget that keeps my eyeglasses clean. If your guy wears glasses, check out these fun speck cleaners ($20).
7) For the Raving TV Show Fan
If your husband is anything like mine, there’s some series that he absolutely loves and could watch over and over again. In our house, it’s The Office. Maybe in yours, it’s Game of Thrones or Stranger Things. Whatever it is, you’re sure to be able to find some obscure paraphernalia from the show on Etsy, like this Dwight Schrute painting that I cannot wait to give my husband. Etsy stuff tends to take a bit longer to create and ship, though, so you’ll want to jump on that fast.
8) The Backyardian (is that a word?)
For guys who love spending time in the backyard, you can’t go wrong with classic games like corn hole (you can find sets ranging from $38 to $120) or giant Jenga ($60) or Connect Four ($65). Plus the kids are sure to love these too!
Hopefully this list helped you find something special for your best guy! But don’t put too much pressure on yourself. After all, Father’s Day is about celebrating the man who made you a mama, and the man who raised you. Whatever you decide to give him he’s sure to love because it came from you. Wishing you lots of love and joy this Father’s Day!
