11 Perfect Gifts for Dad This Holiday Season
With the holiday season fast approaching, now is the perfect time to start brainstorming gift ideas for your friends and family. And that includes one of the most important (and often most difficult to shop for) people in your life: your dad! If you struggle to find the perfect gift for your dad year after year, you’ve come to the right place. Keep reading for 11 great ideas on what to get your father this holiday season.
- Temperature Control Mug: One thing that we’ve noticed across the board is that dads tend to love their gadgets. Anything that has a cool concept and can make their life even a little bit easier tends to go over well with all kinds of dads. So, if your dad is a coffee drinker, or if he spends a lot of time working in an office, a temperature control mug makes a great gift. This way he won’t have to worry about his coffee getting cold if he gets distracted with work throughout the morning.
- Shave Set: Another thing most dads like in a gift is practicality. A nice shaving set is always a good, practical gift that you can give to any man. Most sets come with a few razors, a shave gel and some form of aftershave. A shave set is always a nice way to pamper the men in your life.
- Kitchen Tools: If your dad likes to cook, try getting him a nice knife set that he can use when making his favorite dishes. Or if your dad likes to grill a lot, you can pick up a set of grill tools or utensils. Plus anything that gets your dad cooking is really a gift for the whole family!
- Accessories: Men’s accessories are few and far between. Women really win out in this category as men don’t have nearly as much variety when it comes to fashion. However, there are a few things that you can gift to your dad that will help keep him stylish and accessorized. Belts, ties, cuff links or wallets all make great gifts for your dad.
- Travel Gear: If your dad has to travel for work, or if he is retired and likes to spend his free time taking different trips, some nice travel gear makes a great gift. Think of things that will make his time in the air more comfortable. Things like neck pillows, compression socks, portable chargers or a good book are all great gifts for someone who spends a lot of time on public transportation.
- Subscription Box: If your dad is particularly picky about gifts, we suggest a subscription box. These come in a variety of different themes but for dad we suggest a snack box! The way to a man’s heart truly is through his stomach so a monthly delivery of a unique selection of snacks is the perfect gift.
- A Nice Bottle of Liquor: For the dad that likes to enjoy a drink or two, get him a premium bottle of his favorite liquor. A good bourbon or a smoky mezcal will be a nice treat for your dad to enjoy in the evenings.
- Concert Tickets: Music loving dads would be thrilled to be gifted the experience of a night out seeing live music. If you dad doesn’t really like receiving things that could clutter up his space, concert tickets are something that he will love.
- Headphones: This pertains mostly to older generations, but many dads have yet to switch over to wireless headphones. If your dad is stuck in the past, gift him his first pair of Bluetooth connected headphones. He will definitely thank you later for this one.
- Running Shoes: If you have a fitness enthusiast as a dad, give him a new pair of running shoes this holiday season. Running shoes make a great gift because as any athlete knows, shoes need to be replaced every so often. Make sure your dad has good arch support and pick up a new pair of shoes for him this year.
- Graphic Tees: If your dad has a good sense of humor, gift him a graphic tee with a funny message that pertains specifically to him or your family. If you find one that can make him laugh, you’ve got a great gift on your hands.
