Who is looking for Last Minute Father’s Day Gifts? There aren’t many shopping days left, so I am sharing a few easy gift ideas for Dads. Even if you can’t procure the gift by Sunday, have your child draw a picture of the present to insert in the Father’s Day card. Enjoy!
10 Thoughtful and Inexpensive Father’s Day Gifts
There are plenty of thoughtful Father’s Day gift ideas that don’t cost a fortune, but will still make any dad feel special.
- Make a photo album – it costs very little money to print photos at your local pharmacy!
- Organize his sock drawer – I don’t know about the special guy in your life, but both my husband and my Dad are always looking for the ‘other’ sock. I buy them both new socks often too!
- Bring Dad breakfast in bed or any meal while he is relaxing
- Make an invitation to a family game night – our girls’ Dad LOVES to play board games!
- Design a few “Good for One” tickets for Dad to redeem: a back scratch, his favorite snack from the cabinet, help in the yard, etc.
- Offer to do ‘his’ chores – specifically the chores Dad despises most (like laundry + dishes)
- Bake his favorite treat – cookies, cake, or perhaps a cheese pizza?
- Wash his car – what Dad doesn’t love a shiny clean car?
- Help in the yard – my husband is always asking his daughters to pick up the sticks that fall from the trees onto the lawn. Offer to help your dad with yard work!
- Write a Father’s Day poem or fill out this worksheet.
1 // Outdoor Fire Pit
My husband loves to spend time outside during the summer, especially in the evening by our outdoor fire pit. I know a lot of Dads who received this Solo Stove Smokeless Fire Pit for Christmas and birthdays this year – it would make a great gift for Father’s Day too!
2 // Portable Bluetooth Wireless Speaker
One of my husband’s favorite gadgets is a portable bluetooth speaker. He brings it everywhere because it’s wireless, waterproof, loud, and holds a battery for a long time. Brandon has packed it for vacations and day trips to the beach.
3 // Indoor Putting Green
We bought Brandon an Indoor Putting Green for his birthday and it’s his new favorite toy. This Indoor Putting Green is a great Father’s Day gift because it’s easy to store and fun for everyone to play!
4 // Backpack Cooler
Another Father’s Day gift for Dads who like beer (or anything that has to stay cold) is this backpack cooler. Our family carries the backpack cooler EVERYWHERE!
5 // Grill Tools
Grill tools are always a great gift for the Dad who likes to cook. This 16 piece stainless steel set comes with a storage kit so Dad can keep the tools organized.
6 // Wireless Ear Pods
Dads need wireless ear pods for many reasons, especially because the cord can get in the way when mowing the lawn or exercising. Wireless ear pods are a great Father’s Day gift even if they are on the pricey side. This is what Brandon is getting for Father’s Day!
7 // Golf Gear
Golf clubs, golf gloves, or anything golf related is always an easy gift for golf loving Dads. One of my favorite CT businesses, MonogramMary, has a lot of personalized golf gear for Dads!
8 // Summer Shoes
A pair of men’s smoking slippers or sandals (under $15) are comfortable and practical for the warm months ahead. Smoking slippers aren’t for smoking though – they are actually more like espadrilles. Brandon wears this brand all summer since they’re breathable and long-lasting footwear.
