Last Minute Father’s Day Gifts

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!

Before I get to 8 Father’s Day gift ideas, I want to share 10 Thoughtful and Inexpensive Father’s Day Gifts.

1. Make a photo album – it costs very little money to print photos at your local pharmacy!
2. Organize his sock drawer – I don’t know about you but both my husband and my Dad are always looking for the ‘other’ sock.
3. Bring Dad breakfast in bed
4. Make an invitation to a family game night – our girls’ Dad LOVES to play board games!
5. 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.
6. Offer to do chores around the house – specifically the chores Dad despises most (like laundry + dishes)
7. Bake his favorite cookies or cake
8. Wash his car – what Dad doesn’t love a shiny clean car?
9. Clean the inside of his car
10. 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 // A Beer Club Subscription – Last Minute Favorite!

Craft beer is such a popular “thing” right now and my husband is huge fan. A Beer Club Subscription makes a great Father’s Day gift.

4 // Backpack Cooler

Another Father’s Day gift for Dads who like beer (or anything that has to stay cold) is this backpack cooler. My brother-in-law has one and brings it 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 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.
