Sweaters are cool and everything, but if you’re in the market for something a little different, check out these unique gift ideas that are sure to put a smile on dad’s face for Father’s Day—or any holiday!
A Crate Of . . . Anything!
Gift “crates” have become very popular in the past few years, so if you haven’t considered one for dad it’s definitely something to check out. There are so many options to choose from you’re bound to find the perfect gift for dad. There are whisky-making kits, gourmet jerky, sports-themed crates, snacks from other countries, craft kits, boating and fishing kits, specialty BBQ sauces and rubs, and so much more. Some are a one-time purchase, while others are subscription-based so you can keep the love coming all year long!
Meat For The Grillmaster
Lots of dads take great pride in their grill skills and if your dad is one of them, he will definitely love a selection of high-quality steaks. If you really want to go all out, you can even get him specialty Wagyu steaks directly from Japan! If dad isn’t a red meat fan, there are also options for meat boxes with chicken, sausages, and hot dogs. Whatever your dad’s tastes, he will love firing up the grill and cooking up his new treats. For even more fun, team up with your mom, sibling, or another family member– you can have that person get him some specialty BBQ sauce, marinades, or new grilling tools to go with his fancy new meats. He will love the thought you put into coordinating his gift.
Beer or Wine Subscription
If dad loves to kick back with a cold one after work or relax over a glass of wine, he will love receiving different drinks to try. Typically, dad will receive a new selection of beer or wine each month for the amount of time you designate; treat dad to one, three, six, or twelve months of unique beers or wines that come right to his door. He will have a blast sampling new flavors, and pairing his favorite foods with his new beverages!
Grooming Kit
If manscaping is the name of your dad’s game, then a grooming kit is a perfect gift. If he prefers to be clean-shaven, there are tons of shave kits and subscriptions out there that will give him the best shave of his life. Or, if he prefers the bearded look, you can choose a beard grooming kit so he can keep his whiskers in tip-top shape. There are also great body care gifts out there, such as body wash, moisturizer, and even cologne. After all, dad deserves a little pampering too!
Treat Him To An Experience
If you’ve exhausted all possibilities and have run out of things to get dad, treat him to a one-of-a-kind experience. Just think about what your dad likes best; it could be tickets to a sports event, a gift certificate for a nice dinner, a trip to see a Broadway show, concert tickets to see his favorite band, or even a vacation. Preferably, you’ll be attending the experience with him; he may not remember all of the physical gifts you’ve purchased for him over the years (though they are assuredly welcome and useful) but he will always remember the adventure you experienced together.
Hopefully, this list inspires you to try out a gift he has never received before; there is definitely going to be something that speaks to your dad’s interests and demonstrates how much you care about him. Show dad how much you love him by surprising him with a unique gift! Whatever gift you decide to give, dad will definitely appreciate the thought and love you put into choosing it.
