Father’s Day is always the hardest, isn’t it? Mugs, beer steins, grilling goods, wallets, sock, T-shirts – he already has plenty of those and doesn’t it all create more work for Mom (or Dad) because those are items need to be washed, etc. Let’s think next level for Dad this year, what can he use that will bring him joy and be functional? That was my goal for this list and I also mixed in some crafty ideas as well!
Before we go into this list, don’t forget about the other kinds of gifts – experiences, gift cards, etc!
- Gift card to his favorite shop.
- A night at the casino.
- Take a workshop together.
- Plan a hike or picnic.
- A special cooked meal.
- A handmade greeting card with a “thank you , Dad” letter inside.
The list – I linked a lot of these to Amazon, but you can also check with your local book and gift shops to support small business!

CRAFTY IDEA: Father’s Day Chair
BLACKBERRY + SANDALWOOD Soy Wax Candle
Dads need candles too! Galeana 39 is a brand by my friend, Curtis, and he has impeccable taste and style. He creates beautifully scented soy candles that smell as gorgeous as they look. This one has a masculine spirit with its onyx jar and grey-toned label. The aroma is a combo of amber, sandalwood and berry. Just the right blend of texture and sweetness, just like Dad! $25.
