Celebrating the Special Dad in Your Life
It’s dad’s turn to take the spotlight. On June 19th, it’s time to grab the craft beer, cigars, and golf clubs and celebrate the special dad in your life. But, for those of us who have lost our dads, the day can be complicated. I was fortunate in that my father lived until 88. But my daughters lost their dad when they were 17 and 21. Looking back, I spent a great deal of time stressing about handling their first father’s day without their dad.
My advice would be to follow your kid’s lead. They chose to ignore that first Father’s Day, and we headed to the beach. In the years since, we have gone to a Yankee game, something we loved doing for his birthday.
My choice is to honor my dad since I was blessed to have him around for a long time. I’m not going to lie. It’s a hard day watching everyone celebrating their fathers. But I try to count my blessings for the time we had together. In the past, we did give my husband and father some great Father’s Day gifts, and that is simply what I will share.
Fun Cards
From cards you can design to 3D cards to Father’s Day cards, a card often goes a longer way than a gift.
This past year, I signed up for Hallmark Crown Rewards. It is free to join (and you get a $5 coupon just for joining). They’ve got great Father’s Day cards that you can ship to the recipient. Or create your own Father’s Day card with Canva. They have over 400 designs to choose from. You can personalize the card, including photos.
Sports Fan
Is your dad a sports fan? Has he been flipping the TV to ESPN weekly to see what new sports are being aired? If you answered yes, we have some fan gear gift ideas for you!
Grab some cool Fanatics merch from polos to baseball caps. If Dad has a favorite sports team, Fanatics has some great items, including these reduced-priced gift boxes.
While shopping with them, check out any additional items you can add to the cart. We love the themed cornhole games, hook and ring, and electric football game!
Is Dad now a Pickleball fan? Golf? Tennis? Consider getting him some new outfits. Lululemon and Amazon are good places to start. Macy’s has activewear as well. Men aren’t as fashion-conscious as the ladies are, but anything wicking and comfortable will do the trick.
To The Best Dad Ever!
Alright, does your dad have a sweet tooth? Enjoy adding some good aesthetic items to the house? Head over to Greetabl to build your own Father’s Day box! Pick out your box design, and add items such as the best dad ever key chain or mini mug, whiskey stones, and the everything tool. Add a gift card to Lowes, Nordstrom, Target, Wine.com, Starbucks, Fandango, Apple Store or more for an affordable and memorable gift!
Fore!!!
Maybe your dad heads to the greens every weekend. Check out these golf-themed Fanatics sports boxes that are on sale. They include a golf towel, baseball cap, golf balls, ball marker, golf tees, hat pin, repair tool, and cooler.
Speaking of getting creative, you can always use Etsy to purchase customized items for dad. This dad’s day, help update the items in his golf bag. You can grab customized golf balls, gloves, apparel, and more! We also suggest taking a peek into a personalized grill set, wine, and beer openers, or even a charging station for all of dad’s tech addictions.
Close Shave
There is something about kissing dad on his cleanly shaved and groomed cheek. A monogrammed Leather Dopp Kit makes a great Dad’s Day gift. Ebags has some great shaving kits as well. You may think of Ulta Beauty for women, but they have some great shaving items. Don’t forget to ask mom for her coupon for Ulta for additional savings. Macy’s carries The Art of Shaving Kits priced and other great selections for Dad.
Or get him a subscription to Dollar Shave Club.
