How next weekend is Father’s Day, and at the same time, the middle of June, is beyond me. Father’s Day is always pretty relaxed for us (but then again, most holidays are that way for our family)… we do the pool thing, a fun BBQ (usually some sort of tri tip…), and celebrate the dads. I saw this quote a few years ago and felt that it embodied what my dad was (still is) to me… and what I can hands down say that Harper and Camille would say about TJ:
“Dads are the most ordinary men turned by love into into heros, adventurers, story-tellers, and singers of songs.”
Pam Brown
And while I know my dad, nor TJ, would ever tell me what they want for Father’s Day (“I already have everything I need….”), I love giving gifts as a small way to express my gratitude and appreciation. I have a few ideas for gifts this year, and today I compiled a few gift ideas in case you’re still looking for ideas for the dad, grandpas, husbands, or people who were father figures in your life.
I also hope that everyone has a great weekend ahead!
__________
(Box Chain Necklace | Laker’s Cap | Grilling Mitt | Swim Trunks | Spikeless Golf Shoes | Golf Glove | Stainless Steel Plate | Stainless Steel Bowl | Stainless Steel Silverware | Brumate Hopsulator | Cocktail Shaker | Sphere Cocktail Ice Maker | Rowing Machine | Weekender Duffle Bag | Airmax Sneakers | Apple Airpods | Coravin Wine Preservation System)
BOX CHAIN NECKLACE: This was a gift to TJ several years ago and he never takes it off… it’s wonderfully made, and you can hang a pendant from it if desired (TJ has a cross on his).
LAKER’S CAP: So I realize this night be relatively team specific, but I think a cap with their favorite team along with maybe some tickets to a sporting event would be a great idea! And if your guy is a fan of The Laker’s this cap is a good one…. TJ picked it up before our trip last week and it has the coolest colors.
GRILLING MITT: Another favorite in our household and a great gift for any guy that likes to BBQ… these ensure the hands are safe and hairs aren’t singed (TJ learned the hard way….)!
SWIM TRUNKS: If you plan on spending a lot of time outdoors by the water this summer season these trunks are great… both my dad and TJ own them. They’re the perfect length, not baggy, and are lined. They also come in a few other colors option as well.
FOR THE GUY WHO GOLFS: If golfing is your guy’s thing and they’re in need of some new gear, TJ loves the sleek and simple design of these spikeless golf shoes, and you can’t go wrong with this golf glove (TJ’s go-to). Maybe include a round of golf with the gift as well??
FOR THE OUTDOORSY GUY: For those who love to hike, camp, and just be adventurous in the outdoors, these stainless steel plates, bowls, and silverware are an excellent gift option. Maybe you could plan an outdoor family adventure that would include an opportunity for them to use this new gear as well…
FOR A COCKTAIL LOVER: For the guy who loves to mix up a good cocktail, or just enjoy an ice cold beer by the pool or another body of water I love this cocktail shaker (we own and it’s great), hopsulator (keeps the beer nice and chilled), and these sphere ice cubes (they elevate any beverage). Maybe include a 6 pack of their favorite beer or a bottle of their go-to spirit with the gift!
CORAVIN WINE PRESERVATION SYSTEM: I’ve included this in so many gift guides, but it’s just that good! We use ours all the time and it’s such a great way to preserve a bottle of wine if you just want a glass… or it gives you the ability to do taste testing without opening multiple bottles.
ROWING MACHINE: This is such an excellent addition to any home gym. We purchased one at the beginning of COVID and TJ uses it 3-4xs a week. It’s great for a low impact workout and really gets the heart rate up! I also love these AIRMAX sneakers for working out and cross training… great for any guy who likes to workout.
WEEKENDER DUFFLE BAG: Now that travel is open again, I think this is an excellent option for the guy who travels for work, or the family that goes on lots of weekend getaways. It’s sustainably made, has a sleek design, and since it’s black will be sure to hide any scuff marks it gets in transit. Maybe plan a weekend getaway and have the destination tucked inside the duffle bag??
APPLE AIRPODS: These are the best… great for workouts, conference calls at home, and anything in between. They’re lightweight, and travel nicely. I gifted them to TJ a few years ago for Valentine’s Day and they’re still something he uses daily.
