We know it’s tricky finding a one-of-a-kind gift for the big guy in your life. Father’s Day—a day for dads, uncles, big brothers, or any man who’s been there for you when you needed him the most— comes year after year, and still stumps people on what to get that will make him smile. A shiny new tech gadget, a stash of quality grooming essentials or golfing gear are usually a safe bet. But if you’re looking to surprise him with a unique Father’s Day gift, we’re here to help with some great gift ideas for dad.
Gift For: The Grilling Guru
If he’s always the showrunner behind the grill at every barbecue, then it’s safe to say he knows his way around marinades and dry rubs. Ensure his spice cabinet is well-equipped with top-notch rubs to take your chicken, burgers, and steaks to the next level. The BBQGuys Signature x Spiceology Rubs & Spices gives you a selection of three unique rubs features flavors based on local cuisine from the BBQ hubs of the U.S.: the Carolinas, Kansas City, and Memphis. Test out the sweet and tangy mustard-based flavors in the Carolina blend as a base on pulled pork; or impress your guests with the bold, savory flavor with notes of garlic and paprika in the Memphis rub on your rack of ribs!
Gift For: The Keen Eye
Whether for taking in the ballgame, hiking, or bird watching, a good pair of binoculars can give you a magnified view of objects, while also delivering a brighter and more detailed image. The large objective lenses collect more light than the naked eye, letting you see a larger collection of stars and nebulae in the night sky, and finer details in wild birds and flowers. Nikon’s ACULON Binoculars are extremely portable, weighing in at less than 10 ounces, making it easy to take with you on an outdoor adventure.
Gift For: The Patient Fisherman
Spending hours on the boat waiting for a nibble on your line can be taxing. The last thing he’d want is to wish he was in a different change of clothes. But the PFG Tamiami Shirt was designed with both movement and cool comfort in mind. The Tamiami features wicking, sun-shielding fabric and a versatile look that can be fashioned on or off the water, making it ideal for fishing, but also for just enjoying the outdoors. Its mesh-lined back vents let the refreshing breeze pass through in even the hottest, muggiest weather. Plus, there’s a rod holder on the chest and plenty of low-profile pockets free up your hands. What could be better? (Aside from landing that bigmouth bass, of course!)
Gift For: The Competitive Guy
He’s always up for a challenge. A bet. A game. Let his competitive spirit light up when he sees his new Brunswick V-Force 2.0 Air Hockey Table. A state-of-the-art table that features an imbedded dual abacus scorer, aluminum rails with powder-coated metal corners to accelerate the action, and scuff-proof “ice” that helps keep the table looking sharp even after hours of intense play. The V-Force 2.0 lays seven-feet long and has adjustable leg levelers to guarantee a perfectly horizontal playing field. He’ll invite his buddies over for a few rousing rounds – that is, after he gets in his practice time to brush up on his skills beforehand.
Gift For: The Bearded Bro
Those who rock a clean stache and beard know that their facial hair is the first thing people recognize about them. Beards will look better and feel better if they are taken care of. The Male God Beard Kit offers a complete at-home beard grooming experience that will help keep his beard in tip-top shape. The non-greasy and fast absorbing beard oil is made of premium material that won’t clog pores, while the moisturizing balm conditions and softens the beard, repairing dry and damaged hair.
So, with these great gift ideas for dad you should have no problem finding something for that special man in your life.
