Curated, Kinda

I always try to think a little outside the box for Father’s Day gifts for my husband. After so many years, it feels like you start repeating! Here are some gifts that have been well-loved, and are beyond the traditional tie and mug combo. Affiliate links included. If you click and buy, I might earn a small commission (no extra cost to you!).

LEGO Set

These are always a winner in my house. I think one of their Icons set would be a winner for any dad. The Endurance ship is a super fun build that wouldn’t be out of place on display on your bookshelf. Same for the

The PAC-MAN Arcade is perfect for your guy who likes to game. And for the car enthusiast, you can get him the Porsche 911 or Lamborghini of his dreams. In miniature. And depending on their age, it’s a fun activity the kids can help with!

Neon Sign for Work Background

When you work from home, you want to make sure your background is Teams/Zoom-ready. Why not add a conversation piece to the wall or bookshelf? This “On Air” neon sign is a great option to add some fun and personality to the backdrop.

This could also be fun for a gamer! And there are so many other possibilities, even custom options for a budget price!

Nike Sneakers

Whether he’s a sneakerhead or just likes comfortable shoes, Nike sneakers are a great option for Father’s Day. The possibilities are endless. If you want to try for something more exclusive, you can try to win a drop on Nike’s SNKRS App. Make sure you fill out all of the check-out information ahead of time, know his shoe size, and set your alarms for the next drop date.

I’ve gotten my husband these amazing Wizard of Oz SB Dunk Low Pro’s as well as some other really fun pairs. If you’re looking for something in particular, you can also check out StockX, a sneaker resale site. There’s also the option to make a completely custom shoe on Nike’s site. That’s how my husband got his Christmas-themed sneakers for holiday parties. You can’t have too many sneakers, in my husband’s opinion!

Matching Father/Kid Shirts

These matching father and kids shirts are so cute, no matter the age! I got this pizza matching set with an adult shirt and baby body suit in green for my husband’s first Father’s Day, and there are tons of colors and design options.

Hats

I feel like we’re having a moment with fun hats. And similar to sneakers, my husband would attest that you can never have too many hats. One of his favorites is this GOAT hat. The fit is great, and it’s something not everyone has.

If you can keep a secret, this Have A Day hat is in the cart for this Father’s Day.

Steak Knives

Had to have one meat-related item on the list. These Laguiole stainless steel knives are my choice.

They have a great feel and weight to them and come with their own storage tray! They also have a classic look, cut well, and are easy to clean. We’ve had ours for years with no issues! A winning item for any dad!

Specialty Glasses for Drink of Choice

Ok, and just one drink-related item. A specialty glass for their drink of choice is always a hit. I think it makes the drink feel a little more special than just out of the can or in a regular rocks glass. These Glencairn glasses get a lot of use, and it’s nice to get glassware in a smaller set to cut down on the storage space needed.

If your guy is more into microbrews, these Teku glasses for craft beer are also in heavy rotation in our house.

So there are a few of my favorite Father’s Day choices! Hopefully, this is helpful for your list this year. Be sure to share any ideas with me in the comments!
