What do you do for gifts<\/a> when the man in your life is hard to shop for? I\u2019ve been trying to answer that question for years. It always seems tougher to find good gift ideas for men than it does for women.<\/p>\n Men usually aren\u2019t as happy with some herbal tea and a new skein of yarn for a knitting project. And motorcycles and football tickets are bigger ticket items. The best Father\u2019s Day gift ideas are something they\u2019ll enjoy and actually use!<\/p>\n This post includes some of the best Father\u2019s Day gifts I\u2019ve found over the years. It also includes unique Father\u2019s Day gifts other family members have enjoyed and items on their wishlists. You can also check out my Christmas gifts for men gift guide<\/a> for even more ideas!<\/p>\n If you need a great gift idea for Dad (or father figure in your life) that isn\u2019t a tie of golf balls, then read on.<\/p>\n Your dad, husband, uncle, etc., probably doesn\u2019t need a paperweight or another gift card. And a lot of gift guides for men recommend things like an Apple Watch, Apple Airpods, and gadgets like Bluetooth speakers. These give off a lot of EMF waves that I\u2019m not comfortable with.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for a gift he\u2019ll use and love, here are some of my favorite ideas for men that I\u2019ve given or that my dad mentioned he loves. You can even pair it with a heartfelt Father\u2019s Day gift card.<\/p>\n We got this amazing backyard fire pit<\/a> as the final step in our backyard makeover<\/a>. I can\u2019t say enough good things about it and it would make the perfect present for any dad! The Solo stove burns wood much more efficiently and directs heat exactly where you\u2019d want it, without the smoke. It looks super sleek too.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve worn blue-blocking glasses<\/a> for years. These glasses help reduce eye fatigue from computers and reduce blue light for better sleep. I put them on after the sun goes down each night to block the blue light from computer screens, television, and phones. These are some stylish blue-light-blocking glasses<\/a> and I like that they\u2019re metal instead of plastic.<\/p>\n This folding knife<\/a> is high-quality and something your husband or dad can use all the time. Many men carry knives that they use for anything and everything. It\u2019s handy for opening boxes, cutting threads off a sweater when you\u2019re out, etc. A folding knife (or any knife really) is a classic guy gift and a pretty safe bet he\u2019ll love and appreciate it.<\/p>\n Another really great option is this Gasper 4 Knife<\/a> from Rewild.<\/p>\n If your man is a wine drinker, wine (and maybe a decanter) is always a great gift option. It\u2019s consumable and typically lends itself to spending quality time together. Sometimes even just sipping wine on the back porch with your sweetie can be a great date night.<\/p>\n Just try to choose a high-quality organic wine. I always stick to natural wines<\/a> whenever possible, which are grown organically and lab-tested to have no mold, mycotoxins, or additives. This wine aerator<\/a> also improves the flavor of wine and removes sediment as you pour it.<\/p>\n And if Dad isn\u2019t a wine person, then maybe he\u2019d like these whiskey glasses<\/a> instead. They come in a gift set that includes whiskey glasses, a wooden storage and gift box, granite cubes to chill, and cocktail cards.<\/p>\n If Dad needs to stay hydrated on the go then a nice water bottle or tumbler can be a good gift. I like this RTIC Tumbler<\/a>. It performs as well as the high-priced Yeti, and I use mine all the time. Great for coffee, smoothies, and water.<\/p>\n This water bottle<\/a> from Clearly Filtered is another great option. It has a built-in water filter so Dad can refill it from anywhere.<\/p>\n Men are tough on wallets! My dad used to go through one every year or two. That was almost always what we knew we could get him for Christmas each year. If your husband or dad likes the best of things (that will last!) here\u2019s a wallet<\/a> from Amazon that will meet their expectations.<\/p>\n Every man needs a good notebook or journal. They\u2019re perfect for jotting down thoughts and ideas, taking notes, setting goals, and keeping track of schedules. This dot matrix bullet journal<\/a> is a popular option because it\u2019s so nice and easy to use. It also serves as a journal, calendar, and notebook in one. And at under $15, it\u2019s a great value too!<\/p>\n Another popular notebook he\u2019ll love is the Moleskine. They have many different sizes and styles available<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to come up with gifts that are both useful and fun. So when I saw this kettlebell<\/a> in the shape of a gorilla I knew it was a winner.<\/p>\n Guys will love Onnit\u2019s six-week bodyweight program<\/a> as well as their free kettlebell digital course. What I\u2019ve spent on fitness equipment doesn\u2019t even come close to a gym membership. Plus he\u2019ll save time by working out at home.<\/p>\n In between (and during) workout days I like to get some sauna sessions in for better fitness too. Try gifting Dad this portable and compact sauna blanket from HigherDOSE (they also make great PEMF mats!). Use code WELLNESSMAMA15 for 15% off<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a well-known fact that most dads consider the grill their domain. A grill upgrade<\/a> or new set of grilling tools is a classic Father\u2019s Day gift. It\u2019s the gift that keeps on giving in the form of delicious barbecue all summer long. And you can learn some tips for keeping grilling as healthy as possible here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Looking for something small for the kids to give? This gourmet BBQ spice rub and marinade set<\/a> comes in hot or mild and has a list of ingredients I can get behind. Another option is Laila Ali\u2019s spice blends. My friend Laili Ali (yes, the daughter of Mohammed Ali!) handcrafted her own line of delicious spices and seasonings with quality ingredients. Pick up some here<\/a> and get 20% off with code WellnessMama20<\/p>\n You can even make your own gift box or gift set with a variety of seasonings, marinades, and unique yet healthy food items.<\/p>\n If the man in your life likes unique tasty foods, try some of these.<\/p>\n Our family loves this Surefire flashlight and it goes with us when we travel. This flashlight is super bright and small enough to fit in a pocket. We\u2019ve had this flashlight <\/a>forever and use it for everything! It makes for a practical and functional gift for the dad in your life.<\/p>\n Some dads really appreciate a pair of warm wool socks or a new cozy hoodie. Get Dad a new beanie hat, some comfy organic joggers, or a new sustainably made blazer jacket. This company<\/a> sells organic cotton, linen, and hemp clothing with some really great options for Dad.<\/p>\n For men who have sensitive skin or really thick facial hair, natural shaving options are a great gift.<\/p>\n Disposable and conventional razors (even good ones) have a reputation for irritating skin. And then there are the toxic and synthetic chemicals in regular shaving cream. An old-fashioned style shave set is a unique gift many men will love!<\/p>\n Instead of a battery powered trimmer, try gifting a classic double-sided safety razo<\/a>r with a brush, mug, and razor stainless steel set<\/a>. Dad will go from dreading shaving to actually enjoying it. You can make homemade shaving soap for him to go in the mug (recipe here<\/a>). There are also some really good store-bought ones<\/a> available if you don\u2019t want to make it.<\/p>\n If you aren\u2019t sure your guy will go for the old-school shaving, there are cheaper sets available<\/a>. He can always upgrade to the nicer version if he likes it.<\/p>\n I have added a Jaspr air filter<\/a> to my bedroom and have been impressed with the quality from Jaspr. I can tell from the filter how much dust and air particles it has collected and it will adjust the filter according to how dirty (or smelly!) your space is. An air filter has been a game-changer for us during the seasons with more allergens in the air.<\/p>\n We often think of skincare when it comes to women, but men have skin too. If your man doesn\u2019t shave, consider a high-quality beard oil like this one.<\/a> Or make your own DIY beard oil <\/a>here.<\/p>\n He also might enjoy some homemade men\u2019s lotion<\/a> or a good-quality organic face cleanser.<\/a><\/p>\n The rumble roller is one of my favorite gifts of all time too. Basically, it\u2019s a deep tissue massage at home. It\u2019s a lot cheaper than regular massages in the long run! The big spikes make it great for athletes and people who get stressed out\/tense easily (me). The rumble roller is also the perfect gift for someone who doesn\u2019t like taking an hour out of their day to get a massage.<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t take up much room and it\u2019s wonderful for sore muscles! I use this regularly and it has made a big difference in my muscle tension. Plus, it looks manly and tough, so men don\u2019t mind using it. Here\u2019s the Rumble Roller<\/a> I got and there are two different sizes and firmness levels.<\/p>\n If I had to pick one favorite gift on this list, this would be it. There are a lot of massagers out there but the Myobuddy <\/a>is like getting a professional massage at home. This has 3 speeds and uses heat and percussive technology to work trigger points and relieve sore muscles. It\u2019s not only relaxing but is like getting a therapeutic massage at home.<\/p>\n These gifts are great because they combine a physical gift that leads to a camping experience as well. Camping is a great family activity with some major health benefits<\/a>. One study found that a week of camping without artificial light drastically improved circadian rhythm and sleep. If your guy likes camping, here are a few great gear options:<\/p>\n If your guy works on a computer a lot, a protective laptop board is a great gift. This board makes it easier to work with a laptop on your lap. It also protects the legs and stomach from the heat and radiation. We use the Defender Pad<\/a> and love it.<\/p>\n If your husband or dad has a lot of old, sentimental t-shirts, here\u2019s a fun way to get some more use from them. Instead of them sitting in a box in the closet for years, you can make a handmade keepsake quilt.<\/p>\n It uses a simple fleece backing and only takes a few hours on the sewing machine. This would be a great gift for a child or other relative as well! Get the easy tutorial and instructions<\/a> here (it really is simple to make!).<\/p>\n The dream of flying is something most men have had at one time or another. A drone is a great way to experience it by manning his own personal aircraft. There are a lot of options available now, but this is one of the better drones <\/a>on the market and would make any man a happy camper!<\/p>\n TechRadar.com<\/a> rates this drone<\/a> as an excellent budget choice (in comparison).<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for a budget-friendly gift that\u2019s also sentimental, try a scrapbook calendar. You can add your own photos from date nights, your wedding, family trips, etc. to each month. To make it extra special you can handwrite a note for each day of the year with something you love about them. These can range from heartfelt and romantic to silly.<\/p>\n They\u2019ll actually use the calendar and look forward to reading the reason you love them each day. You can make your own at Shutterfly<\/a>. To be really budget-friendly, you could even make or print the calendar on your computer and write the reasons in.<\/p>\n I make photobooks from Mixbook <\/a>for the kids every year and they\u2019re a great way to document fun memories. Try making one for Dad or your significant other!<\/p>\n I firmly believe the best gifts are often things you can\u2019t wrap. In our house, experiences always beat material gifts and we choose these whenever possible. They can also make a great last-minute gift since you don\u2019t have to wait for shipping.<\/p>\n I share all of our favorite experience-based gift ideas <\/a>here if you\u2019re looking for some ideas. If you want to give a physical gift, just make sure it\u2019s practical, useful, and long-lasting. This way it doesn\u2019t end up in the back of the closet or a landfill.<\/p>\n These are some experience based gifts for Father\u2019s Day or birthdays:<\/p>\n One thing all parents need is some time off to recharge! Find some time in the schedule for him to camp, hunt, go hiking, or play sports. If you like, buy him some gear<\/a> to go with the experience present so he has something to open.<\/p>\n Can you tell how much I love a massage?! The Melt online massage course (all PG, I promise!), makes a great gift for couples. Pair it with some homemade massage oil<\/a>. Get more details on the massage videos here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Think fishing charter with his friends, a surfing or water skiing lesson if you live by the water, or if your guy is adventurous, sky diving! Scuba certifications can make a great couple\u2019s gift too. You can go through the process together and end up with a great hobby to enjoy in the future.<\/p>\n Search your area for adventurous offerings like pole vaulting, fishing, diving, sailing, rowing, kayaking, or even juggling! Mixing it up keeps things interesting and could lead to a new date night idea<\/a> or family pastime.<\/p>\n If your man likes beer get him an organic (or at least non-GMO) beer. You can also get him a home-brewing beer kit as a fun hobby. This book<\/a> is a great guide for getting started and you can find the ingredients and supplies in-store from a local homebrew place.<\/p>\n You can get him a complete homebrew kit<\/a> here with some organic hops<\/a> to go with it.<\/p>\n Sports-related experiences are a hit with many guys. One of my biggest gifts ever was gifting tickets to spring training for their favorite team. Tickets to go see their teams play are also a big hit. These all tend to be more expensive, but it can end up being an amazing and memorable experience!<\/p>\n I suspect most husbands\/dads would love to hear more that we appreciate them! A handwritten Father\u2019s Day card and a big hug can go a long way when it comes to the perfect gift for Dad.<\/p>\nFather\u2019s Day Gift Guide<\/strong><\/h2>\n
