You likely grew up giving all of the dads in your life Father’s Day gifts, be they your parent, grandfather, uncle, cousin or friend. So let’s take a minute and do some math: this likely equates to dozens (hundreds?) of presents you’ve wrapped and given over the years. So what happens when the year comes that you realize you’ve checked off every usual gift on the list? Ties? Check. Socks? Double-check. Beer-brewing kit? Check (and maybe still in the box).
From Father’s Day gift ideas for new dads, to presents that’ll surprise the guy you’ve been shopping for for decades, this list is a trove of exciting, thoughtful surprises for some of the most special caregivers in your life. And they cover a wide variety of interests, from biking to driving, from reading to eating, from relaxing to grooming. And they’ll meet your budget where it is, with goodies coming in as low as $5, and splurges that’ll turn his yard into a fun-filled staycation retreat (personalized cornhole boards, anyone?). You’ll likely want to steal a thing or two for yourself. Just try pairing any of these presents with a free gift of love that’ll show your meaning goes far deeper than your wallet.
