story-tellers, and singers of song.” – Pam Brown

Dad. Hero. An endless source of care and devotion. He has always been your go-to person. Before opting for simple Father’s Day gift ideas, take a minute to think of things he enjoys having and doing.

Idea 2. Gift for the Rock Star

“I love my father as the stars—he’s a bright shining example and a happy twinkling in my heart.”

- Terri Guillemets

Due to our hectic daily schedules, we don’t have much time to spend with our fathers. Let your father relive his rockstar days aka spend some cozy family time together and have him play the guitar for you! He will surely appreciate sharing his skills, rusty or not. A  Wooden Guitar Holder from custom wooden signs or cool Guitar Picks will set the tone for a jammin’ celebration.

Idea 6. Gift for a Family Man

“Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad.” - Anne Geddes

Share the day with the whole family. Play some games and reminisce about the good old days. But don’t forget about a small surprise. Fathers should be appreciated for the role they play in our lives.

Idea 7. Gift for Post-Inflation

“A father carries pictures where his money used to be.” —Steve Martin

If dad doesn’t want you to spend a lot of money, honor his wishes. Consider low-cost Static Stickers for mugs, cups, etc. Have them engraved with meaningful messages that are worth more than all the riches in the world.

Idea 8. Gift for the BBQ Champ

“A father’s words are like a thermostat that sets the temperature in the house.” — Paul Lewis, Pianist

Fire up the grill. Who loves to teach you a thing or two about how to BBQ? Dad, of course. He’s the grill master. And it’s time to get grillin’ with a custom BBQ Cutting Board.

Surely, the ideal gift depends on what kind of dad you have and what he is into. Make a Man Cave Sign to designate his favorite place in the house (or garage). Feel free to stereotype him accordingly, of course.
