Gift Guide For Father’s Day

Father’s Day is approaching quickly and we don’t know about you, but we find dads are the most difficult person to buy for. They’re the only person to say, “I don’t want anything” for every occasion, including Christmas, so of course, Father’s Day is no different.

We get how difficult it can be to find the perfect gift but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Whether you have just one person to buy for or multiple, we’ve compiled a list of gift ideas for every kind of dad there is. Stop stressing, and check out the list below for the perfect gift.

The Golf Dad: Golf Shirt

This is for the dad spends more time on the course than at home. They eat, sleep and breathe golf. What’s the second most important to a good set of clubs? A good golf shirt.

We recommend the Swannies Men’s Clayton Short Sleeve Polo its $75.00 at Golf Town. It comes in a light blue that will keep him cool on the course and has an adorable pocket design. 

The Tech-Savvy Dad: Smart Watch

The dad who loves anything tech will love this gift. A smartwatch that has the ability to not only tell time but track fitness activities, guide mediation and show calendar events all at the touch of one button. It can have cellular and GPS capabilities on it as well.

We recommend the Apple Watch Series 6, the latest model from Apple. Starting at $529, this is an expensive gift but worth it for dear old dad.

The Office Dad: A Tie

For the dad who spends his days at the office in the same plain style tie every day. Give him a wardrobe upgrade with a trendier tie this Father’s Day. If you feel like a tie just is not enough for a Father’s Day gift, make it personalized with a message on a tie clip.

We recommend this tie clip that says I love you on Amazon for $11.00 or Michael Kors Business Halo Dot Silk-Linen Tie for $52.50 at the Hudson’s Bay.

The Foodie Dad: A Cookbook

The dad who loves all things food. He loves cooking, especially when the recipe says to use the barbecue. He’s the first guy to try the latest restaurant and he’s always trying new recipes. Give him a gift that keeps on giving, a cookbook. He’ll always have a new recipe to try.

We recommend the Pitmasters Guide to Craft Smoking at Indigo for $19.02.

The Handy Dad: A Tool Set

This is for the dads who never stop doing things around the house. They are the light bulb changers, the bookshelf makers and the tire changers, and they love every minute of it. Get them a gift that they’ll enjoy using around the house and thank you for later, a toolset.

There are many options out there but we recommend the Worker 4-Drawer Tool Chest with 105-Piece Tool Kit from Home Depot for $119.00. 

The Music Lover Dad: Record Player

This is for the dad who is always listening to music. He likes every kind of music but says the oldies are the best. He also owns the way to many Bluetooth speakers. The one thing this music-loving dad needs is a record player, where he can play all his favourite music.

We recommend the Victrola Bluetooth Portable Suitcase Record Player. You can purchase it from Indigo for $79.00 and grab a couple records too.

Dad’s are the most difficult person to shop for, that’s why we compiled this gift guide. We hope we helped you find the perfect gift for the dads in your lives. Remember, your dad wants to spend Father’s Day with you more than a gift, so make time for him.
