Father's Day Gift Guide
Thoughtful gift ideas (that they'll actually want) for the father or father-figure in your life
Father’s Day is only weeks away, so we wanted to share a few of our favorite gifts that we know they will love. Whether he’s a backyard griller, a coffee enthusiast, a style-savvy guy, or someone who just appreciates a good night’s sleep, this guide has a little something for every kind of dad (or dad figure).
Skip the stress-shopping and find the perfect gift to show him how much he’s appreciated below!
Dewalt Power Tool Combo Kit: We live for a good DIY weekend, and this Dewalt set is basically the holy grail. Everything you need, in one place, and tough enough to survive even our “we’ll wing it” projects.
Magnetic Screw Wristband: We didn’t know we needed this until we tried it. It holds screws, nails, and all the little stuff that always ends up in your mouth. Game-changer.
Laser Level: Hanging shelves, pictures, or arguing about what’s actually “straight”, this little guy settles it every time.
RayBan Sunglasses: Timeless, classic, and somehow make us feel 10% more handsome. These are our go-to for road trips or pretending we’re cooler than we are.
Seersucker Swim Trunks: These trunks give beach wedding energy, even if you’re just at the kiddie pool. Light, breezy, and actually cute on everyone.
Personalized Wood Engraved Watch and Gift Box: It’s giving thoughtful and handsome. We got these for Father’s Day once and they were a hit—feels special without being over the top.
Brown and Red Striped Button Up Shirt: Something about this one just looks like summer. Easy to dress up or down, and the colors are subtle but still interesting.
Echo Show 8: We use ours for checking the weather, timers, and watching recipe videos while pretending we’re on Food Network.
Blue and White Striped Button Up Shirt: Classic, coastal, and makes you feel like you should be holding a lemonade on a front porch somewhere.
Wood Smoker Chips: If your grill game needs a boost, these are chef’s kiss. Makes everything taste like you’ve been slow-smoking it for hours—even if you haven’t.
Green Button Up Shirt: A pop of color that still feels neutral. One of those shirts that somehow always makes it into the suitcase.
Personalized Cutting Board: Such a sweet gift—great for newlyweds, housewarmings, or just because. We keep ours out on the counter because it’s actually that cute.
Adjustable Dumbells: Perfect for quick at-home workouts, especially when we’re not feeling the gym. Bonus: they don’t take up the whole room.
Temp Controlled Smart Mug: Keeps coffee at the exact temperature so it never goes cold halfway through an email.
Massage Gun: Our backs? Saved. This thing is like bringing the chiropractor home with you. Worth every penny.
Smart Water Bottle: Reminds us to drink water, which we never do enough of. Glows gently like it’s saying, “Hey, babe, hydrate.”
Personalized Whiskey Decanter Set: If you’re gonna pour a drink, make it a moment. We gave this to a friend and now we want one too.
Fitbit Inspire 3: Great for keeping an eye on steps, sleep, and pretending you didn’t just sit for six hours straight editing photos.
Kindle Paperwhite: Lightweight, waterproof, and easy on the eyes. Reading in bed without disturbing your husband = priceless. Our kids have them, too, and love reading on them!
Camo Trucker Cap: PJ’s favorite hat! Cute, rugged, and hides bad hair days. What more do you want?
Iced Coffee Maker: No more sad watered-down iced coffee. This thing actually makes it right.
Firewood Candle: Smells like a cozy cabin without needing to actually build a fire.
Retro Game Stick: All the classic games from your childhood, right on your TV.
Cast Iron Skillet: The real MVP of the kitchen. Heats evenly, lasts forever, and makes everything taste like you know what you’re doing.
Hot Sauce Set: If you like flavor with a little drama, this one’s for you. Great gift for your spicy friend—or just your spicy self.
Smart Meat Thermometer: Take the guesswork out of grilling. Sends alerts to your phone so you don’t burn the steaks while getting distracted by the kids.
Camping Hammock: Packs up small but sets up fast. Whether it’s for naps in the backyard or trips to the woods, it’s a must.
Personalized Wallet: Clean, slim, and makes a statement without screaming. We love a gift that’s actually useful.
Beard Grooming Set: Everything you need to keep that beard looking intentional instead of “I gave up.” Comes in a nice kit too.
Personalized Hammer: Okay this is the cutest. “Love built this” vibes. Great gift for dads, grandpas, or your favorite handy babe.
5.5" Shorts: PJ’s favorite shorts! Short enough to be fun, long enough to not panic your mom. These are the sweet spot for summer.
Comfy Pajamas: We have 4 different pairs of these. Soft, breathable, and not embarrassing to be seen in. Basically our uniform after 7 PM.

Thanks for the reminder about Father’s Day coming soon. I think it is definitely important that I show the love and respect that I have to my stepson who is a father.
I tried my best to raise him when he was little, even though he wasn’t of my flesh and blood. He meant so much then and he still does now.
Oh my goodness! SO many gifts my husband would love (and he’s difficult to shop for). Thank you!! Happy (early) Father’s Day, PJ & Thomas! 💕
