- For the dad with little ones
Dr. Seuss’s I Love Pop!: A Celebration of Dads, $7.95
I mean come on, how cute is this?! There’s not one dad out there that wouldn’t love receiving this book from their kid. Aside from reading this together, you can personalize it even more by having your kids write notes for dad throughout the book. It’ll easily become his new favorite book.
- For the “dad cap” lovin’ dad
Life is Good Sunwashed Chill Baseball Cap, $26
Nothing screams “dad” more than a good ole’ Life is Good baseball cap.
- For the grill master dad
Better Dweller Wood Grill Scraper, $25
It wouldn’t be a true gift guide for men if I didn’t include some sort of grilling accessory. Sorry, I don’t make the rules, I just work here. Replace your dad’s old grill brush with this brand new all-natural wood grill scraper that won’t deteriorate before his eyes. In addition to impressing him with this high-quality grilling accessory, this wooden grill scraper can also help eliminate the annoying inconvenience of bristles falling off and the uncertainty that these remnants could ruin someone’s masterfully grilled steak.
- For the travel dad who hasn’t updated his luggage
KOMALC Genuine Buffalo Leather Toiletry Bag, $34.99
Men aren’t typically known for keeping up to date with quality luggage and travel bags. If it gets the job done then they tend not to care as much about the quality compared to us women. Ironically, that’s what makes this a great gift idea. An adult man whose toiletry bag has been the same since puberty will greatly appreciate a luxurious, high-quality leather bag to replace it with.
- For the work-from-home dad
