Are you hunting for a gift for a dad who’s tough to shop for? Do you want to eliminate the guesswork and pick a specific present? If so, these first ten gift ideas are for you:

1. A personalized photo book: Compile your favorite memories with your dad into a custom photo book. You can use online services like Shutterfly or Snapfish to design and print the book.
2. A subscription box: Sign your dad up for a monthly subscription box that caters to his interests, such as a craft beer club, a grilling subscription box, or a book-of-the-month club.
3. A gift card to one of his favorite restaurants or stores: If you’re unsure what to get your dad, a gift card to one of his favorite restaurants or stores is always a safe bet.
4. A day trip or outing: Plan a fun day trip or outing with your dad, such as a hike, a visit to a museum or amusement park, or a round of golf.
5. A tool or gadget: If your dad is handy, consider getting him a new tool or gadget for his workshop. This could be anything from a new power drill to a high-tech device like a smart thermostat or a drone.
6. A book or audiobook: If your dad is an avid reader, consider getting him a new book or audiobook from his favorite author or genre.
7. A subscription to a streaming service: If your dad loves watching movies and TV shows, consider getting him a subscription to a streaming service like Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime.
8. A fitness gadget: If your dad is into fitness or technology, consider getting him a new fitness tracker or smartwatch to help him stay on track with his health and wellness goals.
9. A new accessory: Get your dad a new accessory that he can use daily, such as a leather belt, a stylish watch, or a new pair of sunglasses. Or maybe a funny mug that says “World’s Best Dad (According to Me)”?
10. A Kailo pain patch: Does the dad you’re shopping for deal with chronic pain? If so, a Kailo pain patch could be an excellent option! He can wear Kailo all day, every day, no matter what he’s up to — from fly fishing or swimming to watching the game with friends.

Whatever you choose, just remember to give your dad an extra big hug and tell him how much you love him.

10 Thematic Father’s Day Gift Ideas

If you’d like to pick something more personal for the dad you’re shopping for, these thematic gift ideas will get you started! Here, you’ll find general ideas with a few specific recommendations so you can pick a theme and come up with something from the heart

1. A personalized gift: This could be anything custom-made, monogrammed, or otherwise made just for him. For example, you might get your dad a monogrammed wallet, a coffee mug with his nickname, or a piece of jewelry with a personal message hidden away.
2. A gift that reflects his hobbies: If you’re shopping for a dad with lots of hobbies or one hobby he loves, consider getting him a gift that reflects it. Does he love to golf? Get him a new set of clubs! Is he a sports fan? Get him tickets to a game! Does he love to cook? Get him a new cookbook or kitchen gadget! Or how about a new grill for those summer BBQs?
3. A gift to make him laugh: Does your dad love to laugh above all else? If so, the best gift you can get him might be something that’ll keep him smiling. This could be something related to an in-joke, a funny book, a gag gift, or even a card with a funny joke.
4. A gift to help him relax and unwind: Some dads forget to care for themselves but still enjoy relaxing. The best way to help the dad in your life de-stress will depend on his interests, but you could try a gift certificate for a massage, a new pair of slippers, a cozy blanket, or a fishing trip for the two of you.
5. A gift to make his life easier: Are you shopping for a dad who loves practical presents and things he’ll use frequently? If so, get him something that’ll make his life easier. This could be a new tool set, a subscription to a meal delivery service, or a gift certificate for his favorite restaurant.
6. A gift to make him feel special: If you want to make the dad you’re shopping for feel special, find a thoughtful way to show him how much you care. For example, you might choose a handwritten letter, a framed photo of the two of you, or a homemade gift.
7. A gift to make him feel like a kid again: Sometimes, dads want to let go and feel like kids again, so encourage it! Think about the things that delight the dad in your life, bringing him childlike joy. This might be a remote control car, a Lego set, or a new video game console.
8. A gift to help him get healthy and fit: Shopping for a dad who loves to stay healthy and active? Try a subscription to a fitness magazine, a new pair of running shoes, or a gift certificate for a gym membership. And if he deals with chronic pain, don’t forget to throw in a Kailo Pain Patch!
9. A gift to make him feel stylish: Does the dad in your life like to feel slick and stylish? If so, how about a new watch, sunglasses, or a gift certificate to his favorite clothing store?
10. A gift to make him feel loved: The best gift is often spending time with the dad in your life on or around Father’s Day. You might go for a walk, cook him dinner, or sit and talk with him for a few hours. He’ll appreciate the time spent together more than anything else.

Regardless of what you choose, there are plenty of options to make this day extra special. What matters is that you get creative, have fun, and show your dad how much you appreciate him!
