Father's Day Gift Guide

The one thing I notice the older I get is that men never know what they want when it's time for a gift. I used to ask my dad every year if he wanted anything for Father's Day (which is the 16th, by the way), and he never had any suggestions. Helpful! I know a lot of people are in the same boat, so I did something special this year to help us all out. Hubsey might not be a father yet, but he IS a dude, and I know what kind of dudely things he enjoys. So here's the Hubsey-inspired list of appropriate Father's Day gifts, all from Etsy.

1. Fancy Shaving Kit. Hubsey got one for Christmas this year, and said it made his skin feel softer. He doesn't use it all the time, but if he has to shave before a big meeting, this is what he uses.




2. Meaty Cutting Board. If there was such a place as Steak Town, Hubsey would live there. He also likes to cook more than I do, and I know he would get a kick out of memorizing all of the various cow parts.


3. Leather iPad Sleeve. All of the technology holders he ever mentions are leather. I can take a hint.


4. Steak Seasonings. He not only cooks, but he grills, as a lot of men do. And new steak seasonings would make him even more excited about it.


5. Manly Geometric Coasters. Hubsey always uses a coaster. He worries about prolonging the life of our furniture, so every glass gets a buddy.


Hopefully some of you found this helpful! I actually have my Father's Day gift already (whew!) but that's only because I stumbled upon something good way back when I was Christmas shopping. It's been sitting in my office closet, waiting for its cue.

Do you have any Father's Day gifts in mind? What kind of stuff is your dad/husband into? Have you gotten him anything especially cool in the past?

  1. I can't remember what I would get my father in the past. Probably something he was just talking about at the moment or a Amazon gift card because he likes to buy music and books. However.. he's been on my shit list this year so he's just getting a card.

  2. Those spices look yummy! I still have to find a gift for my dad. We are talking about all going in on a juicer for him.

  3. I like things that are functional, goodlooking and that you can learn something from. So that cutting board is right up my alley!

  4. Just like I shared on Melissa's blog. My father is SO picky and definitely the hardest person to shop for. He's not into any gadgets or techie stuff and he's already told me not to buy him any more books lol!

  5. The meaty cutting board is cool. And the steak seasonings can come in handy during BBQ season! Great finds.

  7. My man would totally love that top one and he has a birthday coming up. Hmmmm. My dad is so difficult to buy for! He's one of those people that likes the things he likes and doesn't usually had any desire to try something other than what he has decided to like. I'd better plan again because Father's Day is coming up and I'm now six time zones away instead of my 120 miles!

  11. Great finds! Fathers Day is always hard because my father and my husband both are so challenging to shop for. Maybe they can both get and iPad sleeve, thanks for the inspiration.
