Father’s Day is just around the corner and we’re here to give some major props to dads around the world for putting up with us. Though you can’t reciprocate the gift of life, you can give them the gift of some stereotypical dad gifts. If you’re one of those kids who’s more of last-minute gift shopper, that’s okay, we’re here for you. For more help, we even categorized each section, so you can find gifts for whatever type of “dad” your dad might be.
Gifts for Football Dads
When football season comes around, friends and family spend a lot more time together. We can totally see why, it’s a great excuse to surround the TV and have a beer with people you love. Do you ever notice during football games, beer is an atmosphere changer? With every beer, people tend to scream and cheer increasingly louder. Keep the party going with the inflatable fantasy football cooler!
Sip Caddy (Shower Beer Caddy)
This thing makes people laugh every time they see a picture of it, but is it handy. It safely holds a bottle (and even safer) a can of beer for those that you know we all enjoy. There’s just something about a cold brew in a hot shower after a long day or a workout. The Sip Caddy just works. It’s not flashy, it’s not trying to win any award, butt works and works well.
I also never considered the options, but apparently, this makes a great gift for bath takers as well. SipCaddy is the only portable cup holder in the world that also holds wine glasses! Attach it to nearly any smooth surface to conveniently hold beer cans, bottles, cups, and many other household items. A favorite in the bath and shower! SipCaddy is made of strong, durable, recyclable ABS plastic, cleans easily and is dishwasher safe. SipCaddy includes the highest quality suction cup available, American-made, and rated to hold 7 lbs. when applied correctly to most glossy, nonporous surfaces, including plastic, ceramic, metal, glass and mirror.
SipCaddy was designed and developed by a small team of drinking enthusiasts, architects, and designers, led by two brothers. The designs were extensively prototyped using 3D printing, which allowed us to test and fine tune SipCaddy to hold the widest range of drinks possible, with the most efficient use of material and a clean look.

Gifts for Creative Dads
Is your dad a goof? For some reason when we’re younger, dad jokes are one of the cruelest things a dad can do around you and your friends, but fast forward to being an adult and somehow they’re hilarious? We guess they’re somewhat of an acquired taste. We aren’t sure how that works, but now that you’re old enough, be the best child and feed his hunger for cringe-worthy jokes. You are going to love these cards.
Love Pop Cards
If you are looking for a super easy and super affordable way to send love this Father’s Day you can do that through a great Father’s Day card. Finding a Father’s Day card that fits can sometimes fit can be a challenge. It may not be easy to find that right words; Lovepop has put together 15 meaningful Father’s Day messages to help you compose the perfect card for Dad. Father’s Day is an important day that helps acknowledge the contribution of fathers to individual families. It also gives children an opportunity to express their love and respect for their dads.
I love that these cards say the things that we may not be able to. Some of the inspiration quotes include the following:
- Dad. You have given me the best things in life: Your time, your care, and your love. I am truly grateful to have you in my life. Happy Father’s Day!
- Thanks for acting like a kid when I was a kid, acting like a friend when I needed a friend, and acting like a parent when I needed one. You are the best man I know. Happy Father’s Day
I know when my dad was still with us, he loved getting a card, and I am sure your dad will love this line also.
Gifts for Outside Dads
You’ll know that dads are the hardest people to buy for, men, in general. If your dad is an outdoor dad, one who loves his garden or is king of fixing things then relax I have got the perfect gift for you.
Crescent Lufkin Shockforce and Crescent Lufkin Shockforce Nite Eye Tape Measures
Crescent Lufkin Shockforce and Shockforce Nite Eye tape measures feature a patent-pending two-sided blade design and 14′ of standout. The compact design features metal “roll bars” to protect the lock button against drop impact damage, while the simulated diamond-coated end hook is said to provide 50% more hook grasp to prevent surface slippage.
The Crescent Lufkin Shockforce Tape Measure boasts about its durability over everything else. In hand, it’s certainly impressive. 4 screws hold the tape together – the 5th in the center just hold the clip.
4 rivets hold the clip in place instead of the standard 2 or 3. The blade gets a nylon coating that is the standard several manufacturers use to prevent scraping off the print. It’ll still happen, it just takes much longer than with cheap tapes.
Rubber overmold covers the majority of the housing and metal roll bars protect the lock. It’s a tough enough build that Lufkin claims you can drop it from 100′.
The printed marks are 1/16″ and you have your standard bold stud highlights every 16″ and truss diamonds every 19-3/16″. Both the standard and Nite Eye versions of the Crescent Lufkin Shockforce Tape Measure were dead on at hitting its measure.
I know that this will the perfect gift for dad in your life who loves to work outside and on fixing things around the house. To purchase the Shockforce check it out at you’d like to use: For Shockforce https://amzn.to/2YYz72q and For Shockforce Nite Eye – https://bit.ly/2XfhIls.
These are the most durable tapes we’ve tested and they have the longest standout as well. With two blade patterns and multiple lengths to choose from, they’re definitely in the conversation with the top names.

Ryan Seacrest Distinction Collection
Unless you have not turned on your television in a couple of years, then you have probably heard of Ryan Seacrest. His clothing line, Ryan Seacrest Distinction, is a really good one. With Father’s Day around the corner, we know how we love to give dad’s ties for Father’s Day and this line has some great ones.
Men in general have historically been deficient in mixing and matching patterns and colors. For those who don’t have a solid grasp of color theory, shopping for stylish business attire can truly be a nightmare. What the Ryan Seacrest Distinction line seeks to do is simplify the entire process with a numerical system for easy reassurance on coordinating your attire.
The line is all encompassing, with suit separates, dress shirts, ties, pocket squares, and other small accessories. Everything is based around a numerical color matching system: Black (01), Grey (02), Blue (03), and Brown (04). Each item has one or more numbers listed on their label, the idea being that all you need to do is match up the numbers and you have a cohesive look. It’s basically a color by number for men’s style.
Ryan Seacrest Distinction features the Style Made Smart color matching system which allows customers to coordinate various shirts, ties, and jackets with ease, knowing each item will match and look great when paired together. Jackets, pants, shirts, and ties are labeled with numbers from four color groups (black, grey, blue or brown), making it easy to create a perfectly-coordinated look. Shirts and ties are designed to match with two or more of the color groups, generating many tasteful options.
These ties are perfect for Father’s Day.
Absolute Zero Gamma Foil Shaver
This special edition professional Finishing Foil Shaver offers ultra-thin and hypo-allergenic gold titanium foils and staggered, independently floating cutters. Gamma+ Italia Absolute Zero Foil Shaver can be used corded or cordless. It features a unique USB-charge cord and a lithium-ion battery that charges to full strength in as little as 30 minutes for a remarkable 120 minutes of continuous run-time. If you are looking for a shaver for your dad this Father’s Day this is the perfect one.
The Absolute Zero is a foil-style electric shaver with a pop-up trimmer. It is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion internal battery. A novel feature is that it recharges via USB, eliminating a dedicated charging power adapter.
There really isn’t any setup, other than charging the shaver. It only takes about a half-hour to recharge. The micro-USB port is located on the bottom of the shaver. Plugging in the shaver turns the status LED red.
The LED turns green when the charging is complete. With a two-hour runtime, assuming a five-minute daily shave, you should be able to go nearly four weeks between charges.
One nice touch is that as long as the shaver has at least a basic charge, you can use the shaver while plugged in. That means that even if the battery is really low and needs a charge, you can still get a shave in before you walk out the door.
There is a single switch on the front of the shaver. Pushing it up turns on the shaver. The trimmer is on the back of the shaver. Pushing it up turns it on, provided that the shaver is already running. The cutters vibrate rapidly back and forth, just underneath the foil, immediately cutting any hair they encounter. The cutters are replaceable. Grasp a cutter on the sides and pull up to release. Then, snap a new cutter back in place. The shaver ships with two replacement cutters.
The foils themselves are a gold and titanium mixture, allowing for a very thin and flexible surface. They feel very smooth to the touch and should reduce potential irritation. The thin foils should provide a close shave. The foils are also hypoallergenic. The shaver is very light at 4.6 ounces. It will fit easily in your hand and glide over the shaving area.
With its sharp Italian design and overall good functionality, this is a capable little shaver. It is priced reasonably and certainly gets the job done. If you’re looking for a new foil shaver with good battery life and simple USB charging, the Gamma+ Italia Absolute Zero is worth a look. With its small size, light weight and no need for a specific charging adapter, this is a terrific travel shaver.
