A Holiday Gift Guide for Dads

So far we’ve done a holiday gift guide for moms, toddler holiday gift ideas, stocking stuffer ideas for moms, unique grandparents gift ideas and now we’re onto the dads. I swear — dads are the hardest to shop for! They’re selfless and don’t “need” anything but of course, they still deserve a little spoiling just as much as us mamas do. So I put together a little round up of gift ideas for dads — some useful and some just fun — and I hope it sparks some great ideas for ya!

9 Holiday Gift Ideas for Dads


1. Remote Control Gadgets

I swear, the best gifts I get my husband are totally unnecessary but he loves them like a kid. I’ve gotten him mini remote control helicopters, drones, remote control cars. If it has a remote control, he will love it.

2. Man Crates

These things are GENIUS. We’ve purchased a couple but my favorite is that Beef Jerky Box! I got it for my dad and for my husband and it was totally a hit! But if you have no clue what to get a dad in your life, you NEED to browse the Man Crates website — so many great ideas!

3. Wallets

When was the last time your husband got a new wallet? I swear, they last forever but sometimes, forever means money is falling out left and right. It’s something he will use and something he will love and it’s something he probably wouldn’t upgrade on his own.


4. Watches

I don’t know about your husband but my husband loves watches so you can never go wrong with one ‘em. And the best part is they come in all different price ranges!


5. Make You Own Beer Kit

I saw this one on Etsy a while back and got it for my dad and in my eyes, it’s just so brilliant and so fun!


6. Coats

A new coat for the snow or for the rain, it’s probably something he hasn’t upgraded in a while but will totally get plenty of good use! And who doesn’t love to upgrade their husband’s wardrobe? I know I do!


7. Date Night or Staycation

This one isn’t too fun on Christmas day because it’s not a “thing” but I promise, a date night or staycation with or without the kids is something he will absolutely LOVE. Go somewhere he’d love to go and make it all about him and his likes!


8. Shaving Kit

I mean, you just can’t go wrong with a shaving kit. Am I right or am I right? I got my husband a new Gillette Holiday Shaving Kit and he raves about it. And it’s super useful and super used and those kind of gifts always make the best kind of gifts!


9. The Dad Hoodie

A gift idea for a new dad? Here it is, folks! This actually popped up on my Facebook feed as an ad and I thought it was totally funny but totally brilliant at the same time!
