As Father’s Day approaches, it’s time to start brainstorming a gift. If your dad is like many others, he’s near-impossible to buy gifts for.
You could do what you did last year…get him a pair of socks or a set of golf balls.
Instead, consider doing something a little different this time around. Make a concerted effort to find something that will suit his needs and activities.
For Dads into Tech
With modern technology coming up with great products all the time, a brand new gadget for dad could be the perfect gift.

For the Great Outdoorsman

Consider getting a personal water filter or a pair of binoculars that could be perfect for his purposes.
Personal Water Filters
The following contains some of the best-rated and highest quality water filters for use in camping, hiking and the great outdoors.
- LifeStraw – This is the easiest, smallest and lightest water filter available today. All you do is place the straw into a reservoir of unfiltered water and begin drinking. It removes 99.9% of protozoa along with bacteria. For around $20, it’s a steal for its efficacy and efficiency.

For Foodie Fathers
Almost all fathers love food. But if yours is a major food buff, there might be something below to get your brain cranking on a proper present.
- Molcajete and Tejolote – Akin to the traditional mortar and pestle, this is an old-world earthware classic from Mexico. It offers a time-honored way to grind and powder a variety of foods like homemade guacamole and fresh-ground spices. The price can range as low as $35 up to $50.
- Death Star Waffle Maker – Start breakfast with the ‘force’ for around $40. This is a perfect gift for any Star Wars fan, but it will definitely make for an interesting Father’s Day breakfast.
For Dad’s Wet Bar
If your father has a personal bar, a gift to enrich his drink-making capabilities might be right on point.
Any spirit connoisseur should get a kick out of either of these fabulous gift ideas:
- Whiskey Decanter and Rocks Glasses Set – Whiskey is a spirit to sip and enjoy slowly. If your father loves to entertain guests often, you can get a set containing four to eight glasses. So, prices can range depending on if you choose tempered glass, stainless steel, or high-quality crystal.
- Cocktail Mixer Set – In the event your father loves to play mixologist, there are a host of cocktail mixer sets. You can get one that has a shot glass, strainer, and shaker for $25 or one that also includes stirring sticks and a recipe book for as much as $50.

No matter what kind of man your father is or what types of things he likes, hopefully, this list will have inspired you to do something a little extra fun for him this year.
