Woah. I am the ultimate procrastinator. I had every intention of getting this post up a week ago. Like many of you, I was in desperate need of some Father’s Day Gift Ideas too! I scoured the interweb and took some notes…I decided to make a super simple list of a few items that I know my husband (and other fathers) would love.
It is his first official Father’s Day and I really want to make it uber special for him because, you guys, he is uber special. Aaron really is the greatest dad to our George Bear. I knew he would be a fabulous dad but he really surprised me with how incredible + at ease he is in this new role. I think “dada” comes very natural to him.
I like to think that I’ve always had the ability to bring a smile to hubs’ face in these past (almost) 7 years but Aaron has a whole new smile in his life–when he is with George. His face lights up unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.
It is magic.
Alright, so. Here’s a few gift ideas that I think will surely be a hit for the loved daddies in your life.
What I love about the Ted Baker Clobber Bag is how sleek it looks on the outside and the inside. It is lined with the coolest blue colour + has a perfect compartment on the bottom for gadgets, cords, and all the finicky stuff with a very wide top compartment that is perfect to house all of daddy’s toiletries. And maybe a baby wipe or two ;)
My husband loves cigars, it’s kinda his thing. I gifted him with a magazine subscription for Cigar Aficionado + it really was the gift that keeps on giving. I think magazine subscriptions are a fabulous + thoughtful gift and there is definitely a mag that will suit the interests of the daddies in your life.
What father doesn’t like a good cup of coffee?! I can’t think of one. Why not gift dad with a cool mug with a side of coffee? Honestly. This gift is easy + always so appreciated. Better yet, serve breakfast in bed with the coffee hot in his new mug! Oh, and another great way to get the kiddies involved is for them to decorate a mug for daddy! There are some really great tutorials all over Pinterest ;)
I know that hubs would love to own a good ol’ official MLB baseball! It doesn’t need to be fancy, signed, or boxed up! Hubs wants to hold it, toss it, catch it, and use the thannnng. This is a perfect gift for baseball loving dads…and you can also totally splurge on autographed baseballs + display them in a super cute case!
Is daddy-o a little scruffy? And not in a good way? The Dollar Shave Club is another incredible subscription gift + will make sure that dad stays nice and groomed. The gift that keeps on giving…for everyone!
Whiskey. Whiskey. Whiskey. I can’t stand the stuff but it is up there on my hubs’ favourite drinks sooooo these glasses are super sleek + are created to enhance the aroma, flavour, and experience of your whiskey. I could totally have these glasses our bar cart.
So, my husband has been really interested in mixing up some night caps once GBB goes to sleep + he’s getting better at creating delicious drinks. I won’t lie, the first couple of “experiments” nearly killed me…so strong/gross/hilarious. And the most amazing part of my husband’s bartending is the way he mixes the drinks; it’s kinda a “you-have-to-be-there” thing but trust me when I say his wrist could use the break + this stainless steel mixing spoon is just the tool to help!
I hope this gives a few fun last minute ideas for the lovely daddy(ies) in your life!
Happy Father’s Day weekend!
