If you're stuck trying to find a Father's Day gift that doesn't feel generic, I've made this list for you :) I pulled together a bunch of personal & unique ideas that would make any dad feel seen… and he might even laugh a little. These picks are all thoughtful, under $50, and full of heart. Every item here feels special - because dad deserves a little more effort that a last-minute checkout line grab. I few of these I actually designed myself (the embroidered ‘new dad’ hat and the mug), and many of these I've actually purchased for my dad or my husband on Father's Day.
Dad has a spot on the sofa.. or a favorite chair. So this pillow marks his spot, and no one is allowed to steal it. Have dad stand against a blank wall and take a picture of him pointing down, but don't tell him what it's about. He's used to your wei...
Dad's Spot on the Couch (Pillow)
His toddler can use his back as a roadway for their trucks and cars. Hopefully dad can catch a nap while they play :) This idea is so cute, I can't even stand it! #affiliate
Tracks on the Back - Shirt
This is a really nice and subtle bracelet for dad for Father's Day. You can choose silver, gold or black for the band, and select the number of beads on the bracelet. The beads look cool with D-A-D or his kid's names on them. #affiliate
Personalized Bracelet
This is a great gift from the kiddos! There are two slots for pictures (one on each side) and you can personalize the words to fit your family. This is for a dad who knows stuff and fixes things. :)
Double Photo Custom Mug (with Tools)
This dad will really appreciate this little bluetooth tracker. He can attach it to his keys or slip it in his wallet, and he won't have to run around the house looking for his important stuff. He can check his phone and find the thing he lost. This doesn't really work if he can't find his phone though… #affiliate
Dad loses stuff all the time!
I think somehow this shirt makes a guy 150% hotter. Dad might like the boost! haha I love the color palette, and the style is retro and rustic and cool. Perfect if he is a hunter, but really any outdoorsy dude would like this I think.
Retro Sunset T-Shirt (for an Outdoorsman)
OMGosh, this is fantastic! So dad is a builder? or a woodworker or something… he is reminded how much he is loved every time he reaches for his measuring tape. Check out the listing for ways to personalize this one. I really love this!! #affiliate
Dad's Measuring Tape
You can even have this personalized with some etched words on the back. I think the personalization inches the price above $50, but I had to include this watch on the list because it is so darned cool! Great for a dad who likes to build stuff and work with wood. #affiliate
Watch for a Woodworker
I love this bottle for an Outdoorsy Dad because of the quality of the brand and the collapsible handle. It can still slide in and out of pockets, but it is comfortable to hold. If he doesn't like drinking directly from the bottle, he can use the detachable cup to drink from. This water bottle comes in black and orange as well. Very cool for the dudes. #affiliate
Stanley Bottle with Collapsible Handle
I would have ‘DAD’ on the front, but you can choose anything you want! I love this modern design, very distinct yet simple. You can choose the color of the embossing, and the color of the leather as well. Parents used to carry family photos around in their wallets. These days, some people don't even carry wallets because the phone is taking over our life :) But this keychain is hiding a little secret… haha #affiliate
Personalised Daddy Photo Keyring
Dad's first crop top. Many dads would appreciate a good pun on Father's Day. Great for wearing to the next family BBQ!
Punny Dad Joke T-Shirt
I know socks are boring… but…. So My husband was a beefy man. He had very thick and muscular legs and arms. Socks ALWAYS dug into his ankles and left marks on his skin. These particular socks are made for people who suffer with diabetes. The cuffs are VERY stretchy and won't dig into a thicker or swollen ankles. They are seriously awesome, and I got huge points for giving these to him for Father's Day. #affiliate
Socks (I know... but hear me out!)
If you just personalize the front of this wallet, it keeps the price under $50. I love the simplicity of this beautiful wallet. Nothing fancy, but really quite elegant. Exactly what he needs. #affiliate
Personalized Leather Wallet
I love this idea for a guy who just recently became a dad. You can choose the cap color and the color of the embroidery thread, and personalize the word and the year his first child was born. Brilliant!
Personalized 'New Dad' Embroidered Cap
Dad has waaaaay too many caps (according to the rest of the family), but why not let him display them nicely on the wall? The hats won't be stuffed in a corner of the closet anymore, they can be properly displayed so he can find what he wants right away. And the hat isn't damaged by being stored this way! #affiliate
Cap Rack
Simple and quite elegant, this cell phone stand is actually nice. I find phone stands to be quite boring, utilitarian and just functional. This one looks nice with a warmer and modern interior decor. You could get a few for the family while you're at it, so they match. (The price is right:) #affiliate
Wooden Phone Stand
I chose this one because it's so unique. This dad likes beer AND Star Wars! But the idea is just that you can get him a cool sampler pack from your local liquor store. The more local the better, because if he finds a particular beer he loves, he can find it again :) #affiliate
