Gifts for Dads Who Love Grilling

What does one get the dad who has barbecue brisket down to a science and spends an alarming amount of time at the grill 12 months out of the year, you ask? We have some ideas. A custom apron is a must for any dedicated Grill-Meister, and you can’t go wrong with the waxed canvas design from Mark & Graham. Pair his apron with matching grill gloves, a high-tech meat thermometer or a pro-worthy wood smoking set.

Gifts for Dads Who Love Sports

Earn a win with your sports-fanatic dad with a gift inspired by his weekend golf matches or sports team. Take his tailgating arsenal to the next level with a collegiate football tumbler or personalized football field cheeseboard. Another idea: Give him unmatched reading material with a custom, leather-bound coffee table book filled will newspaper articles reporting on his favorite football team through the years. Treat the avid golfer to one-of-a-kind finds like a leather score holder, and spoil the baseball fan with an heirloom-worthy bottle opener crafted from authenticated game-day bats swung by MLB players from his team.

Gifts for Dads Who Love To Travel

Whether he travels a lot for business or pleasure or both, good travel gear is a must. For the dad who has likes comfort and has great style anywhere he goes, this Luxe Traveler Knit Hoodie & Short Set is a great upgrade to his baggy sweats that he would usually wear to the airport. If he loves to bring coffee on the road or even just on his commute, this insulated Stanley travel mug, available in several colors, is a great budget-friendly gift idea. If he stays in hotels often, this clever packing organizer our staff loves will make his life easier — you pack everything in the divided compartments like packing cubes, and it lays flat in your suitcase. When you arrive at your destination, you simply hang the organizer up with the two attached hooks for easy access.

If he loves practical gifts and always needs to be connected, this portable power bank is a must-have travel item. Fully charged, it has enough power to recharge a phone four whole times, and that's not an exaggeration — I've used it myself. Speaking of charging, you can help your dad stay organized and powered up with a roll-up wireless charging mat. Meanwhile, if his luggage could use an upgrade, we love this stylish carry-on from Delsey in this handsome chocolate brown color.

Gifts for the Dad Who's Handy

Dads often moonlight as the unofficial maintenance worker, carpenter, plumber and mechanic for our households. Give your hardworking, handy dad some tools to help him help you and make his job a little easier along the way. A quality toolbox or bucket allows for easy transport of his gadgets across the house, and a work apron will keep his clothes stain-and-smudge-free while he lends his expertise.
