I’m back with another gift guide! As I mentioned in the last article, these gifts are not just for dads.  Everyone has different likes and dislikes, so take this list with a grain of salt; I just wanted to give a few ideas! 

The Adventurous Dad 

  1. A travel wallet 
  2. A state hiking ornament 
  3. A custom mug for camping 
  4. A bluetooth fish finder? I don’t know how this works and I don’t fish, but this looks so cool.  

The Sporty Dad 

  1. Some of their favorite protein powder or preworkout 
  2. A muscle massage gun.  This is a pricier gift, but I know people that have one and swear by it. 
  3. These exercise dice that make working out fun! 

The Cooking Dad 

  1. A cheese board set! 
  2. A pasta maker
  3. An olive oil set! 

The Grilling Dad 

  1. A meat claw that makes shredding pork or chicken a whole lot easier. 
  2. A cast iron grill press to make a perfect burger. 
  3. A classic, cheesy dad shirt that he will probably wear every day or never again. 

The Tech Dad 

  1. A Tile keychain if they’re always losing their keys.  
  2. A charging docking station. 
  3. Another pricier gift, but a projector.  

The Musical Dad 

  1. A playlist! Shoutout to Madalyn for this super cute idea. 
  2. Concert tickets to see their favorite band! 
  3. Their favorite band on vinyl
  4. A new pair of headphones
