If you forgot, Father’s Day is this Sunday, 6/16. Since I am a first time father celebrating Father’s Day for the first time, my wife has been asking me for gift ideas. I have never thought about gifts because I have a hard enough time to come up with gift ideas for my birthday. As I have grown older, I have enjoyed spending time with family over the material gifts. So, I like the experiences and the memories over the gifts.
With Father’s Day coming up fast, you only have a few days left to pick up a last minute gift. Some people love to shop online, but doing it this late in the game will cost you a lot with shipping fees. You might not even get the gift on time. I have decided to put together a last-minute Father’s Day gift guide that will hopefully suite your needs.
Last Minute Father’s Day Gift Ideas
- Gift Cards
Who doesn’t love a gift card to their favorite store? I am a fan of gift cards because I can get what I want. You can either get some gifts cards from specific places like Dicks Sporting Goods, Bass Pro Shop, Golfsmith, or REI. You can also just purchase a gift card that can be used at any retailer. I love the American Express gift cards. Gift cards are super easy to get and are the easiest last minute gift idea. - Grooming Products
For the fathers out there that have facial hair (like me), it is super important to stay groomed and under control. I have been cutting my own hair for the past 7 years to save money, but also because it is easy. I have a hard time using my hair trimmer with my beard, so I like a beard trimmer. My current trimmer is dying, so I am aiming my sights on the new Wahl lithium ion cordless trimmer and potentially the MacroTouch Max too. I am a fan of cordless trimmers and Wahl is my brand. It is trusted and it hasn’t failed me yet. The new Wahl charges super quick and can perform better than my current beard trimmer. - Sporting Event/Sports Day
Oh, don’t we all love some sports. A great gift idea is to buy the father in your life some tickets to his favorite sporting event. If that doesn’t work for you, then why not give him some time on the golf course or let him get together with his friends to play football. Whatever sport your husband/father likes, then give him the chance to relax while watching the sport live or playing it. - Beer Variety
I love beer. I do a lot of homebrewing and I create some flavors that I just don’t get at the grocery store. Since brewing beer for a Father, it would be better to go out and select a distinctive variety of beer. I have purchased a wide variety of beer for my father and he has loved it. I also have brewed him beer, but that took many weeks. That gift idea went over extremely well. - Free Day Off
What person doesn’t like a day off. Our lives have become very hectic and it can be hard to have a day off. Since I will be out of town this weekend, my wife decided to celebrate Father’s Day this past weekend. She gave me the whole day off and let me celebrate with my son. It was very special for me and I really enjoyed just playing with my son and not worrying about chores. She was even going to mow the lawn, but it started to rain. It is the thought that counts. This doesn’t cost a thing except for time. - Make a Favorite Meal or Dessert
Another thing that my wife did was make me my favorite dessert. I love cheesecake and my wife has an awesome recipe that I love. There is nothing better than sitting down with a nice piece of cheesecake and enjoying your day. If you have the skills, then why not cook up your husband/father’s favorite meal and serve it to him. It can go a long way and it doesn’t cost much.
So, there are my last-minute Father’s Day gift ideas. I hope you enjoyed them and gave you some ideas for this upcoming Sunday. Let me know what you are planning for this Father’s Day. Do you have any great gift ideas?
