Stuck on What to Get Dad for Father’s Day? Look No Further!

Dads and dad figures are incredible sources of inspiration, motivation, and corny jokes (the ones we love to hate). If you’re stuck on what to get dad for Father’s Day, we gathered our favorite picks into one place to make it easier to buy for the guy who “has everything he needs.” Mark your calendars for June 19th and get prepared with this shopping guide! 

Deciding What To Get Dad For Dad Doesn’t Have To Be a Struggle 

Dads are notoriously hard to buy for. Maybe he’s the sort who just buys anything he needs. Or he gives vague answers when you ask what he wants. Either way, it can be easy to default to gift cards and grilling tools when it comes to dear old dad. If you’re looking for a Father’s Day gift this year that’s equal parts unique and useful, the CVSC makes it easy! 

Here are our top ideas to get you started. 

Idea 1: Hobby-Related Gift Baskets 

Gift baskets are not just for baby showers and weddings. They can also be a unique way to gather dad’s favorite things in a thoughtful way. For example, if the dad in your life is into sports or working out, a basket from Dick’s Sporting Goods is probably the way to go. There are hundreds of variations, but start with what your dad likes best (like golfing or running) and build out from there. The “basket”  itself can also be part of the gift, like a cooler if the theme is fishing or a gym bag if it’s weight lifting. 

If your dad is more into gadgets or works from home, a basket of gear from Best Buy will probably be most useful and appreciated. Some options here could include a movie/video game lovers’ basket with the latest releases, a new controller, and some snacks. Or, you can go all out with a new piece of tech (like a digital camera or Apple Watch) and all the accessories he could need for it. 

Idea 2: Dad-Approved Pampering 

We know, we know. “Dad” and “pampering” might not traditionally go together. But everyone needs some self-care moments built into their busy lives! While this means something different to everyone, some pampering for dad ideas could include a new haircut at Regis Salon or Sports Clips, a special suit or dressy accessories from Men’s Wearhouse, or even a pedicure from Pretty Nails. The idea here is to help him find time for some much-needed “me time.” 

Idea 3: Delicious Eats 

They say the way to any dad’s heart is food. Take dad out to dinner at one of the CVSC’s favorites like Little Pizza Paradise or Shinsei Sushi. Or treat him to a delicious night in by picking up all of your summer favorites at Trader Joe’s. 

The CVSC Has You Covered On What To Get Dad 

We hope after the ideas in this shopping guide, you’ve got your Father’s Day gift on lock. Now, you can turn your attention to writing epic dad jokes that’ll keep him laughing all day long.
