Find the perfect gift for father’s day. Read this blog to discover six unique father’s day gifts that will make dad the happiest this year. 

From fun family activities to funny father’s day cards, there is no shortage of father’s day ideas available on the internet. For father’s day, give dad a gift that not only shows him how much he’s loved but also demonstrates how well you know him. Here are six unique father’s day gifts that will make dad feel warm and fuzzy inside.

 
  • Art. For father’s day, give dad the gift of a piece of art. Have a canvas made from one of his own photographs or search Etsy for original handmade art inspired by his favorite things — sports team, a movie, book series, or hobby.
  • Firepit. The gift of a modern, wood-burning firepit is one of the more versatile father’s day ideas because dad can cook on it, sit beside the fire with a beverage in hand to unwind at the end of a long day, as well as use its flames to teach kids how to make perfect s’mores.
  • Bluetooth tech. Wires are so last year. For father’s day, give dad the joy of Bluetooth technology. If dad is an audiophile, one of the best sounding father’s day gifts is a Bluetooth turntable and speaker set. If he prefers podcasts and audiobooks on his phone over putting the needle down on a vinyl record, a pair of Bluetooth earbuds will surely make him smile.
  • New fishing gear. Gift dad the thrill of reeling in a new lure, a long-sleeve UPF sun protection shirt and hat, or even a fresh set of sunblock with SPF lip balm on father’s day.
  • Potted flowers. Not only is it fun for children to get their hands dirty potting flowers, the result will be a kid-designed abundance of new life and color to sit beside dad’s favorite chair on the deck this summer.
  • Language program. What to do for father’s day for the dad who has it all? Give him the gift of language. Learning Italian, Spanish, French or any second language is also be one of the best family activities to bond over and get everyone excited about traveling to put your newfound fluency to the test!

Those are six unique father’s day ideas, what gifts are you thinking about getting for the dad in your life this year?
