Unique Gifts To Get Your Dad For Father's Day

by Kiersten Hickman

I’m sure by this point in life you are exhausted of Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. You have brainstormed clever gifts for years, and as Father’s Day approaches, you are coming to a dry well. No more clever ideas for Dad — so you end up succumbing to a gift card inside whatever corny Father’s Day card you could find. Well, I’m sorry to tell you, but that will not be this year! With these unique Father’s Day gift ideas, you will yet again win at the Father’s Day gift giving game against your siblings.

Now first, what does your dad like? Is he a runner? Loves nights out on the deck? Enjoys a great new pair of shoes (or even just a shoe shining)? How about a fresh new look? Or maybe he’s a fan of corny gifts? Whatever he likes, I got the perfect gift for him. All you have to do is apply his personality, and you will find a unique gift that you probably never thought of before for your Dad!

The second thing to think about before getting him a gift is convenience. Is your dad the convenient type, or the splurging time? If he’s all about convenience, then a bluetooth speaker or an e-reader would make sense for his personality. Splurger? Than the telescope will look great in his at-home office.

Whatever your dad’s personality may be, the perfect Father's Day gift for him is probably here!
