Gifts for Dads & Husbands

We’re shopping outside of the usual ‘I Love You, Dad’ mugs and tees box here.

Signature Carhartt Lunch Box

Carhartt is kind of like the Louis Vuitton of rugged men. It’s a top tier brand known for quality and status in its own right. I guarantee if he owns anything at all Carhartt that he’ll flip for this signature Carhartt brown lunch bag!

Stanley Quencher Tumbler

The internet has FLIPPED for the Stanley Quencher Tumblers. They’re a household staple now, and with their thoughtfully designed shape, make great commuter cups. He can bring his water, hot coffee or iced drinks with him on the go in a pretty destruction-proof vessel.

Back, Neck and Shoulder Massager

He who works hard… probably aches. As soon as I saw this nifty back, neck, and shoulder massager I knew it needed to be on this list. Show dad or hubby (or whoever!) you know hard hard they work with this thoughtful gift.

Gifts for the Handyman

Buying for a handyman is hard, because oftentimes he has alllll the tools already. These are some more clever finds and/or upgrades from the usual options.

Mini Shop Vac

Kevin swears by his mini shop vac for things like cleaning out the cars and smaller, confined home projects. We have a full size one that gets a lot of use for larger jobs, too. Whether you think a mini one or a full size shop vac is the way to go, it’s a solid gift idea for any handyman without one on your list.

Carhartt Waterproof Insulated Work Gloves

These heavy duty #1 best selling Carhartt work gloves are sure to dazzle anyone on your list. They’re not only stylish but incredibly practical, not to mention well-rated with a 4.5 average over 25,000+ reviews.

6-in-1 Multi Tool Pen

How cool is this?! While your giftee may already have some of these tools I bet they’d appreciate having a 6-in-1 multi tool pen version they can take on the go. This would be a very cute gift from a kiddo or event for ‘Santa’ to gift to your in-house handyman.

Gifts for the Techie

Out-of-the-box gifts for the tech savvy mister in your life.

Electric Standing Desk

Has he talked about getting a sit/stand desk? Here’s your chance to have a say in what it looks like a.k.a. make sure it fits if it’ll be amidst YOUR home decor. With a few different style options and sizes this sit/stand desk is a fantastic option! It’s not only an Amazon’s Choice but well-rated at 4.5 stars with over 2,700 reviews.

Mini Projector

Turn his backyard or basement into THEE place to be on game day or movie night with this mini projector. Super affordable and portable, this projector couldn’t be simpler to use and is frequently on sale. Check out some of the great 6,300+ reviews and grab it while the price is low!

Automatic Soap Dispenser

Does your he swear by every tech gadget out there? Or pride himself in his “super smart home”? Because no matter how smart his home is, I bet he doesn’t have an automatic soap dispenser! It even displays the current temperature. Win the season with this super unique, ultra tech savvy gift idea for him!

Gifts for the Grill Master

Does he cook more outside than indoors? Mine too. These recommendations come from years of watching my in-house grill master teach me the ropes as he works his magic on the barbecue.

MEATER Meat Thermometer

Never over or undercook meat AGAIN! This bluetooth wireless meat thermometer is an ideal gift for your grill master but also your hybrid techie-grill masters. We have one and love it! Boost their cooking confidence by giving the gift of knowledge [about when their food is good to go].

Himalayan Salt Block

Great for prep, during cooking or storing your future meals on in the fridge, this Himalayan Salt Block will add so much natural flavor to your meals. Much like a cast iron, it seasons your food more and more over time and cleaning is easy: just use a little water. The salt naturally disinfects your block!

Ultimate Grilling Spice Set

Does he ever make fun of you for not knowing what you have a taste for? Good chance the tables will turn when he has 20 different grilling spices and he has to choose one. Your grill master will thank you for the gift that keeps on giving, delicious seasonings he can share for months or years to come!

Gifts for the Bachelor

I actually love shopping for single dudes because for some reason a lot of them keep to their own little interest bubbles (i.e. video games, watching TV, not so much exploring home decor or useful household items). Thus, I have a whole new audience with which to share my shopping prowess!

Globe Whiskey Decanter Set

I got this for Kev one of our first anniversaries and it’s one of his favorite pieces of office decor! He has a ‘wordly’ theme going in there and is a fan of good whiskey, so this was perfect. This globe whiskey decanter set is made with a masculine cherry wood and glass, keeping it simple like most dudes tend to keep their homes. If you’re shopping for a whiskey fan, keep this set in mind!

UGG Men’s Slide Slippers

Give the gift of ultimate comfort with these simple-yet-ultra cozy UGG slippers. My husband and brother in law both SWEAR by UGG slippers. To be fair, theirs both are really soft and cozy feeling, so I get it. When in doubt, if he needs some house slippers, gift him the best out there.

Brew Candles 3-Pack

Chances are, if he’s a bachelor he doesn’t own many candles (or even decor). But if he doesn’t want to be a bachelor forever, maybe help him out with how his place smells, at least. These cool dude-friendly Brew Candles are simple looking, soy candles that don’t smell overly feminine if that’s not his thing. They have all different sets so you can pick one perfect for your single dude giftee!

Gifts for the Outdoorsman

Help him optimize his time with nature by gifting him gadgets and tools he can use in the great outdoors. Also on the list? This super cool solar powered flashlight/charging bank.

Folding Utility Wagon

If you own a house or go camping (and especially both) this is a must for your household. I’m sure your favorite outdoorsman will especially appreciate this folding utility wagon considering he’s probably the one hauling firewood, yard work supplies and patio furniture. And that’s just around the yard! This wagon will work wonders for hauling items around a campsite or even on vacation.

Camo Slim Can Koozie

Now his brewski can match his parka with this awesome camo parka can koozie! The hood even acts as a barrier to keep nature from blowing into his beer, win-win.

Rocking Camping Chair

What’s more relaxing than falling asleep in front of the TV in your recliner? Falling asleep rocking in nature! He might already own a camping chair, but if it doesn’t rock, he needs this camping chair rocker.

Gifts for the Foodie

Whether he’s an established chef or just an amateur food critic, these are gifts the foodie on your list is sure to love.

Breakfast Sandwich Maker

This is also a gift for the not-so-foodie inclined. He can make a quality breakfast sandwich every morning with this extremely well-rated (33,000+ reviews) and popular breakfast sandwich maker! There’s even a list of recipes on their website to get the chef-to-be started.

Nugget Ice Maker

I have no idea why nugget ice is so popular, but I do know it’s a cult favorite among those who stan it. After some research, this nugget ice maker is the Amazon’s Choice (with over 20,000 reviews) and even better, is frequently on deal!

Nuts & Beef Jerky Gift Box

Totally stumped? Think again. This nuts and jerky gift set looks AMAZING! Everyone’s gotta eat, so why not have a delicious spread of snacks to do it with. Also a great gift for your outdoors man to pack on his next adventure.
