The Best Gift Ideas for Dads

Erin P.:  These are a fun gift idea for dads with a new baby at home. Labels all say things like , "this one is for the sleepless nights" or "this one is for the dirty diapers". Purchase these labels from Etsy and then affix them to Dad's favorite beer. The labels are weatherproof, and after removing the bottle's original label, all you have to do is peel and stick!

Erin P.:  This book by Tom Limbert contains quotes from some of the world's most famous coaches, with all of the quotes applying to fatherhood in some way. You'll see quotes from Pat Riley, Connie Mack, Ara Parseghian, Don Shula and Lou Holtz! This is a great gift for the dad who loves to read!

Grilling to perfection couldn't be easier than with the Weber iGrill! Dad can step away from the grill and enjoy the party by tracking meat temperature and "doneness" from the Weber iGrill app on his smartphone.

Kelly R.:  Hydro Flask's awesome drink containers make great gift ideas for dads, no matter what his preferred beverage happens to be. In addition to their traditional water bottles, they also offer tumblers, rocks glasses and growlers that will keep his favorite drink cold (or hot) for hours.

Yoli B:  Dad can use the Echo Dot to play music, check the weather, remember appointments, shop on Amazon, control the lights, and much more. Even if you already have one in your home, he might enjoy an additional one in the office or bedroom.

Tracy Snyder Molina:  What dad wouldn't love his own custom-made ice cream? Dads can choose a base - gelato, sorbet or ice cream, a flavor (like chocolate cake or sea salt caramel) and up to three mix-ins such as dark chocolate chips, cappuccino crunch or praline pecans. Finally, he'll choose a packaging style and name his custom creation. Other non-custom best-selling collections are available.

Kelly R.:  This isn't just any wallet. It may be the last wallet he ever needs. The quality is so good that it comes with a 100 year warranty.

What's "manlier" than a gift that arrives in a wooden crate and requires tools to open? Depending on dad's interests, Man Crates has plenty of gift ideas for dads in a variety of themes including grilling, golfing, tacos and many more!

Tim Ponisciak:  This is the perfect gift for the car loving dad. Get him these floor mats which are custom made to fit the exact dimensions of your car. This way he doesn't have to worry about junior dripping ice cream all over the place!

Kelly R.:  For the dad who already has enough stuff, give the gift of a year of family adventures. The National Parks & Federal Recreational Lands Annual Pass allows one year of family access to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites. It covers entrance or standard amenity fees at National Parks, National Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, National Grasslands, and more.

Gina I.:  Dads will love this waterproof shower speaker because it's easy to operate, holds a battery charge for 6 hours, and allows him to listen to his favorite tunes even when he's in the shower....who wouldn't love that?!

It has clear sound quality, and you can skip songs, adjust the volume and even answer calls all with the touch of a button.

Brigitte Nohra Miller:  This book written by comedian Doug Moe tackles parenthood in such a funny way! The author turns challenging parenting situations (tantrums and more) into laugh-out-loud moments. A terrific gift for all dads!

Kelly R.:  We love Moscow Mules, and I gave my husband these modern mugs from Crate & Barrel as a gift. They're attractive, but since they are stainless steel, they don't require any of the maintenance that traditional copper mugs do.

Lisa R:  Whatever dad carries when he leaves the house, be it a briefcase, backpack, messenger or saddle bag, Timbuk2 has some stylish upgrades he might appreciate. Timbuk2 bags are "made to last a lifetime" and are constructed according to ethical manufacturing practices.

Gina I.:  What do you get that hard-to-shop for dad or grandpa? This pistachio bowl! Top section holds your pistachios (or olives, edamame, peanuts, etc.) and you can deposit the shells in the dish below. Makes for easy snack time and easy clean up.
