Gift Ideas for Dad

I don't know about the dads in your life, but my own is extremely difficult to shop for. Each year I wrack my brain to come up with something that he'll appreciate and use, but I always seem to fall back on gift cards to Home Depot or Dunkin' Donuts. I decided to scour the Internet to come up with something different this year, so here are a few ideas I've come up with-- hopefully if you're in the same position as I am you'll find this helpful!

1-BBQ Gift Set - Grill-related gifts are a no-brainer when it comes to Father's Day, so it's nice to spoil him a little bit with something he wouldn't buy himself. This BBQ set from Williams-Sonoma comes with hickory wood chips, jalapeno peach BBQ sauce, steakhouse rub, a grill top smoker box, and a basting brush all wrapped up in a manly wooden box with a bow. $49.95, free shipping

2-Think Geek Star Wars Dad Gift Pack - I know dads of all ages who like Star Wars, and this set from ThinkGeek.com comes with collectible drinking glasses, a Death Star bottle opener, a Han Solo Carbonite business card holder, and more. Currently on sale for $59.99. For delivery by Father's Day orders must be placed by Friday, June 7th at 12 PM EST.

3-Build-On Brick Mug - This is a cute, inexpensive gift for any guy in your life: a mug they can build onto with Legos (not included) during downtime at the office. $19.99

4-Birchbox Man - If your man is jealous of all your beauty product subscription boxes, have Birchbox Man deliver high-end personal care and lifestyle samples to his door each month. A 3 month gift subscription is $60

5-Artifact Uprising Instagram Books - I'm obsessed with Artifact uprising books, and it struck me that this would be an equally awesome gift for a tech-savvy dad or a tech-challenged dad (like my own). The Instagram buff in your life would undoubtedly admire a collection of his own photos, whereas a dad who has never even hear of Instagram would appreciate a book of photos he may have never even seen before. A 5.5x5.5" book with 40 pages starts at $12.99

6-Netflix - This is self-explanatory. What dad wouldn't love the ability to stream every episode of Cheers, Star Trek or 24? $7.99/month

7-Trunk Club - This one can get pricey, but if your dad/baby daddy absolutely hates to shop, this one is for him. Trunk Club will set him up to chat with a personal stylist, who will send him a box of clothes that fit his style to try on in the comfort of his own home for 10 days. In that time he can decide what he wants, send back the rest, and schedule another box when he pleases. Maybe offer to buy a piece or two from his first box. No fees, but the pieces can be expensive.

8-Rubber horn iPhone Speaker - Super inexpensive, this little rubber device turns your iPhone into a speaker so Dad can bring the party with him where ever he goes. Maybe throw in a subscription to Spotify so he can listen to his Neil Diamond and Led Zeppelin 24/7.
