Father’s Day Gifts For Your #1 Dad

June 09, 2022 by Brooke Hansen

Dads! We love ‘em. They fix things, they tell the best (worst) jokes, they listen, they have the best (worst) taste in music, and they don’t get no dang respect (sometimes). But when Father’s Day rolls around, choosing the right gift for your one-of-a-kind Dad can be tough. Have no fear, there are absolutely no ties here. In our Picnic Time laboratory, we’ve done the research and we’ve run the experiments to discover the gifts best suited to your Father’s interests. If you’re looking for gifts scientifically* proven to help Dads feel celebrated for who they truly are and all they’ve done for you, you’re in the right place. It’s a Father’s Day miracle!

*We didn’t actually use any science, per se. We just, you know, asked some of our favorite Dads really nicely. And, wouldn’t you know it, each and every one of them taught us to change our motor oil. Thanks, Dads!

The Hoppy Poppy

There’s only one king of beers around here, and while he’s definitely your bud, that’s not his lager of choice. In fact, he’s an IPA guy if there ever was one, though he’ll take a fine Stout or a cool, cloudy Hef any day. The CRAFT BEER FLIGHT BEVERAGE SAMPLER is just the thing for this handsome fellow to curate his own tastings.

Wooden beer flight holder with four sample glasses labeled wheat, amber, lager, and stout on table.

For the through-and-through Pilsner man, the PILSNER BEER GLASS GIFT SET is just the ticket.

Two dark beers on a rustic wooden table with beer bottles, barley, hops, and a wooden crate.

To ensure he has his best brews on hand on the go – and enough on hand to share with the guys – our go to is the INSULATED DOUBLE GROWLER TOTE WITH 64 OZ. GLASS GROWLERS.

The Spirit-ed Sire

The perfect cocktail requires the right tools. We’ve got sets ideal for Dad whether he’s a little Old Fashioned or terribly Tiki:

For the perfect indoor bar: Madison Acacia tabletop bar set

Outside bar setup: Bar backpack portable cocktail set,

And bar on the go: 10 piece bar tool roll up kit

Thanks to you, Dad’s perfect cocktail is well within reach.

For the whiskey purist in your life, the WHISKEY BOX GIFT SET is perfect. Ice cubes are for hobbyists, but with soapstone cubes, heavy-bottom lowball glasses, and handsome oak box, your Dad is now a professional.

Open wooden whiskey gift box with glasses, whiskey stones, and bottles on a bar counter.

For the man who just loves to share his favorite spirits? The CANTINERO SHOT GLASS SERVING SET will up his game to new heights. Restaurant quality in the comfort of his own home is enough to get any Dad pouring those shots, shots, shots.

The Tailgate Instigator

Let’s say your Father cares deeply about sports. Like, a lot. Like, it’s sort of a way of life for him? Boom, oh so very many of our products are available with officially licensed team logos. Whether his team is MLB, NFL, NHL, or NCAA, we have got you covered.

He’ll be the belle of the tailgating ball – but please don’t tell him we said that – with these tailgating essentials.

Star Wars Geek-Chic Dad

Hey, not all Dads are sports Dads, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t deeply devoted to a franchise. One that has spanned decades. And…galaxies. I think you know what I’m talking about? I’m talking STAR. WARS. Browse officially licensed Star Wars products because, yes, he is your Father. And he deserves it!

We got that. Whether he’s down with the Dark Side:

Wooden cheese board set with engraved “Beware the Dark Side” lid, knife, fork, and spreader tools.

Or agrees with the rest of the world that Baby Yoda is very cute:

We do travel outside the Star Wars universe too. Disney Daddo belongs here, too!

Perhaps he is the Incredble-est Incredible:

Red and black “Incredible Dad” backpack cooler with superhero-themed design and multiple zip pockets.

The Master of Fright:

The Classic D-Land devotee:

Yep, his favorite Disney and Disney Pixar characters grace some of our best-sellers. And doesn’t Dad deserve a little of that Disney magic? The answer is no, he deserves a lot!

 

The Great Outdoorsman

Who’s that hiking in the sun?

Who makes setting up the tent fun?

It’s camping Dad!

For the man who is on the go at work all week, and on the way to the nearest National Park every weekend, we’ve got everything he needs to make this trip one to remember.
