Cool Gifts for Dads and Other Men In Your Life

Last Updated on May 26, 2019 by lydiaf1963

Men can be aggravating to buy for, can’t they? I’ll use Rick as an example. If he sees something he wants, he buys it. When I ask him what he’d like, he tells me, “Nothing.” And– most discouraging– sometimes I’ll buy him something and he’ll return it. That’s why this year I’ve spent some time coming up with a list of cool gifts for dads and the other men in our lives. Including one Rick will actually use and like.

Personalized Gifts for Men

I love the opportunity to make a gift unique through customization. From left to right we have:

Leather cufflinks with his initials

Phone cases for iPhone, Samsung and Google phones. Besides favorite franchises, you can include favorite photos and names.

A comfy leather camera strap with embossed name.

Gifts for the Dad who has Everything

It’s difficult to imagine a man who wouldn’t like at least one of these! From left to right, top to bottom we have:

Make him the neighborhood BBQ King with a Pellet Grill. This baby both grills and smokes. It’s currently the MUST HAVE item for cooking all the meat!

The wheelbarrow/cart will come in handy for all those yard projects and for moving heavy items like appliances. 

Buy him a car mount for his phone. Now he can easily navigate (without asking directions) or make his opinions heard by making his own videos to upload to YouTube.

The last item is one of those whimsical/practical things. Now those with beards can safely groom without getting facial hair all over the place!

More Traditional Dad Gifts

Look, I get it. Some guys aren’t going to appreciate a beard hair catcher. But these gifts are still better than the can of nuts we used to give my father every year (that’s all he ever said he wanted…)

You’ll find corn hole sets all over Etsy. It’s just a matter of finding one he’ll like. You can choose from his favorite teams, movies, themes, what have you. And if you want to come up with your own design, this vender sells plain corn hole sets.

The shirt says it all, doesn’t it? You’ll find lots of wearable items that can be personalized at Zazzle. You can customize with family photos, names, etc. Dad will love it!

This geometric men’s jewelry stand can be customized with his initials. Love the special slot for his rings.

I spent many happy hours fishing with my father. That’s why I chose this personalized spinner. Love the sentiment.

Zazzle gives you lots of options for custom printed cards, calendars, mouse pads, etc. If it can be personalized they offer it. Their system makes it super easy to upload your photos and make changes to the text. You’ll want to check out everything they have to offer.

So, What’s the Best Gift for A Man?

Every guy is different and of course you know yours better than I do, so I’ll again use Rick as an example. He knows what he wants and he’s comfortable making his own purchases. He also likes to watch his favorite detective shows and read his DIY and Men’s Health magazines.

The one place he can get all of those is via Amazon Prime.

He’ll have his pick of literally millions of items delivered within two days plus tons of movies, series and streaming music. Prime can pay for itself very quickly when you take advantage of all it has to offer. (Not sure? You can gift 3 months to see if he likes it.)

It’s just about the only thing I can guarantee Rick will not return.
