Father’s Day Gift Guide 2023

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and as a father myself, I understand the joy and significance of this special occasion. It’s a time to honor and appreciate the incredible role that fathers play in their children’s lives. If you’re a mother searching for the perfect gift to celebrate the father of your children, let me share some heartfelt and creative ideas that will make him feel cherished and valued on his special day.

For the tech-dads:

These Philips Hue lights are a great way to kickoff the dad in your life’s new favorite obsession, and thing to show guests. The best thing about these lights is that there are a variety of different models, from bulbs to replace bulbs in lamps, to lightstrips perfect for behind the tv. If your dad already has one, get ‘em another, you can never have too many!

Hue’ll surely be his favorite after he receives these!

1. Hue 60W A19 Smart LED Starter Kit

2. Hue Play White & Color Ambiance Smart LED Bar Light

3. Hue White and Color Ambiance Lightstrip Plus 2M Starter Kit

For the grill master:

Unless you are bringing him with you, please DO NOT get him a grill! Dad’s can be picky, gas versus charcoal, brand selection, size, smokers, combos, griddle tops are all things us guys are going to really take into consideration. Instead, here’s what you do, go to Lowes get a heavy-duty bucket, and fill it with accessories! While we care deeply about what we are cooking on, most of us are always in need of a few more accessories.

Getting the wrong grill is the wurst!

5. Magnetic stainless steel tool hanger

6. Pit Boss pellet storage bucket

7. Weber digital probe meat thermometer

For the minimalist dad:

Here is a take on a classic Father’s Day gift. About a month ago I lost my wallet! I couldn’t find it and had to replace everything in it. Although I was super annoyed, it was a chance for me to try these new “minimalist” wallets I have seen. I will never turn back! I found a wallet and picked out a few accessories, one of which was a tracker, so I’d never lose it again!

10. Airtag strip

Big, bulky wallets just don’t make cents!

For the long day, hardworking dads:

Every father deserves some pampering and relaxation. Encourage him to take some time for himself and unwind, reminding him that his well-being is just as important as everyone else’s. Treat the father in your life to a massage or look into one of the following soothing gifts.

11. Message Therapy

12. Foot and calf massager

13. Deep tissue massager

14. Heat and Air Compression Massager

Dad doesn’t have to be in a French bakery to be in a world of pain


For the dad that needs a little here and there:

Consider gifting a subscription box or a membership tailored to his interests. Whether he’s a coffee connoisseur, a wine enthusiast, a book lover, or a fitness fanatic, there are subscription services that cater to every passion. It’s a gift that keeps on giving, providing him with surprises and enjoyment long after Father’s Day.

Here are a few of my favorite:

15. Craft Hot Sauce

16. MANSCAPED

17. Craft Beer Club

18. Graze Boxes

19. Loot Crate

Unlike a yo-yo subscription, there are no strings attached.


For the dads that need decoration:

Gotta dad with a man-cave, office, or garage? Getting art that symbolizes his role as a father could be a great gift for any father. It could be a hand drawn picture from his children, an original art from a website like Minted.com, or a signed ball from his favorite athlete. Choose a style that resonates with him and reflects his personality. Every time he sees the artwork, he’ll be reminded of the love and admiration his family has for him.

21. Fanatics Offers

You tried to get dad a great gift, but you blue it.


For the adventure seeking dad:

Plan a special outing or activity that allows him to bond with the children. It could be a day at the amusement park, a picnic in the park, or a visit to his favorite museum or sports event. Creating memories and spending quality time together will be a gift he’ll treasure forever.

22. National Park Season Pass

23. Tickets to his favorite sporting event

Camping is the most thrilling adventure because it is so in tents.

For the content dad:

Sometimes, the simplest gestures can be the most meaningful. Take the time to write the dad in your life a letter letting them know that their work has not gone unnoticed

Hey dad, you’re really punny!

xoxo, Shakira
