Dad. Has. Everything.
Seriously. Does he really need another tie? Doesn’t he have enough cologne? Are you sure his closet isn’t filled to overflowing with button-front shirts?
Clearly you’ve done a world of good for his style situation, but this year, it’s time to change up your gifting game just a little bit. And we’re not talking gift cards, folks – because let’s face it, things look a little bit different this year.
Holidays may not be quite the same for a little while, and if you don’t have plans to see the father figure in your world, it’s worth making an extra effort to make his day unforgettable for all of the right reasons. Here are a few unexpected picks that he’s sure to treasure.
Instead of a Portable Keyboard…
Get him the Mini Wireless Projection Keyboard ($35). This is one of those “where has it been all my life?” gadgets that he’ll wish he dreamed up himself. Far more portable than the clunky portable keyboard of old, this constant companion lives up to all the hype! It projects directly onto any surface so that he can easily type no matter where he happens to be. Even better? It’s equipped with mini Bluetooth speakers to play his favorite tunes!
Instead of a Round of Golf…
Get dad the Perfect Putting Mat ($169.99). If your usual Father’s Day celebration revolves around hitting the links and throwing back a few cold ones, you can surprise him with the next best thing. With this convenient setup in his kit, he can practice his form and boost his putting skills anytime, anywhere.

If he deals with occasional insomnia or wants to improve his sleeping habits, this handy gadget will reveal everything he needs to know to make the appropriate changes.

Instead of a Massage…
Get him the Therabody Theragun Mini ($199). Whether he makes no secret about his love of massages or he could desperately use some TLC for all of the hard work that he does, he may be bummed to learn that a visit to the spa may be out of the question this year.

Instead of House Slippers…
Get him the adidas Stan Smith Sneakers ($80). He probably has a pair of house slippers that has seen him through locked down periods in complete comfort. But in the hopes that he’ll get to spend some quality time outside in the near future, a pair of seriously supportive kicks is just the right choice.
