Whether it’s Father’s Day, Christmas or a birthday, choosing gifts for the guys in your life can sometimes be stressful. You could always get him a pair of socks, shoes or a belt, but is that all you want to gift?
You know he deserves better. It’s such a task to find that perfect gift that’ll mean something for the hard working dads so we’ve compiled a list of worthy gifts that’ll put your dads over the moon. Let’s give in some role reversal and be the Santa Claus to our dads for a change.
Here’s The list of Best Gift Ideas For Dad (To Buy On Father’s Day And Birthday):
1. Baseball Stadium Blueprints
Baseball is more than a game, and stadiums are more than just buildings, at least for your Dad. Modern ballparks are temples to the spectacle, culture, and history of America’s favourite pastime.
And if your dad is a fanatic who’d like to relive his memorable moments at the ballpark, this beautifully detailed blueprint will be perfect to honour the stadium’s unique history and architecture. Printed on museum-quality paper with a crisp finish and beautiful texture, this blueprint will make a great wall art for your dad’s study. The antique finish will evoke the look of a vintage document, everything that your dad would want to adorn his ‘man cave’.
2. Bourbon Soap
Men’s soaps are tricky. They either smell like leather or old spice. If your dad enjoys pampering himself yet wants to do it in a ‘manly’ way, here’s a good option. These Duke Cannon American Bourbon Soaps add an aromatic, masculine appeal without off-putting boozy notes.
The barrel-aged spirits provide just the right amount of aroma to give a hint of bourbon through the day. It’ll always give him plenty of opportunities to close his eyes and dream of that magical land of whiskey rivers. It’s also a great exfoliant so a win-win.
3. Whiskey Barrel
What says ‘I love you’ more than a premium charred American Oak ageing barrel? A lot of things but if your dad loves whiskey then you should probably consider this. More than just a handsome homage to a whiskey-lover, this oak barrel ages spirits to peak flavour.
Its petite proportions accelerate the ageing process, meaning that your dad’s liquor will hit its prime up to ten times faster. Turn the barrel and taste the contents weekly, and when they reach their ideal ‘oakiness’, enjoy a glass straight from the tap. It’s a great way to personalise the flavour of the liquor and if you dad likes to be unique he will revel in this.
4. Himalayan Salt BBQ Plank
Does your dad love a good barbeque? And is he the one who fires up the grill any chance he gets?
This platter of Himalayan salt is a perfect multi-tasking tool for him. It’s beauty and unique properties will allow him to present and even cook the food in ways that will delight the tongue and dazzle the dinner guests. A shared effort with your mom, they’ll cook up a storm to impress anyone who shows up for a meal at your home.
5. Wine Cork States 
From a special birthday Burgundy to that unforgettable anniversary Syrah, some wine bottle corks are destined to become keepsakes. If your dad likes to keep them as memories and is also a wine lover, preserve them all with this state-shaped display board. He can turn his collection into fabulous wine cork art.
These cork holders are designed with memorable geographic details, and pre-drilled holes for easy mounting in the living room, kitchen, wine cellar, or even his study. When ready just insert the cork into the custom-made slots for a primo piece of wine wall art.
6. Smart Phone Sanitizer
If he’s always cleaning his phone with wipes – there’s an easier way. He can pop his phone in this compact canister and have it cleaned while it charges. Large enough to accommodate most smartphones, it comes with a micro USB charging cable that can be easily switched out to fit his phone’s requirements.
This easy-to-use smartphone sanitizer and charger help zap most germs automatically. A pair of specialized, ultra-violet lights does the dirty work, while exterior lights will let him know when the phone is clean and charged.
7. Hugo Boss Jersey Bomber Jacket
Improve his casual jacket game with a cosy, two-tone bomber jacket. This bomber jacket is the perfect outerwear to wear in spring. When the cold is just a memory but sunny days are still far away, they can bring some lightness to the outfit, without baring too much body.
Their super urban vibe allows them to match to both casual pieces, for an easy and cool total look, and posher ones, creating a delicate contrast game. He can pair the bomber with a collared shirt and pair of chinos or trousers for a smart-casual look.
8. Nautical Chronograph Leather Strap Watch, Jack Mason
This watch is inspired by nautical instruments, a classic if your dad was in the naval force or loves all things nautical. Watches are often neglected, and with the proliferation of cell phones, considered an outdated novelty to some.
But if he’s a man who appreciates a good piece and finds it so much more than just a timepiece, this watch will keep him satisfied. It has an impressive general finishing; primarily brushed but with polished accents. The case back has an aircraft motif in the centre, surrounded by turbine/propellers in an appealing way.
9. Beer Caddy with Bottle Opener
This beer caddy gives park picnics or backyard barbecues a snazzy touch, with a removable six-pack separator to keep brews safe and ice cold. The pack includes an attached steel opener. Give this to your beer buff dad or if he loves an outdoor adventure or maybe just because he loves to bring his craft beer along to parties. The caddy is easy to transport and has a cool design so he can look cool while carrying a purse like looking item.
10. Microwave Popcorn Popper
Your mom can sit back and let dad make the popcorn in this easy to use popcorn maker. He can enjoy the fresh, healthy taste of stovetop popcorn with the convenience of the microwave. Made from temperature safe borosilicate glass, the main container can be filed with whole kernel corn and then microwaved without the use of oil.
The lid doubles as a kernel measure and butter melter – simply put a pat of butter on the lid while the popcorn is popping to enjoy a delicious snack. Dad can be in charge of making the popcorn for games from now on.
11. Bottle Loft
With these clever fridge storage strips, dad’s bottles will hang out in a cool loft that might make the orange juice jealous. It’ll also create more space so that mom doesn’t need to go around scrounging for the place to put other food. Each strip features three super-strong neodymium magnets – two strips secure a six pack of his favourite beverage bottles to the ceiling of the refrigerator, keeping them handy. The strips adhere to any spot with heavy-duty peel-and-stick adhesive.

12. Fire Escape Shelf
While big-city landlords may frown upon placing potted plants or other objects on the real fire escape due to fire codes, there’s certainly no restriction on what Dad populates this clever shelving unit with.
He can mount houseplants, books, candles, framed photographs and art, for all he cares. Bound to thrill if your dad’s an apartment-dwelling urbanite and/or a lover of all things big city. He can hang several shelves vertically down the wall for an even more dramatic effect.
13. Living Composter
If your dad likes to believe that he has a green thumb then get him this functional living composter to fulfil his desires of becoming a gardener. The designers of this biomorphic worm house collected data for almost two years, then created an algorithm to figure out the best shape for both worm health and human convenience.
He can drop fruit and vegetable peelings, grain foods, and tea bags into the top opening and the worms in residence will eat at least half of their own weight of scraps per day. Spread the easily removed comport next to the plants or in ports, and watch those babies grow. So potent is vermicompost that as little as a tablespoon could feed a 6” potted plant for over two months.
14. Siphon Coffee Maker
Besides a nickname that would fit well on the X-men mutant team, siphon coffee makers are full immersion brew systems that use a constant heat source to create vacuum in one chamber by forcing water up into another chamber, where the coffee grounds are steeped, and then allows the brew to drain back down into the bottom chamber.
If your dad geeks out of such systems or was simply enamoured by the one he saw at Starbucks, this syphon coffee maker will not only do the job but will get him some of the best coffee he’ll ever taste in his life.
15. Travel Hammock
This lightweight, the easy-to-pack hammock is great for wherever his travels might take him. Made of parachute nylon, its ultra-light design is matched only by its super strength.
It’s also breathable, fast-drying, and machine washable, so his hangout is comfortable and low-maintenance. It’s great to pull out on weekend getaways where he can enjoy a cold one while lying down in his relaxing hammock.
