Fathers Day – There’s no better way to show appreciation to the special father figure in your life than with a thoughtful present.
Whether you’re looking for something practical, sentimental, or just plain goofy, here are seven snazzy gift ideas for Father’s Day.
1) A personalised mug
Coffee tastes great in the morning, but it tastes even better out of a mug that celebrates the person sipping on it. So if your dad doesn’t have his own mug, or if his old one is too chipped and stained, now is the perfect time to invest in a new one.
There’s an endless array of mug designs that you can personalise and send his way. For instance, you can consider making a DIY mug project and adding texts such as “#1 Dad in the World” or “Our Favourite Man of The House” to show your heartfelt appreciation for him.
If you don’t know his hobbies, or don’t have the creative juices to come up with a witty joke, you can choose to engrave his first name or initials onto the mug. He’ll be sure to think of you every time he takes a sip!
2) Magnetic wristband
Does your dad have a knack for carpentry and home improvement? Does he often maintain his four-wheeled baby? If so, he’ll love this nifty gift idea.
A magnetic wristband is a convenient tool for holding screws, nails, and other small metal objects while he’s working. No more fumbling around for tools or dropping them on the floor – this tool will make sure that nothing ever goes out of sight!
And while it’s best wrapped around the wrist, it can also be attached to a belt for easy accessibility. This tool’s flexibility makes it perfect for dads who always lose a drill bit or two while fixing their car or something around the house.

3) Meat tenderizer
All dads love their BBQs, but not all of them have the perfect tools for making perfectly tender and juicy meat. If your dad is one of those people who love to grill but can’t seem to get the meat just right, then this gift idea is for him.
A meat tenderizer is a great way to help him get his meat nice and juicy, without losing any of the flavours. By pounding the meat before cooking, it will be more succulent and easier to eat. This is especially helpful for tougher cuts of meat that can be difficult to chew.
4) A Swiss pocket knife
If your dad’s an avid hiker or camper, then he’ll absolutely love this one. A Swiss pocket knife is a versatile and essential tool for any outdoor enthusiast.
This knife can do it all – from opening cans and bottles, to cutting rope and clothing. It even has a built-in toothpick and tweezers for those infrequent moments when he needs them.
No matter what situation your dad finds himself in, this knife will come in handy. If you want to go the extra mile, you can try to find a customisable knife that comes with different attachments. That way, he can have even more options for tackling any adventure.
5) A sofa side pocket
Does your dad love to watch TV but always lose the remote in between the cushions? If so, then he needs a sofa side pocket.
This useful pouch attaches to the side of any sofa or lounge chair and provides a convenient place to store living room essentials – TV remotes, magazines, books, and other small items. If he has a weak back and doesn’t want to bend down to the table every time he wants the remote, then this is the perfect solution.
Plus, this item comes in a variety of colours and designs to match any sofa style. So whether your dad’s taste is classic or contemporary, this side pocket will look stylish while ensuring that he’ll never go on a treasure hunt for the remote control ever again.
6) Genetics test kit
Is your dad even just slightly curious about his ancestry? Do you or his grandkids keep on pestering him about his lineage? Remove all doubt with a genetics test kit.
This gift will allow him to discover his ethnic background and gain a deeper understanding of his family history. He can even find out if he has any long-lost relatives through online newsletters that these companies provide!
This is a thoughtful gift for dads who are interested in their genealogy and want to know more about their ancestors. It’s also a great way for him to connect with his heritage and learn about his culture.
Some of these kits can even be used to test for genetic diseases, so if you’ve ever wondered what type of diseases your family is prone to, then this gift can help you unveil that mystery too.
7) A special day with family
Some dads don’t value material things, but that doesn’t mean you’d have a hard time finding them something they adore. Instead of giving him an item, why not offer him a Father’s Day adventure that he’ll never forget?
For instance, if he hasn’t gone out to the beach for a while, then pack up and travel there for a family outing. Conversely, if your dad enjoys watching concerts and live shows, then get him tickets to his favourite band’s show. You know your dad best, so try to tailor the activities of the day according to his interests.
