You’re searching for gifts for dad, and this time, you’re not planning to settle for just plain good. You want a great gift this year — the kind that he’ll be thrilled to receive and will enjoy again and again after you give it to him.
If your dad loves sports, there’s fantastic news: You can find that kind of present for your dad by tapping into the games he loves.
Gifts for Dads Who Play Hard
Dads who do sports, rather than watch from the sidelines or on television, are especially fun to buy for. Look for the gear he needs and add in a little personalization to make it especially his.
Some ideas: A personalized golf ball is a great way to encourage him when he tees off. You can find a way to create or choose gifts that root him on in almost any sport, from baseball and basketball to golf, tennis, or even skateboarding.
Gifts for Dads Who Never Miss a Game
If your dad is the kind of guy who already has every piece of logo’d clothing, you’re going to need to find a gift that lets him take his fandom to the game in a totally personalized way.
Think: A blanket to take to the stadium when temperatures drop, a can cooler or even a whole cooler for him to use at the tailgate. Take this idea to the next level of awesome dad gifts by adding a pair of tickets to a game to go along with his present.
Gifts for Dads Who Have a Sports-Themed Man Cave
Does your dad have a special space he devotes completely to his love of a sport? Help him deck his halls!
You might find the perfect throw pillows for his game-watching couch, give him a one-of-a-kind spot to put up his feet, find a poster that celebrates his favorite ways to play, or even present him with a doormat that lets visitors know that they’re entering a fan zone when they arrive.
Gifts for Dads Who Host Game-Watch Parties
You can make his weekly watch parties more fun all season long by helping him set his crew up with on-theme gear to make the celebration great. Make team-themed mason jars for his guests to drink from, create themed paper party plates or one-of-a-kind napkins, or even get water bottles for when the game really heats up.
Gifts for Dads Who Take Their Love on the Road
If your dad wants to show the world what he’s a fan of, help him do it in style! Find the right t-shirt or create the perfect jersey so he can dress for success. Help him walk the true fan talk with custom socks or show he means business with a tie that celebrates his spirit.
Encourage him to hit the streets with a custom bumper sticker or floor mats for his car that will make his true-fan heart race.
