Let’s be real—Father’s Day gift-giving can feel like wandering the hardware aisle blindfolded, hoping something “Dad-ish” jumps into your cart. But not all dads are the same. Some dads are outdoorsy, silly, bookish or a total foodie. Whatever they are, they love spending time with their favorite people—you! Your unique dad deserves a unique Father’s Day gift that’s perfect for him.

If you’ve got a unique, family-oriented dad who would trade golf clubs for game night and a necktie for a family camping trip, this list is for you.

1. Men’s Skin Care Set – Everyone needs to take care of their skin! It’s got to last us a lifetime! This gift set has a very high rating after being purchased by over 6000 people.
2. Inflatable Kayak – I tried this out last weekend and fell in love! There’s nothing like the peace and calm of a kayak journey on a lake or river. It’s portable and super easy to set up, so your dad will be on the water in less than 10 minutes.
3. Sun Hat – We all know the dangers of the sun. Give dad some stylish protection from the sun whenever he’s outside, from mowing the lawn to that peaceful kayak trip.
4. Cooling Towels – Summer is here and working outside is hot and sweaty. Even worse, it’s dehydrating, making it’s hard to keep cool. These cooling towels will keep dad cool on the hottest day!
5. The Boys In the Boat – this nationally acclaimed book is not just another book about sports achievements, it’s about the triumph of the human spirit not matter what the adversity. For dads who know the book is always better than the book, this one he’ll love.
6. The Greatest Beer Run Ever – Reading dads love a good story, and this one doesn’t disappoint. This book is the glory friendship, adventure and comedy. It’s funny, it’s suspenseful and dad will be reading it cover to cover.
7. NewYorker Cult Recipes – Cooking dad? A total foodie? He will definitely love this book filled with recipes for New York favorites. Those dishes that everyone raves about will be at this finger tips. In fact, this may be more of a gift for you as you eat your way through the chapters.
8. Nut Haven Nut Baskets – You can never go wrong with snacks! This one is always my dad’s favorite.
9. Rolling Grill Basket – I know a grilling dad is cliché, but these will step up his grilling game and venture into the sublime.
10. Massage Gun – no matter what dad does, sore muscles happen. This massage was one of the hottest gifts last Christmas, so if you missed the boat then, now is the time grab one!

When it comes down to it, most dads don’t want more stuff that will gather dust. They want more moments. More laughs. More memories.

So whether you go big or keep it DIY and simple, aim for gifts that remind your dad he’s not just appreciated—he’s one-of-a-kind, the fun, and the love in the family.
