The Ultimate Dad Gift Guide

Holiday shopping time is upon us. While some people on are lists are easy and fun to shop for, dads are, in a word, difficult. He either has it all, wants nothing, or has such niche interests that you can’t possibly get it right. I feel your pain! Luckily, there are some fantastic options out there this year sure to make any dad happy. Mix and match from our list below to create the perfect holiday for each dad in your life. (And rest assured, no ties or funky socks made the list.)

Mission Belts

These sleek belts ditch the standard holes in favor of a ratchet mechanism built into the buckle. Even if the dads on your list aren’t into fashion, they’ll appreciate the lay-flat design and durability. Plus, you can choose a belt style to suit them, from sports logos to western-style buckles and everything in between. As a feel-good bonus, one dollar from each belt purchased goes to help fight hunger and poverty through micro-loans.

Snack Pillow

What dad doesn’t have a favorite snack? Instead of going to the work of making a fancy, diy snack bouquet (been there, done that, won’t do it again), let this cute Etsy shop help! This personalized pillow with pockets for whatever he wants to keep close while he lounges will definitely be a hit. Go ahead and stuff a few of his favorite snacks in the front pocket to get him started.

Hands-Free Tool Accessories

If the dads in your life are handy, you’ve no doubt heard their frustration at

trying to hold lights and tools and hardware all at once. These two gifts will solve that problem! Flashlight gloves give Dad the ability to have task lighting without worrying about fitting into small spaces. They’re also helpful for power outages, night time reading, and just looking like a cool spy dad.

To go right along with hands-free light, add this magnetic wristband to his gift. It will keep nails, screws, and other small parts or tools handy while Dad works. No more losing the only screw that fits or crawling under the car to find the missing bolt.

Tile Tracker

Men losing things has become a bit of a running joke, but the trouble it can cause is real. Tile trackers includes one for his keys, one for his wallet, and two sticker trackers for anything else he’s constantly losing, like the remote or his cell phone.

Google Home Mini

If the dad you’re shopping for is a tech junkie, you may be able to scale up from the Google Home Mini. Any dad will enjoy and benefit from one of these affordable, beginner-friendly home devices, though! Start him out with the basics: music, weather, and his favorite team scores. Later you can work on setting up a full smart home he can control without lifting a finger.

Wrap & Relax

With the most difficult member of the family shopped for, it’s time for you to wrap those presents and kick up your feet. Here’s to finishing holiday shopping early (and hopefully under budget)! Let us know which gifts were a hit for the dads on your list. Happy holidays!
