Gift Ideas for Dad

Gift Ideas for Dad

Let’s be honest, dads are hard to shop for. But don’t fear, because we’re here to help you find the perfect gift for Father’s Day on June 16. We’ve rounded up gift ideas for every type of dad – from the golf dads to the outdoorsy dads and the ones who have everything.

For the fashionable (or unfashionable!) father

Want to step up dad’s fashion game? Find stylish clothes for the summer season at shops, like J.Crew Factory, Psycho Bunny and Southern Tide.

For the golfer

Prep him for a great day on the greens with performance apparel and accessories from TravisMathew, Golf Galaxy and Oakley

Pro tip: If you really want to take your gift game to a new level, book dad a PGA Tour Superstore private lesson or session in the practice bay. It’s a great way for him to beat the heat or summer rain while fine-tuning golf techniques.  

For the outdoorsy dad

From fishing gear to camping essentials, find gifts that support his love of the great outdoors at Dick’s Sporting Goods and REI Co-op

For the bike-riding dad

Does dad like to ride? Find some of the best bikes and accessories at Playtri and  Ryder Bikes.

For the pet parent

Spoil his four-legged bestie with treats, toys and more from Three Dog Bakery or Dog Perfect.

For the dad who deserves to be pampered 

Pamper him with a soothing hot shave or massage from ManCave for Men, or one of the signature barber facials and haircuts from Modern Gents. If a haircut is not his thing, he’ll love a relaxing session in the infrared sauna at Perspire Sauna Studio

For the drink lover

If he is something of a wine or whiskey connoisseur, then head to Total Wine & More. The helpful staff will help you pick out the perfect bottle.

For the dad who has everything

If he already has enough gadgets, give dad the gift of quality time together. Challenge him to a friendly competition on one of the two 18-hole putting courses at PopStroke; explore hundreds of classic, exotic and sports cars at Sarasota Cars & Coffee at UTC on June 8; or enjoy a fun-filled afternoon at the Mall at UTC’s Annual Dad’s Day Block Party on June 15, featuring sports player meet-and-greets, giveaways, live entertainment and so much more!
