This year, Father’s Day is a bit different, seeing as it is my first one as a dad! I’m really looking forward to spending the day with Jacque and Josslyn just counting my blessings! Of course, Jacque wouldn’t let me leave it at that, she asked for a list of Father’s Day Gift Ideas! So I’ve come up with 10 awesome gifts to share with you that are perfect for Father’s Day!

Being that I am a die hard Boston Red Sox fan, having a Fenway Park Ballpark Blueprint would be an awesome addition to my office! On our wedding day Jacque surprised me with cuff links made out of old Fenway Park seats. I can say this type of print would give my wedding day gift a good run for it’s money as my all time top gift, hint hint. These prints are exclusive to UncommonGoods and they offer a slew of different ballparks, so don’t tell her that they have one of Wrigley Field or she will be bugging me to get her one! (UncommonGoods $185)
Keeping on topic with things that I need in my office, I have to have this Home Plate Doormat! This is a unique Father’s Day gift with a really affordable price perfect for any baseball loving dad! If baseball isn’t your Dads idea of a good time make sure to check out all of the other incredible unique and often handmade Father’s Day gift ideas from UncommonGoods. About 1/3 of the entire collections of goods offered incorporate recycled and/or upcycled materials which is music to our ears! (UncommonGoods $22)
Working at the firehall, I need to have a lunch box big enough to hold multiple meals, plus, it would be nice to have something rugged and durable so that I’m not having to replace it every year. That’s where Karl’s Lunch Box from the Duluth Trading Company comes into play! This insulated lunch cooler would make any dad, the envy of the jobsite! (duluthtradingcompany.com $79.50)
I wear ball caps enough that some of my friends may not recognize me without one on! The summer brings an added challenge in wearing a ball cap as I sweat a lot and no one wants to wear a sweat soaked hat. This Duluth Flex Nylon Ball Cap would be great solution for the summer heat , as it’s lightweight and would dry out quick leaving me cooler and more comfortable! (duluthtradingcompany.com $22.50)
My sister, Sarah was the first person to introduce me to the Fitbit One. She told me all about how it tracks your daily activity, including tracking elevations and even logging your sleep patterns! The Fitbit One is a cool fitness tracker and would be great for the active dad in your life! (amazon.com $88.84)
I’ve always wanted a good pair of headphones, but I’ve always been turned off by the overpriced price tag! So when I found the Sol Republic Track HD headphones for under $100, I was ready to buy them immediately! You don’t have to spend $250 to get a great pair of headphones! Don’t believe me, check the reviews, these headphones are the real deal! (amazon.com $79.75)
If you haven’t seen my review of the Arctic Cove 18V Bucket Top Misting Fan, you’ve got to check it out! Whether your dad spends his time out on the lake or working out in the yard, this misting fan is a Father’s Day must have! (arcticcove.com $99.97)
For all of you that know me, you know that I love my Kobalt tools! This Kobalt 40V Max Pole Saw should take the 2014 award for Most Valuable Outdoor Power Equipment! Having a battery powered pole saw means no hassle starts, no bad.old fuel, and extremely low maintenance! And if that’s not enough, it’s battery is interchangeable with 7 other 40V Max tools! (lowes.com $169)
I recently discovered the Stok Quattro Grill and I have to say, this is probably the coolest concept grill that I’ve ever seen! It sports interchangeable grill inserts ranging from pizza stones, wok inserts, and even a kabob and rib rack just to name a few! This grill is the ultimate in Father’s Day Gift ideas! (target.com $299.99)
This walnut wood wallet may be the coolest wallet I’ve ever seen! It’s amazingly made out of a single piece of wood and is perfect for the craftsman in all of us! (slimtimber.com $55)

I like the Alice in Wonderland pillow.
That fan looks pretty cool!
From Uncommon Goods, I would love to have the Vegetable Peeler and the Herb Infuser!
Great ideas for gifts, I love that grill! And thanks for the giveaway! I love the birdhouses over at Uncommon Goods!
any of these would make any dad happy. Personally … I’d be down with that pole saw fo’shizzle! Nice round up and I gotta think it takes special meaning being a new(ish) dad – first ‘ficial F’ Day!
Be warned though I have been name d”World’s Greatest Dad” now ten years running. I’ve got the tee-shirts to prove it, yo. … and I think it’ll take a lot to unseat me. ha! cheers my friend. ~jb
I would get the Gardener’s Seat for my dad.

Bill Loved the Kobalt tools and even looked at them while we were at Lowe’s. That would be a great gift for him!.
Ethan’s work gave him a fitbit and i’m super jealous! 🙂 great list matt!
I love the bird houses on uncommon goods.
Love these gift ideas! I hope I win 😉 Sharing!
Great ideas to get my dad!! I never know what he wants.
If money were no object I’d get my Dad a mountain home on a ton of acreage where he could raise all of his creatures (he has over 100 quail right now but I know he’s love to expand!)
Great ideas!! I always need help in this department, so this post was EXTREMELY well-timed!!! Thank-you!
I would get him a Tesla electric car – he really wants one!
Hi there! I’d get him an offshore fishin’ charter so he could land the massive sailfish that has always elluded him! 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful Father’s Day!
An Alaskan cruise
I would get him a new tractor.
Something for most dads there on your list and a great giveaway to boot!
Oh, I forgot, I would give him a new truck.
Family vacation where he would be able to spend an entire week with his grandson!!
if money was not an issue – a workshop set with all the tools he could ever want.need
I would get him a trip to Australia 🙂
I’d love to get my dad the biggest and nicest 4×4 truck that I could find.
My Dad has passed, but for my husband it would be a vacation where money isn’t an issue, enjoyment is. We haven’t had a vacation in years.
A plane ticket to England to visit family he hasn’t seen in almost 40 years because he’s never been able to afford it 🙁
I’d get him a really nice pair of boots.
I would get him a new car!
If money was not a factor, I’d get my Dad a Harley motorcycle. He won’t admit just how much he loves them because he knows he could never afford one. I see the way his eyes light up when he sees or hears one on the road. He can’t help walking up to parked Harley’s with a huge grin and his hands behind his back. It’s as if he thinks that touching the bike might make the dream vanish. I think he wants one so bad…but he will never admit it. I dream that one day I can surprise…of course I’ll have to win a lottery first.
Well I’m not sure what I’d get my dad but I would get my husband a nice tool chest that he saw at Home Depot last week!
If money was not an object, I would love to surprise my father-in-law with a new vehicle to replace his!
My Dad passed away quite a while ago but he was a wonderful Dad and if money were no object I would have bought him a big ole SUV to take hunting and fishing.
1967 Chevelle or Shelby GT
I would get him awesome seats to a Kings and Rangers Stanely cup game!
If money were not important – I’d get my dad a vacation. He’s such a hard working man, he could sure use some time to get away and relax. However, he does love the Duluth Trading Company and I know he’d would absolutely be thrilled to have the Men’s Fire Hose Work Pants, Men’s DuluthFlex Fire Hose Long Sleeve Work Shirt, and the Men’s Fleece-lined Fire Hose Work Pants. He’d also love to have the Recycled Wine Barrel Side Cabinet from Uncommon Goods.
Congrats on your first father’s day, Matt! Joss is such a little cutie! Hmmm, if money were no object, I’d buy my husband a sports car! He’d never buy himself one even if he did have the money!
I would take my husband and I (haha) on a nice vacation to Hawaii! he works hard and deserves a break!
I would love to get him his car remodeled, he has a 1978 z28 chevy camaro that is in his garage broken down, it was his first car and he always wanted to remake it!
Get him a months paid vacation to where ever he would like to go to an kiss tickets to all the us show dates
Trip to europe
Definitely tickets to see the Dallas Cowboys.
I’d get my dad a long vacation somewhere that requires a passport! Get him out of his comfort zone. 🙂
a chance to be with his great grandkids and the rest of the family! (he passed 30 years ago this month) so the gifts would be for someone else!
I’d get my husband a new car. Ours was just totaled in an accident.
I would get my dad a Log Home with a couple of stocked fishing lakes and a thousand acres to hunt on. HE LOVES THE OUTDOORS!
I’m loving that bucket misting fan AND the cordless pole saw. I hate dragging a corded one up the ladder when I’m hacking palm trees. The horrible toothed things keep tearing holes in my extension cord.
Great list!
Awesome giveaway! Great ideas! For my dad I would bring all the kids and their kids together. We’ll have almost all of us together in August but not quite. It would be fun to do a Disney trip with the whole fam. For my husband I would buy a house so we can have our own space again (we just moved states and are looking but it’s expensive!)
I would get him a thoroughbred race horse.
Screw the guys – I want the mister for myself! 🙂
A brand new truck would make him very happy!
Wow! What a great giveaway. Have lots of jobs for that pole saw.
Right now his desire is a Tesla!
If money were no object, I would get my husband a top of the line wetsuit for his triathlons.
His dream house!
Love these ideas!! Great for Father’s Day or hold a few over for Christmas…..
If money were no object I would buy my dad a house on a lake in Florida and of course there would need to be a boat in the garage!
I would get my dad a brand new Yamaha WR250F dirt bike!
Id love the grill. Also the hat and being a father as I am I would grill my daughter everything she wanted on it while eating the hat that keeps me cool!
