Smart Ring – For the dad who prioritizes his health

Cocktail Subscription Kit – For a cocktail lover
Your dad will receive everything he needs to make four servings of a cocktail, booze not included—but why not gift him that separately? Besides, the whole family can toast to Dad’s special day with personalized pint glasses.
Personalized Cutting Board – For the chef dad
Give your dad the spotlight with this customized cutting board, or throw Mom’s name on as well to give him a little company. The options are endless, just as long as they fit within the character limit—but initials or last names are an easy way around that. A sweet way to pay homage to your home state (or your dad’s). You could even gift a pairing of two states!

A pick with a good quote will be a great gift. For example, a quote saying “I couldn’t pick a better Dad.” It’s just the thing to give to any musical parent.

Best activities for Father’s Day
Trace your family’s roots
Even if you think you already have a grasp on everything there is to know about your dad, there’s so much more to his story. Take a walk down memory lane by flipping through his photo albums and school memorabilia. Then take time to trace your dad’s family tree to get a deeper look at your family’s past and present.
Plan a family workout
Even if you’d rather spend your Sunday lounging on the couch, Father’s Day is a time to do whatever your dad loves most — even if it’s working out. Skip the gym and hit the trails or jog along the water. Or if the weather isn’t in your favor, let him choose an at-home workout that you can do right in your living room.
Get your karaoke on
Crank up his favorite tunes, pass the mic, and watch him bring down the house with his serious karaoke skills. Bonus points if your dad busts out his dance moves while he’s on stage a.k.a. your living room floor.

Host a wine tasting
For all wine-loving dads, the ultimate treat on Father’s Day is an at-home wine-tasting event. Complete a selection of the best wines with a beautiful spread of cheeses and grapes, along with a scorecard to keep track of all the wines he’s tasting.
Backyard picnic
Pile Dad’s favorite main dishes, sides, drinks, and treats (to satisfy that sweet tooth!) into a basket or cooler, grab a blanket and head out to the nearest patch of grass for an alfresco affair. Enjoy your beautiful backyard and play some outdoor games, like cornhole, horseshoes, or croquet. It will tap into his competitive side, plus it’s a great way to get active before a big Father’s Day cookout.
Take Him Shopping
How many times has he taken you shopping and picked up the tab? Even if he’d rather do, well, anything, other than shop, get creative. Country Living recommends pick a store you know he already loves or leads him to discover a new favorite.
Pamper him with a spa day
Dads deserve some pampering, too! Turn your home into a relaxing spa by lighting candles and playing soothing music. If you or your kids aren’t great at giving messages, give him a gift basket full of self-care goodies, including shaving creams, lotions, and soaps.

Bring him to a favorite dinner
Give Dad what he really wants on Father’s Day: a nice meal of his favorite, such as a glass of his favorite bourbon. Practice the recipe ahead of time to ensure that you can sear the steak just right.
Plan an outdoor movie night
Since drive-in movie theaters are hard to come by, set up an outdoor screening in your own backyard. Shine a projector against a blank wall and pick one of dad’s favorite movies to watch as a family, Good Housekeeping advises.
Go for a hike
Enjoy the great outdoors as a family by hitting up your local hiking and biking trails or driving to the nearest National Park in your area. Let dad choose the path and be ready to take tons of family photos.
