Father’s Day is almost here, and we want to celebrate our amazing baby daddies in the best way possible—getting him something unique, awesome, and (let’s be real) probably covered in bacon.


For all the diaper changes, encouraging texts when your daughter will not get dressed and you’re running (very) late, that awesome pep talk on your first day back to work after maternity leave, and everything in between—we want to shout it from the rooftops—you ROCK.

We found the best gifts for every kind of dad out there—from the dapper dad, to the grill master, and everything in between—we’ve got you covered, mama.

Here’s our ultimate Father’s Day gift guide to show your man what a wonderful dad you think he is, whatever his style—

1. For the everyman

Man Crates

These awesome crates are filled to the brim with everything from hot sauce to coffee percolators, depending on which specialty you choose. Bonus—they come with a crowbar to crack them open. Let’s just say, he will be impressed.

Bacon of the month club

Could you imagine a new type of bacon delivered to your door every month? Talk about a gift for yourself, too. (They also have many other monthly clubs—everything from chocolate to hot sauce to olive oil club, and more.)

2. The cool dad

Personalized cornhole set

The game of cornhol (baggo, bean bag toss) has really picked up steam the last couple of years. If you’re at a fun BBQ (and even some weddings), you’re pretty much guaranteed to see a cornhole setup in the backyard. This is a staple for keeping the cool dad’s social game on point.

Beardition beard grooming kit

Whiskey and rum kit

Bourbon, rum, or whiskey get better with age (just like the two of you), so let him customize his own spirits to his liking with this DIY kit. He’ll think you’re as smooth as Tennessee whiskey. Well, because, you are.

Cocktail shaker

Every James bond knows you can’t stir a martini. You must shake it. Gift him his own cocktail shaker and he’ll be feeling as suave as 007 in no time.

4. The dapper dad

Trunk club gift card

You Stitch Fix or Le Tote, he Trunk Clubs. Everyone deserves to look stylin’, and it’s not as easy to shop for ourselves during these busy days. A gift card to a personal stylist service is thoughtful and helpful.

Father + son matching swimsuits

Is there anything cuter than seeing your mini-man wearing the same bathing suit as his proud papa? We’re not sure there is. Tom & Teddy suits are what preppy dad’s dreams are made of.

A shirt that proudly proclaims “best dad in the Galaxy” would impress even the most advanced Jedi’s. May the force be with you this Father’s Day.

Cassette tape pen holder

This throwback to mixed tape days of yore is the perfect office accessory. Only downfall is that you’ll want to take it apart so you can pop it in for a listen…but it’s too cute to break.

Homemade bacon kit

Sure he’s eaten his fair share of delicious bacon, but has he ever cured his own? The satisfaction of curing your own bacon is high, so expect excitement levels to match.

10. The grill master

Hot sauce pack

Allow him a break from his Sriracha bottle, and introduce the grill master to a four pack of hot sauce straight from Portland, Oregon. This pack comes with four 4oz bottles with flavors like red chili lime and smoked habanero barbeque (YUM.) He’s got hot sauce in his bag, #swag.

Morning, noon, and night coffee

New parenthood can leave you feeling more tired than you’ve ever felt in your life. You may even reach zombie status. So, caffeine please! This energetic trio will keep the new daddio feeling refreshed (okay, as refreshed as possible…) at any time of day.

image 2222 Motherly

Toddy cold brew coffee maker

Some days just call for iced coffee instead of hot. And on those days, the Toddy cold brew coffee maker is where it’s at—for iced coffee or iced tea. It also makes piping hot coffee (but no electricity required!)

image 2223 Motherly

12. The outdoorsman

Roo hammock

Adventure. Adrenaline. And…a place to sleep. This hammock can fit two people, and would be a super fun way to sleep on a camping trip or to take a break on a long hike. Just hook it up, hang out (literally), and then pack up quick and be on your way. Adventure awaits!

Classic vacuum pint glass

This glass is super useful for everyone from the seasoned outdoorsmen to the person who prefers glamping, if they must. It won’t rust, is BPA-free, and will keep a drink cold for up to 4.5 hours and a drink hot for 1.5 hours.

13. The athlete

Wool running socks

These made-in-Vermont socks are lightweight, comfortable, and won’t slip or bunch (which is sooo annoying.) Merino wool will keep your feet cool in the summer and warm in the winter—which basically means it’s a magical fabric.

image 2226 Motherly

Football leather coasters

This set of four coasters are made of the same leather footballs are made from—so they are water resistant and durable. And will be awesome tailgating accessories this fall.

Planner

Simple, clean, and minimalistic. Planners are amazing and life-changing when it comes to organizing your time and to-do lists.

And, if planning and organizing is something he needs a little help with, well then he will eventually appreciate this gift.
