New Balance Sneakers
At this point, New Balance sneakers are an essential part of the dad wardrobe. A pair should be on every baby registry.
My dad has worn New Balance for as long as I can remember. And when those are worn, he replaces them with new ones. On and on for eternity.
So, if you’re shopping for a dad, get him a pair of New Balance sneakers. Even if he doesn’t need them. Because he will need them. (And, looking at that photo of my dad wearing his recently, he might need a new pair this year.)
Dad Bod Shirt
My sister-in-law, Pete, and I are all very obsessed with puns. So of course, this “It’s not a dad bod, it’s a father figure” shirt is perfect for me and Pete to give my brother (we actually gave him a similar one last year). And perfect for you to give your pun loving dad.
He’ll laugh so hard, I promise.
The shirt comes 12 colors. You can get it in sizes small to 3XL (so no matter what size dad’s father figure is, this will be able to fit him).
Withings ScanWatch Nova
Wearable fitness trackers have come a long way since I originally wore a clunky pedometer (like I wore my beeper in high school) to track my steps.
They’re actually a great way to be conscious of how much movement you are (or aren’t) getting. So a few years ago, we got my dad a watch that told time and counted steps.
But, if you really want to get something for your dad’s health, the Withings ScanWatch Nova is it. It tells time and counts steps, but it also tracks sleep, your heart rate, your breathing, your body temperature, it can run an ECG, and you can get your texts on it.
Pete has been wearing it for about two months now and he’s still learning things it can do, using the data to make himself the best version of himself.
Best Dad Hands Down Shirt
A million years ago, when my brothers and I were young, we made the shirt my dad is wearing in the main photo. My mom painted paint on my and one of my brother’s hands (and on my younger brother’s feet) and stamped it on a shirt she made for my dad.
Now, you can buy a similar shirt and have your kids stamp their hands with fabric paint. It’s so easy and something dad will wear for years.
NFL Sneakers
If your dad has a favorite sports team, these NFL sneakers are absolutely perfect. Plus, they’re a really practical gift. Every dad needs sneakers. You can search through and find sneakers with logos of all of dad’s favorite teams. So you might want to get a pair for each sports season.
If you think sneakers are a good idea, but you don’t love these ones, you can always get dad another pair of New Balance sneakers. That classic style will never go out of style.
Matching Shirts
We always think about mommy and me shirts. But how much fun would it be for dad to twin his baby too? If you’re shopping for new dads, a t-shirt and onesie combo is a great gift idea. If you’re shopping for an old dad, look for two t-shirt sets.
Of course you can search online and find your own favorite daddy and me sets. But, if you need a little help narrowing it down, this big slice / little slice set is my personal favorite. Plus, everyone loves pizza. So if baby’s onesie gets messy, dad can still wear his shirt all day long.
Sunglasses
Dads are always outside. They’re either manning the grill, mowing the lawn, or throwing around a baseball in the backyard. So a pair of sunglasses are the perfect Father’s Day gift idea.
Plus, if dad is always playing with his kids, there’s a very good chance his sunglasses are getting accidentally broken, washed away in the waves, etc. So having an extra pair (or three) is a really great way to make sure dad has a backup pair in case of any mishaps.
Knit Beanie
I know what you’re thinking. Father’s Day is in June. It’s hot. It’s sunny. Dad does not need a beanie right now.
But. He. Does.
The times you have to get dad a designated gift are Father’s Day, his birthday, and Christmas. If his birthday is during the warmer months, you’re left with Christmas. And he will already have a go to warm hat by then. So get one now.
Boominbelts
A lot of the bars and restaurants around here have a jukebox with an app so you can choose your songs right from your phone. Pete always joked that he’d set a song from the street, then walk in like he had theme music.
But, once we found Boominbelts, it was like he could have theme music everywhere.
It’s a belt with a Bluetooth speaker on front. So you just walk around with your tunes.
There is a metal faceplate that swaps with the speaker, so your dad can wear this as a regular belt if he’d rather that. But, I mean, if he can have a speaker on his belt, I think he’d wear that all the time.
Funny Socks
I buy Pete a new pair of socks every Christmas and put it in his Christmas stocking. I don’t buy him a pack of plain white socks, but rather, a sweet or funny pair. My brother once told me, “White socks are a wasted opportunity” and I really take that to heart.
So, buy the dad in your life a pair of funny socks this year.
If the socks are for your kids’ dad, the hot stuff socks I got Pete are great. If the socks are for your dad, you might want to keep them a little less spicy.
Bruno Marc Slip-On Loafers
Pete got these Bruno Marc Slip-On Loafers and loves them. He wears them all the time. They look like loafers, so they’re comfortable to wear in the house like slippers, but they have a hard sole so they are able to be worn outside.
He prefers a dark gum sole on his shoes, so he has black on black, but you can choose from a bunch of colors to fit dad’s wardrobe.
Also, funny note: That’s Pete wearing them above with a pair of funny socks I got him for Christmas this year. They have a rocket ship on them and his favorite saying, “I love you to the moon and back.”
