It’s almost Father’s Day, and during this time, there seem to always be two categories of gift-givers: those who have an easy time deciding what to get Dad, and those who have been thinking about what to get Dad for months and still haven’t come up with anything. This blog post is for the latter group.

We get it. Sometimes deciding on a gift for Father’s Day is really difficult because either your dad already buys everything he wants or just isn’t easy to shop for. So, if you’re struggling to prepare for the upcoming holiday, here are a few ideas that might give you that last-minute eureka moment.

FOR THE DAD WHO DOESN’T LIKE TO STAY AT HOME …

What’s an activity that your dad would love? For example, maybe he’s into sports. Is there a game happening during Father’s Day weekend that you could get tickets to? Maybe he enjoys live music. Is there a local spot that will play some tunes he loves? And if he likes to fish … well then, you might have to slip on your waterproof shoes and find a body of water. Remember that there are usually a lot of events happening during Father’s Day as well.

FOR THE DAD WHO WORKS TOO HARD …

Whether it’s a desk job or a physical job, work can come with a lot of stressors, physical and mental. Help your dad take a break by purchasing a massage for him, perhaps even one with a sauna! If he can go to the appointment right before or at the beginning of Father’s Day weekend, he’ll be much more relaxed and able to enjoy any festivities.

FOR THE DAD WHO ENJOYS PLAYING GAMES …

If you know your dad would prefer a gift but also want to be creative, consider doing the paper-picking trend on TikTok and Instagram. For example, one round could be him choosing between two stores that he loves and another could be him choosing whether he gets three things for $10 or one thing for $30. Another idea could be that he must choose a gift that’s a certain color and you have two color options for him. There are a variety of ways that you could make this little game exciting!

FOR THE DAD WHO LOVES MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS …

Choose a nice restaurant or drink spot he loves and take him out! And while you’re enjoying the food, the drinks and the atmosphere, talk with him about what’s going on in his life and what’s going on in yours. Being real in your conversation can be exactly what this type of dad needs to feel special this holiday.

FOR THE DAD WHO ISN’T INTO GIFTS OR EXPERIENCES …

Consider doing something for him that would help him out or make him happy (aka, an act of service). Making “coupons” might seem a little cheesy, but they can really work for these types of fathers. For example, give him a coupon for the lawn to be mowed, the car to be cleaned, his favorite dessert that you make, his tools or office to be organized, etc. The most important thing is that YOU do the act of service.

Gift-giving during Father’s Day doesn’t have to be so difficult as long as you get creative with your ideas and compare them to what your dad does and doesn’t like. After all, we want to show our fathers that we love them, and what better way than showing them that we really know them?
