My dad is very special to me but every year I am challenged by what to get
him for Father’s Day.
There’s a good reason for this: dad never gets excited about any of the gifts
he receives and he already has a lot of great unopened gifts from past
Father’s Days and other special occasions.
Dad is a very loving and appreciative man but he is hard to select gifts for.
He’s just a cool dude!
This year I am determined to elicit some excitement from him!
One thing I know he loves is relaxing outside and soaking up the sun.
So that gave me a few clues.
Several friends of mine expressed the same concern, so I decided to search
for some gift ideas that are healthy, ecofriendly, well-designed and cool!
After a hard day’s work most fathers just want to relax–at least for a while.
And when the weather is warm and sunny, outside is where it’s at!
These gift ideas are designed to help dad kick back and enjoy some downtime–
whether chilling on a lounge in the yard, hanging with friends or family in the
park, puttering in the garden or out running, biking and feeling the wind
on his face.
Whatever you do, let’s show Dad some love!
Make Dad Feel Like “King for a Day”!

Show Dad You Love Him!
Of course, we all know that the best things in life are free.
So show Dad you love him by your actions.
Think about who he is and what he likes.
Bake his favorite cake.
Cook his favorite meal.
Take him to see his favorite team.
Play a game with him.
Or simply spend some quality time together doing whatever he wants to do.
Whatever you do, just show him some love–not just on Father’s Day–but
every day of the year.
What are your plans for Father’s Day?

Great gift ideas and of course, you’re right — spending time doing some of his favorite things is probably all he really wants! Found your link at This Momma’s Meandering Mondays, enjoy your week!
Great list! My dad is so sweet (like yours) but he is also so hard to buy for. He has everything he needs and if he wants it he and my mom will go get it. This is a great list and I love the drink cart 🙂 My husband, on the other hand is super hard but this year requested a fig tree…he’s my sweet little tree hugger 🙂
Hi Sami,
Both my husband and dad are difficult to shop for. I usually treat my husband a healthy but tasty dinner and a show since he has everything and wants nothing. But dad will love the garden chairs and outdoor stuff. I love the fact that your husband requested a fig tree. How sweet!
Lots of great suggestions there. I love that scooter and where we live would be great to get around in.
Al great gifts for dad. My hubby would love the hammock!
Hi Tara,
I think the hammock would work well in any backyard. I am thinking of getting one for my father’s home too!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. Have a happy day!
Thanks for linking this up on the Father’s Day Blog Hop! My husband would enjoy the hammock. 🙂 Great variety of ideas!
Fantastic ideas! Thanks for sharing!! My children are giving Grandpa and Daddy painted gnomes that they made… 🙂
Hi Meeghan,
How lovely! I loved to make my dad gifts like that when I was growing up. Parents cherish those precious gifts from their children. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it.
Hey, this a great list! I’ve been trying to figure out what to get my Uncle because I do something different every year. Most the time like you said he isn’t really into the whole give swap thing. He’s a guy and thinks it’s too soft for me. Most of the time he just wants me around to watch a game or just laugh about old times. My uncle is a simple man. Every now and again I get him a CD to some music. I think I’ll go with John Legend this year and a card because he loves R&B. Again, it’s always good to show the men in our lives that we appreciate them.
Best regards,
Sonja Sky

I want the wall planters. This is a great list Deborah and I love the free and loving handmade suggestions
These are great ideas. Love the hat and all the other outdoorsy items. I definitely lean towards time and acts of kindness as gifts – less clutter!
Great gift ideas for Dad! Thank you for sharing at Pin Worthy Wednesday!
An interesting line up of gifts! My husband would love the hammock for sure. I would love that electric bike for myself lol #Productreviewparty
Great Father’s Day and Summer item ideas!
Dads are so special. My hubby has already been throwing out hints about an amazon gift card. #productreviewparty
All of these gift ideas are great, even I would like some of them, like the lounge chairs. #ProductReviewParty
Some really terrific suggestions on this list. I haven’t decided what to do for hubby yet, so this is appreciated.
