Father’s Day is June 21st this year.

Now, Father’s Day comes every year – why do I act so surprised? And every year I am scrambling to find something unique and creative for my husband. He says he does not need any more clothes (but I say, just because you own it and it fits, does not mean you should wear it…..especially in public – but that is a story for another day). When he was working I bought him ties. Or boxers (cute and funny ones). But now, for a retired guy….I really have no idea – I couldn’t pick out a fishing lure if my life depended on it.

So, I went to Amazon. I became an Amazon Prime member about 4 years ago. I resisted for the longest time – just one more thing for me to sign up for. But, I do love love love it. I live in the middle of nowhere (cow country) and there are ZERO big box retailers near me. The closest biggish town is 50-60 minutes away. Amazon has saved my butt with their 2 day shipping. If you are not a prime member you should check it out here. FREE for 30 days – what do you have to lose? Especially when you see the list I put together for you below. AND, for a small fee, they will put your gift in a very nice gift bag (it’s cloth and can be reused again!).

What should I buy my dad for Father’s Day? My husband? My Grandpa? What should my kids buy?

I did a bunch of research and thought I would pass this all on to you. Why let all this good research go to waste? I tried to be creative and practical and, I stayed away from clothes. Bonus according to my husband! (If you have not met my husband check out his kayaking trip here (spoiler alert, he made it home in 5 days after a harrowing trip fraught with peril). I also looked at different price ranges. The easiest way for me to shop at Amazon is put all my options in my cart and then decide what I want and don’t want by comparing – you might want to give that a try as well.

One thing I did different with this Father’s Day Gift List for 2020…

I tried to envision YOUNG dads. Dads who are trendy and fun. Not like my dad…or my husband 🙂

PLUS, I included Amazon as much as I could. Since we are all still home it is easier to shop online.

A few Father’s Day Gifts created especially with YOU in mind!

Check them out!

(limited quantities available for some items. Don’t miss out on your faves).

1. Amazon Gift Card – he can pick whatever he wants. And, you can choose the amount. Takes the pressure off. Or, you can get him a gift and a gift card – he can then add the ‘accessories’. Kinda like a dress and jewelry for us 🙂

2. Sennheiser Wireless Headphones with Charging Station – Many models to choose from! These are wireless and bluetooth for watching TV. Your man can watch tv and you won’t hear a thing! And, if your man is hard of hearing he will be able to hear everything with these. I bought these for my husband a few years ago – he LOVES LOVES them. And, I can go to sleep and not hear all the action!

3. Apple AirPods with Charging Case – my son just purchased them and now they are on my list – I might just buy them for my husband this year (unless he proof reads this post – 🙂

4. Beats Headphones red and rose gold– for the music lover guy! So popular and I can see why.

5. Nintendo Switch (red and blue) and Nintendo Switch (Gray) – my son and his wife play all the time….together. Like Super Smash Brothers and all the other fun games. NOTE: This might not be available right now because it sold out during the pandemic. Gift card would be great…then he can buy it when it is back in stock!

6. Watch – there are a million watches on Amazon. Check them out – a bunch of price points as well. I have my favs picked out!

7. Wallet – my dad’s wallet was so full of stuff it wore a hole in his pants! A new wallet is always nice tho.

8. Make Your Own Hot Sauce Kit – a great and tasty project for your hot sauce loving man.

9. Electric Razor – an electric one might be nice for a change 🙂

10. Shaving Kit – this one is amazing!!! A bit of luxury to go along with the everyday mundane.

11. Manscape Kit – being old school…guys did not use these back in the day. But, I totally understand why they are popular now!

12. Oral B Toothbrush – these toothbrushes get your teeth sooo clean. They also clean at the gum line. You can buy extra heads – 1 for each member of the family.

13. HP Portable Socket printer – instantly prints 2×3 sticky back photos – FROM YOUR PHONE! Oh man, I need this one too.

14. Knife Set with a Block – this is perfect for those cooks out!

15. Personalized Golf Balls – he will never NOT know which golf ball is his anymore (is that a double negative)?

16. Alexa Device – I talk to mine all the time. I have the Alexa Dot – This is the newest version.

17. Smart Plugs – these can connect and be used with Alexa or stand alone with their own app. I have a bunch of lights that go on and off with the times that I scheduled in the app. These are the ones that I have and love – Gosund wifi outlet.

18. Nest Thermostat – works great with Alexa. This thermostat gets to know your habits and routines and sets the temp based on your own personal history. My son loves his.

19. Hammock – we have 3 hammocks and love them all. My husband takes naps in his all the time. I bought him the Hattaras Quilted Hammock last Father’s Day. It’s like sleeping in a bed! There is also a Hattaras Chair and an amazing stand for the Hattaras Hammock. We also love the Eno Hammocks. Don’t forget the Eno straps.

20. Grill Tools – how about a new set? Mine wear out after 1 season. Not sure why.

21. Grill – Or….even a grill. The old fashion charcoal ones have the best taste in my opinion. You can find them here.

22. Fitbit – keeping up with his steps, heart rate and activity level…all that data is good to know!

23. Kindle – imagine having any book at any given time. And, you can borrow his and read your own books. Win Win.

24. Security System – there are so many out there. The Ring Security System works with Alexa – now, that would be convenient! Or, how about a Ring Doorbell (I had this on my Christmas list – maybe next year!)

25. Car Vacuum – I bought one of these for my husband for Christmas – he uses it all the time. And I benefit with a clean car!

26. Bike Pump and Compressor – wouldn't it be nice to have something to blow up those flat bike tires!

27. Crosley Vintage Turntable – bluetooth receiver and built-in speakers

28. Away Luggage – luggage built for modern travel. I love love this luggage

29. Nespresso Machine – keeps him highly caffeinated so he can definitely complete that ‘honey do’ list.

30. AeroPress Coffee and Expresso Maker – this is my husband’s newest and most favorite coffee maker. The flavor is great.

31. All Birds Shoes – these must be the comfiest shoes ever made. Made from sustainable materials and very stylish!!

32. Warby Parker Sunglasses – great designs and great prices. Try 5 frames at home for FREE

33. Native Deodorant and Body Wash – I know… a bit weird. But, my husband LOVES their products. Especially the body wash.

34. Mugs, mugs and more mugs – created by me…for YOUR dad.

35. Father’s Day from Kids – little items – check all these out. From key rings, small signs to rocks with text.

36. You Need A Budget – awesome online budget program for all the guys who like to keep track and just know!

37. And don’t forget the card. Here are the cards from a wife. Here are the cards from the kids. And don’t forget Grandpa!

Imagine….

So, imagine your man laying in his hammock, reading his book on his new kindle (or listening to music with his new headphones) with his freshly shaven face that smells awesome and his bright white clean teeth, while the steaks (that have no fat cause he cut it off with his new knives) cook on his grill, using his grill tools, and they won’t get burnt cause he has a timer on his watch, or he asked Alexa to set a timer, wearing his ‘Best Dad Ever’ t-shirt, while drinking his Nespresso out of his new mug, and you taking a picture of him and print it on his new printer.

You don’t have to worry that anyone will break in the front door, while you are in the back, because you have a new security system and you know that the temp in your house will be perfect because your Nest knows how you behave. AND your lights will come on and it won’t be dark. Whew!

I hope you had fun shopping and this list helped you. I really had fun looking at everything. Who knew there was so much to buy. Make sure you get your Amazon Prime Membership. You won’t regret it – I promise. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!
