What Does Dad Want? Father's Day Gift Guide

Have you ever wandered the aisles of your local home improvement store looking

Have you ever wandered the aisles of your local home improvement store looking for something Dad would love to get as a gift? When shopping for Father's Day, do you ask Dad for a wish list, or do you make a wild guess? You may have a tradition of giving Dad a new fishing pole or a new pair of sneakers every year. We try to find creative, fun gift ideas to help with your Father's Day shopping.

Do you have a competitive Dad? Do you know the guy who is always looking for a reason to challenge you to a game of hoops? Well, PaddleSmash might be the perfect gift for your guy. Referred to by the company as ‘portable Pickleball,’ PaddleSmash is like a mix of Pickleball & Spikeball. The set includes a foldable court and net, four paddles, and two balls. The game can be played 2v2, 2v1, or 1v1. Perfect for family game night, hanging out with the neighbors, or keeping the teens away from the screens, you just "bump, set, and smash!"

We love that it's portable, so you can easily take it to the beach, the lake, or on your next vacation. Another part of the fun factor is everyone is learning how to play together, which makes it a bonding experience.

PaddleSmash is available at Dicks Sporting Goods, Scheels, and Amazon.

We love our Solo Stove firepits and are always looking for new ways to enjoy ourselves around them. Pit Command sent us a set of their Talons to use, and it makes loading logs into our Solo Stove Yukon easy and safe.

Talons: MSRP: $129

For Smokeless Firepits (Solo Stove, Tiki, Breeo, etc.), these sharp talons are designed for picking up logs and placing them in the firepit without getting burned. They’re easy to use with just one hand, meaning you can stay hydrated while adding new logs to the fire. Our favorite feature is the design: the molded grips are comfortable. Plus, I can store the previously used welding gloves and use the Talons instead.

Pit Command uses durable materials and finishes with carbon steel and a high-heat powder coat so the talons can withstand outdoor abuse.

Talons are made in the USA-Dimensions: 24"x4"-Weight: 1lbs 5oz

I wasn't going to include fire pits in my gift guide for Dad, but how can I share the Talons without talking about how awesome Solo Stove fire pits are? Something about our Solo Stove motivates us to get outside and spend more time together. Plus, from the ease of use to portability and the versatility of adding a cooktop and making everything from breakfast, burgers, steak, or a pizza, the Solo Stove is the perfect gift for Dad that the whole family can enjoy.

We have a Ranger, Bonfire, and Yukon, and I find the Bonfire is the one we use the most for sitting around the fire. Solo Stove is one of my favorite companies with a lifetime warranty and exceptional customer service. You can check out the Pi Fire accessory for pizza nights or go with the Pi Fire and say goodbye to delivery.

Help Dad stay hydrated and show off his love for Star Wars with a sports canteen from Corkcicle. These are perfect for the patio, by the pool, on the boat, or even the commute to work with their cup holder-friendly shape. Or, if Dad enjoys whiskey, check out their whiskey wedge glass.

Does Dad often travel for work? It may be time to upgrade his carry-on bag with a duffle bag that will outlast him. We love finding companies passionate about quality, and Saddleback is the perfect example of a company that values craftsmanship. They stand behind that with a 100-year warranty on their bag.

Made with just three big pieces of full-grain leather, the Three-Strap Leather Duffle bag is designed to be simple and rugged. This weekender has a large interior pocket on each end, weighs 5.50 lbs, and dimensions are (W x H x D) 19.25″ x 11″ x 9.75″.

Of course, we know Dad will appreciate anything from Saddleback leather, and they offer everything from bags to wallets, phone cases, and more.

For the Dad that loves baseball, give him an MLB stadium blueprint of his favorite stadium, perfect for displaying in his man cave or office. The blueprint is printed on museum-grade archival paper and framed with an acid-free archival board. It comes ready to hang. This item is an Uncommon Original: created by their in-house team and only available at Uncommon Goods. They also have college stadiums available.
