Happy Father’s Day to all you father figures out there! We love ya. Honestly, is shopping for your husband or dad basically impossible for you? Because it is impossible for me. And when you take a look at all the other “man” gift guides on the internet they are allll like Golf! BBQ! BEER! and my husband and dad don’t like any of that stuff. Just about the only typical thing that I often see in those guides that the men in my life like is fixing things so like the tool category is a good one… I guess. Surprisingly, my father in law is pretty easy to shop for 🤷🏼‍♀️ And I don’t know why- he’s a fan of gardening so that’s the route we typically take.

ANYWAYS… I’ve put together some of my ideas. Brandon if you’re reading, um, stop. K, thanks 😉.

The Comfy Dad

Exhaust-Dad Shirt– I got this amazing shirt for Brandon for Christmas. I was going to say this is especially for new dads but let’s be honest, I don’t think you get any less exhausted. Bonus points! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this brand. They have an amazing purpose and their stuff is just so cute. Straight from their website; here’s their manifesto bulletpoints:

I believe in being as eco-conscious and earth-friendly as possible;
I believe in designing, creating, and selling apparel with “soul;”
Quality is important to me. I won’t sell anything I wouldn’t buy for myself or my own family.
I believe in community and lifting our fellow mamakind up.

Crocs– bahahahahahahaha!!!! My husband went from hating on my crocs to wanting his own pair. I win! Needless to say he’s getting a pair this year. I love the classic crocs so much that I included them in my Mother’s Day Gift Guide as well. They are the best, just trust me.

Lululemon ABC Pants– I mean, pants are not exactly the first thing you think of for a gift but hear me out. Does your dude have to wear business casual? Seriously though, dress slacks are the f-ing worst. So we have found an alternative. Swap out the dress pants with the Lululemon ABC Dress Pants. BAM! Stretchy, comfortable, and they actually look good. Seriously, Brandon has gotten away with wearing them with a sports coat at a wedding. Bring on the dance parties (or just sitting at a desk)!!

The Swoll Dad

Hydroflask– Who doesn’t need to drink more water? And your dads are a part of that! Brandon (and I, let’s be real) suck at drinking water. Like we suck. BUT we’ve gotten sooooo much better with a good water bottle by our sides. Now when it comes to water bottles there are so many options out there but we really like the OG hydroflasks. Brandon has a 40oz one while I have a 36oz one. The only problem with them can be fitting them in a car cup holder so do yourself a favor and measure it out or grab one of these to convert your cupholder.

Obvs this is mine with the Gilmore Girls and Crocs sticker lol

Message Gun– We freaking love our *cough* knock off *cough* Thera-gun. We got ours at Costco for about $90 but there are even cheaper ones online as well. This is the best thing if you workout or if you’re over 25 and all of a sudden you sneeze wrong and your back is gone. It can’t be just me right? lol.

The Foodie Dad

Mike’s Hot Honey– If you have a foodie dad this is for you. HOLY SHIT it is so good. We put it on cheese, pizza, chicken, potatoes, literally anything… it’s seriously the best stuff.

Trader Joe’s Spices– We love the Trader Joe’s Spices so much. They have some great blends that are different than what you see at regular grocery stores. We love the Everything But the Elote one (we love it mixed in with taco meat, guacamole or of course on grilled corn). The 21 Seasoning Salute is also really yummy. We love it on chicken and potatoes. Of course there is the Everything But the Bagel seasoning that is viral.

Snoop’s Cook Book– This. Is. Amazing. Is anyone else as obsessed with Martha Stewart and Snoop’s relationship as I am? Like I just love the opposites attract quality (although let’s be real Martha is not exactly innocent haha). It has recipes like “Go shorty it’s your birthday cake” and “California rollin” sushi. Does it get better than that?

The Goofy Dad

Kiddo Face Socks– OMG these are aaaaaaaammmmmmaaaaaaazing! I feel like I don’t really need to say much about these because… I mean just look at them. I cannot even.

Dad Joke Book– I’m not usually a fan of silly “junk” that might just sit on a shelf… but this book is hilarious. If you’ve got the kind of dad that a) loves dad jokes or b) maybe looks for some reading material when he’s on the throne?? (lol) this might be the gift for you.
