Here’s to you, Dad!

For many fathers and father-figures, they are the people behind the scenes, the one to run behind you as you pedaled your first two-wheeled bike (special thanks to my dad for racing after me during that first wobbly ride!), and the one you go to when there is something to fix in the house. 

On a day when we celebrate fathers, it makes sense to give them a gift that reminds them of why they are so great. As you can imagine, when it comes to Father’s Day gifts, I tend to go for the personal kind. Since I’ve done several personalized gifts for my husband since the time he first became a dad, it’s always a challenge to try to “top” the last one. 

And while Father’s Day tends to conjure up images of grilling and golf (who doesn’t love a good barbecue and preppy golfing attire?) I also want to offer some gift ideas for those men in your life that may appreciate something outside (or in addition to) those categories. My own father, for example, is a coffee aficionado and my husband is a tech geek at heart. 

So when you’ve exhausted the traditional tie and sock combo, check out these ideas from Jodi’s Gifts that will mark this Father’s Day as his best one yet! 

For the guy who loves to kick back on the couch when “the game” is on, a personalized sports themed flask.

For the techie in your life (see above - my husband), a personalized mobile phone case. 

For the handy type who can fix anything (at least until the professional arrives!), a monogrammed tape measure. 

For the constant organizer (or in need of organizing), an engraved money clip. 

  
For the world traveler, luggage tags. 

For the business professional type, sports themed or hobby oriented stationery. 

For the guy on the go, a travel coffee thermos featuring his initial or name. 

For the coffee (or tea!) lover, a personalized mug. 

For the golfer (told you I’m a sucker for seersucker!), a monogrammed golf divot keychain.
