Fitbit. Apple watch. Ties. They’re all in a category of Father’s Day gift I’d call “been there, done that.” It’s so hard to find unique Father’s Day gifts, especially for the guy who either doesn’t need anything or really doesn’t want anything. Even if Doug doesn’t want anything, it doesn’t seem right to get him nothing, though we’re not big holiday celebrators (other than birthdays and anniversaries). We don’t go all out for Father’s Day and Mother’s day, but we do like getting each other fun, unique presents we wouldn’t ever buy ourselves. So here’s a roundup of some of the non-sucky, cool, unique Father’s Day gifts to get the special dad in your life this year.
Unique Father’s Day Gifts:
- Marvel Iron Man mug: For the superhero dad in your life, he needs a superhero mug. What guy wouldn’t want to drink his coffee from a cool mug like this?
- Cool shoes you actually approve of: I love these Nike Air Max 90’s, and they’re great for playtime and for a casual night out. They come in millions of colors, so find them in the color he likes. I’m partial to black myself.
- A coffee subscription: Wouldn’t he love to get coffee delivered to his door every month? This is a subscription your man will love.
- Non-stinky cologne: I’m not a huge fan of cologne in general. It’s always so overpowering and I feel like I can smell it for hours after the person is gone. I love this one from Atelier Cologne, it’s subtle. And if you’ve never tried Atelier Cologne, their women’s perfume is incredible. This one is my favorite.
- Old school Sega Genesis: Seriously, this is a gift for both of you. Because Sonic the Hedgehog. Need I say more?
- Kiehl’s Facial Fuel: At a certain point, you have to start taking care of your skin. Men, women, everyone. And anything by Kiehl’s is amazing in my book. My husband swears by this stuff, and I’m pretty sure I got it for him for Father’s Day one year.
- A cool weekender: I absolutely love my weekender bag and use it all the time. It’s perfect for a weekend getaway. Get him this bag as a little hint to him that he needs to take you somewhere fun.
- Smartphone photo lab: This is so cool for the guy obsessed with his phone who already has every phone accessory.
- Zoku ice ball molds: If your guy is into scotch, these are amazing; they keep the drink cold without too much ice meltage. Get him this and a bottle of his favorite scotch, and you’ll be his favorite mama ever.
- Car washes: If your guy is obsessed with his ride, get him a package of washes to his favorite car wash so he can keep his whip looking good.
- A swatch watch: Don’t want to spend a fortune but want to get him something cool? Swatch makes comfortable, fun time pieces that have been around forever. There’s a nostalgia there that makes them even cooler.
- When all else fails… cook him dinner! I know my husband loves a home cooked meal, especially one I spend extra time and care on. Steaks, anyone?
What are you getting your favorite dad for Father’s Day?
Great list! I like the car wash idea! never thought of it 🙂
Dads are pretty hard to buy stuff for! I think I’m definitely going to have to go with the food route for my dad this year!
I love these ideas!! My dad is IMPOSSIBLE to buy for and I’m always stumped what to get him. I love the idea of a coffee subscription and also a mug.
Love this post! Men are so hard to buy for. Thanks for the ideas 🙂
Good list! My dad doesn’t need anything, so we send jars of cashews 🙂
Great ideas! I’ll need to check them out – I still need to pick up a gift!
A coffee subscription is a great idea! I wouldn’t have thought of that 🙂

I love these ideas! thanks for sharing!!
These are fantastic ideas! I love the idea of a weekender!
Great picks! I’m going to check out the facial fuel!
My husband seriously uses it every day!
I love the Iron Man mug. Although, is it weird that I totally bought a Darth Vadar one like that for myself?
not weird at all!! <3
Really great post. I love finding lists like this for upcoming gift-Giving holidays. They help me out so much!
Same here, I love reading other people’s gift guides! They really help me think of things I haven’t thought of!
I love the idea of a coffee subscription, maybe someone will get that for me instead? LOL
LOL right? Someone get me one! With two babies in the house, it would really be a gift for me!
This is a great list! I wish I had seen it before I bought his gift already :/
