Last-minute gifts for dad because I can’t remember everything! I love my husband but he’s the worst to shop for. It’s made me think of some fun and unique gifts for him though, so I thought I’d share with you some fun Dad gifts!

I’ve been with my husband now for 5 years and between his mother and I we can never really find a ‘good’ gift for him, ever. Every occasion it’s always like great I have to get something for him! Meanwhile he’s the best gift giver I ever met, ugh!
I always start with what’s unique in the ‘Dad’ gift category.
This year I got him a keychain with the central one saying “Dada” and two pennies attached with the names of our kids and the corresponding years of their births. The first year I got him a T-shirt that matched our sons. Other things I’ve thought about though are…
- Beard stuff (he’s not like super into his beard so I wasn’t sure).
- Donation type stuff. He’s a big animal person so something that the money spent would go to different foundations for the animal.
- Posters from his favorite music, movies, etc.
- Trips, tickets, events for a get away or vacation.
Some of the best gifts I have gotten him.
- Bluetooth Speaker.
- Smart Watch!
- Phone.
- Anything personalized with our kids names.
Not great last minute dad gifts but god ones include…
- Things really personalized.
- Pocket watch
- Regular watch.
- Knife sets.
- Grill sets.
- Jewelry.
Things that he would love but include more.
- Camping equipment.
- Fishing equipment.
- Hunting equipment.
- Sporting equipment.
Cheap and easy to do, most of which you can find at the dollar store.
- Handmade Christmas ornaments, using flour and baking it is one I’ve seen done but haven’t personally used yet.
- Footprints on canvas.
- Pictures, I do a lot of pictures.
- Something symbolic of something you shared, frame a movie ticket stub.
- Collage of pictures or shared things. My husband and I traveled across the country and visited tons of National Parks and I saved something from each one. Usually pamphlets or other papers. My plan is to one day create either a photo album or collage with those materials.
- Anything you can make by hand. I can *almost* knit something worthwhile and I’d still love to finish a blanket I started crocheting for our son.
Make his favorite meals. Breakfast is always my husbands favorite meal so I always make eggs when it’s something special. Even though he makes them better.
What has he wanted forever? My husbands been wanting a tattoo for a long time and you can get gift cards for many places. Or just make an appointment and surprise him.
