Can you believe it’s almost Father’s Day? For some reason, I have way more trouble getting my dad the right gift than my mom. If you’re anything like me, here’s a little guide to help you pick out the right gift for your old man.
For the Culinary Dad: This DIY apron mixes sentimental value with practical use. If your dad is a self-proclaimed chef (and you’re a crafty person), make him a plaid apron in a few simple steps using this template by Waverly. <<Get the Full Instructions Here>>
For the Playful Dad: My dad LOVES gadgets, and that can get — expensive. This condiment dispenser by Sharper Image would be a good alternative. Okay, so it’s not the latest iPad, but it’s still something he can play with and get use out of, right? And you can pair it with this hand-painted grill platter.
For the Traveling Dad: Get something a little different this year. If your dad travels a lot, he would love this scratch map that charts everywhere he has been. Wouldn’t it look charming in his office?
For the Artistic Dad: If your dad appreciates art, then something frameable and hand-stitched is the way to go. Stampa has a limited edition collection that includes hand-stitched, iconic Father’s Day gifts, such as a “#1 Dad” coffee mug, an Old Spice bottle, colorful neckties and more.

My dad has always wanted a sailboat – but it's always been to expensive. So for Father's Day, I'm wanting to by him a small boat or even a drawing. A painting would even warm is heart!
If your dad wants something that he's never gotten because of price – give him something that will mater just as much!
The condiment dispenser is really cute!
That condiment dispenser is so cool! What dad wouldn't love that?!

These gifts are awesome!! I totally just purchased the scratch map for my dad and step mom! They travel abroad 2 times a year and are having a hard time keeping track of all the wonderful places they've vistited! This is the most perfect gift!
thanks for posting this fabulous idea!
this would be perfect for Dad's who can work some magic in the kitchen and on the grill. I wish I'd get something like this for Christmas honestly.
