6 Father's Day Gifts He'll Love (That Are Last-Minute-Friendly!)

Father's Day is nearly here and whether you're on the hunt for the dad-to-be in your life, the dad in the thick of it with you or the dad who has absolutely everything (*raises hand*), there are plenty of Father's Day gifts out there that you can still snag in time. If you're looking to celebrate your husband or partner's first Father's Day, remind your Dad you're always going to be his daughter (even though you're a full-on mom now) or commemorate how far your husband has come as a dad, we've got you covered. Here are six of my all-time favorite Father's Day gifts that I've given my own husband and Dad. They've loved them and I know the men in your life will, too. Without further ado, the six best Father's Day gifts. 

6 Father's Day Gifts He'll Love

1. Fathers Day Gifts: A Monogrammed Button-Down

J.Crew Monogrammed Button-Down

This is hands-down my favorite and one of the most popular gift Father's Day gifts I've given to the dads in my life. I'm partial to a crisp white button down with a monogram at the cuff. For my Dad, I prefer to do his initials, NA, but for my husband I once did ILY (I love you) and he absolutely loved it. I've also given them both monogrammed pajamas from J.Crew and cashmere sweaters, both of which I had their initials monogrammed on at the chest. I'm partial to their classic block monogram in black stitching, but it really depends on their taste and color preference. 

2. Father's Day Gifts: A Subscription Box

This is so funny to me but another one of the most popular Father's Day gifts I've ever given my husband is a pickle subscription box. What can I say, the man loves pickles, especially artisanal limited edition ones. And while a pickle of the month subscription may not be up the dad in your life's alley, there is a plethora of options. For instance, a jerky subscription, book subscription or even the GQ best stuff box may be a better fit. Or even something like a magazine or newspaper subscription make great Father's Day gifts if he's a purist and prefers to read without a screen. This is a great chance to get creative and make him and his interests feel seen. 


3. Father's Day Gifts: Snake River Farms Steaks

While it may seem like a strange gift, Snake River Farms is the highest quality meat and my family and I love giving it as a gift. Last year in lieu of Father's Day gifts, I sent my parents a couple of American Wagyu Black Filet Minon steaks for Father's Day that my Dad could grill and they absolutely loved it. That was a gift on the smaller side, but typically we give the Snack River Farms Best Sellers Gift Pack, which is customizable, as a gift. It's always a hit and that makes it one of the most ideal Father's Day gifts.

4. Father's Day Gifts: "I Love Daddy This Much" Book

This gift always tugs at my heart strings. If you're becoming first-time parents, you can personalize this book to include your baby's name and a banner that says on your first Father's Day. And even if it's not his first Father's Day, you can customize the child's name and appearance. My husband and my elder son have shared so many memories reading this book and it's very sweet to see how much they both love it. It's personalized, simple and ships quickly--the criteria for all of my favorite Father's Day gifts.

5. Father's Day Gifts: Matching Board Shorts

Anything matching will do, in my opinion, but there's something special about a matching Daddy and baby Minnow swimsuit. Annually, I gift my husband and my boys matching swim trunks from the brand and they're just so darling. I love the prints and appreciate that they're available in a range of sizes and in women and girls styles too so if we have a little girl down the line she can join in on the matching fun, too. Kenny Flowers also makes the cutest matching family swimsuits and resort wear. And Kenny's wife, Christina (aka Jet Set Christina) is also a Little Shadows mom. Both make for great Father's Day gifts. 


6. Father's Day Gifts: Aesthetic Dad Hat

There's plenty of Dad merch on the market, but I prefer something a little more understated and less cheesy, like this low-key Dad hat. Not only is it a great Father's Day gift, but it's also inexpensive at just $20 and is aesthetic enough to wear daily. It's also available in multiple colors so you can select which best suits his wardrobe.
