Bullshit. You sound like a loser.

Dude, throwing stars and a straw hat?

Forget about getting your man card taken away, you never had it in the first place.

I am much more man than you, my friend. But by all means, go back to your stupid gadgets and video games.

Stupid gadgets? Arent you the one that suggest the leatherman multi-tool?

Bc while I appreciate that OP put thought into this, I (a 44 year old father of 2 kids aged 12 and 15) would not want anything in that post.

A panama straw hat?!? GTFO. a Newsboy hat?!? even freaking worse. nobody has every looked good in one of those. Jesus H.

All of these ideas may be good for OP, but christ almighty, these ideas are VERY specific just to OP.

Please ladies, do not just assume these are good ideas.

I am really sorry you are out of touch with fashion, but wide brim hats are all the rage for men. Fedoras and flat caps are back. Panamas in summer.

You might not look good in them, or lack the self-image to pull it off due to your insecurity. But they’re extremely popular and hard to find.

As a straight white male I personally want no gift.

I would like a day off

+100!

It's amazing how every list for father's day gifts are the same--booze, BBQing gear, hot sauce. As if every man is a stereotypical sitcom dad. I would give anything for a list had some imagination/creativity in it.

umm every prior dcum list I've seen has had BJ as #1.

Amen!

Please note: This list is offered in good faith and the assumption of a happily functioning family, including an engaged father and husband who wasn't neglectful of his own wife/mother/mother of his children a month ago. If he forgot, or whatever, I'm genuinely sorry for you but please don't derail my thread by harping on that. I'm offering this in genuine good faith.

I'm doing things across price points, in case that's helpful. Some of these things are probably out of budget for some people, and that's OK. It's just a list of things I would genuinely like. (And keep in mind, these are just "my" things -- other guys obviously have different interests -- I'm just hoping it gives a flavor of the TYPE of thing we like. Adapt to the men in your lives as you see fit).



High dollar stuff

-- A really nice straw Panama hat. Price: $50 to 75 for like a Bruno Capelli to $1,000 for a genuine Montecristi. But a good price point is the $180 or so for a hemp fedora from Stetson or Borsalino. Good online sources for hats include Village Hat Shop, Holland Hats in Connecticut, Hats in the Belfry, Dapperfam. Bonus if you pair it with a nice, authentic Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses with an attitude. You could also think ahead to Fall and go the felt hat route, but the good ones cost between $200-600 and up depending on whether it's rabbit, hare, or beaver. You can get wool for around $100. Caps are good too -- and are less expensive. Get him to trade baseball caps for a good newsboy. Depends on whether he's a cap or wide brim guy (or could be)... I just recommend the straw since he can wear it right away.

-- High-qualify bourbon, ideally something you have to get at the lottery or allocated drops at the ABC stores in VA. Pappy Van Winkle, etc. -- couple of hundred bucks if you can find it. Bonus: A monogrammed decanter and matching glasses.

-- Tickets to a sports event or concert. For me that would be like a weekend series for baseball, including overnight (i.e. a Saturday night game/hotel/Sunday afternoon game). Your guy might be into other types of sports. Splurge for decent seats.

-- Subscription to Stately, if he likes clothes (but only for a couple of months -- it'll add up.)


Medium dollar stuff

-- High quality multitool like a Leatherman.

-- High quality rain jacket. Check out the Danish maker called Rains. https://www.us.rains.com/collections/waterproof-rain-jackets?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0_WyBhDMARIsAL1Vz8tMy7vZ_GR3pMezj6l0OOE4DnPrb9WrUOtCEueuplbDIDu6T8TyISsaAlADEALw_wcB

-- Subscription to Bespoke Post. I've been very surprised by what I've gotten from them, including the aforementioned rain jacket.

-- Supplies for grill (not tools so much as something to cook beer can chicken with ... or other accessories he might normally buy for himself).

-- Something like throwing knives and a target.



Low dollar stuff

-- Hot sauces, a variety. Best if you actually select several yourself rather than order prepackaged collection.

-- Collection of teas or coffees.

-- Jelly Beans or a favorite candy from youth. Jelly Belly is the best brand, IMO.

-- Obviously, anything handmade by kiddos


Hope this helps. If I think of other things, I'll add to the list.

Thank you op but it's funny because most of these things my dh would not like..he doesn't drink and doesn't reallt watch sports.

So dad has to pay for the house with a chef, for his sons to go to the US Open and your day at the spa. You are too generous.

For MD and FD, DH and I always “exchange” a morning to sleep-in/relax, followed by a family activity, followed by more time to relax or do whatever we want in the afternoon. And we also each get $300 to spend on whatever want instead of picking a gift for each other. I realize that may not be as fun for some people, but personally I love being able to do what I want with it. Plus the kids make us little gifts. This is what has always worked for us!

No they can’t.
