Good morning! I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was crazy but with some very exciting details thrown in so I will be sharing soon. In the meanwhile, time to talk about our favorite man – DAD. Do you have plans for Father’s Day? Racking your brain for gift ideas? Pull up a chair because I have a few random yet thoughtful ideas that might just work.
1. Gadgets
Has your dad recently upgraded his dinosaur of an iphone and all his gadgets are 30pin? Perhaps instead of dishing out $$$$$ for new gadgets that use lightning connectors, how about an adapter??
This relatively inexpensive adapter is an “Amazon Choice” with 4 stars. The manufacturers even have a list of compatible devices and the list is long so hopefully your dad’s gadgets (or yours!) will be on the list and that saves a trip to Goodwill and $$$$ on new gadgets.
2. New Tools for the BBQ
Does dad love to hang out by his BBQ this summer? How about a new set of grill tools for a new summer? And if you want to really cheese it up, there are several DAD options on Amazon.
3. Start a New Book Series
Does your dad love to read? Mine does and so this next suggestion is dedicated to him. If your dad loves thrillers, terrorist plots, action, adventure, American patriotism and/or political fiction he might just LOVE “Mitch Rapp” the beloved character of the late Vince Flynn.
Mitch is a clandestine operative for the American government and “American Assassin” may be the 11th book in the series but is the story of his journey to work with the CIA.
Also, you could tie in the gift of the book with the movie starring Michael Keaton as mentor Stan Hurley and David Suchet (Poirot) as the CIA Director Stansfield.
4. An Adventure
And don’t forget the option of an adventure! I took my dad whale watching thanks to Island Packers in Oxnard, California, in 2017 and it was INCREDIBLE. And they are accessible!! As is the incredible DA VINCI exhibit I reviewed last week at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, CA.
I hope these have been helpful suggestions and best wishes finding a way to make dad feel loved and special! x
Great ideas. I would choose the bbq tools and the book series. Thanks for sharing your great ideas
I’m not sure which one of these my dad would like so I might just buy them all!
Thanks for the ideas and I would love to take the “adventure” as a gift. ~

My hubby loves gadgets and he would love any of the items on this list. But this year we are going on an adventure. I’m so excited!
Thank you for t6he ideas. My dad is a big fan of BBQs so probably a new tool set for his BBQ would be the perfect gift!
I’d love to take my dad on an adventure! Whale watching sounds awesome, but less his speed. Maybe a professional NBA game, he’d love that.
I think my dad would really appreciate New Tools for the BBQ. He loves to cook so it will be very useful for him.
My father loves adventure and gadgets. So it’s a perfect option for me. I will be visiting my parents as soon as the lockdown cools down a bit. Thanks for the recommendations.
I have already done the first 3, but I love the idea of an adventure for Father’s Day! Thank you for the idea. 🙂
Great ideas!
now, How to somehow share this page with my wife….
These are great ideas. I think my husband would love the grill tools and the Bluetooth dock. Thanks for the gift inspiration!
I think that an adventure is a great gift for people who “have it all”. My husband loves traveling and new experiences, so it’s a perfect gift for him.
My husband loves to BBQ , so I will have to take your recommendation and purchase a new grill set for him! Awesome gift ideas!
