How about keeping Dad (or another man in your life) safe and healthy for Father’s Day instead? We’ve got some ideas!

What are the activities that keep him happy?

Just like women do, men need some time to do their favorite things for their mental health, which keeps their brains happy and healthy. Maybe he needs a refresh on his sports equipment – a new mitt, club, racket, etc. Does he need some organizing tools? Or any other tools? 

Does he like crafts? Whether that’s woodworking or sewing or quilting (yes, dudes can quilt too!), make sure he’s got the right equipment. 

Not just in terms of materials for his craft, but also the space for his activity. Is it ergonomic? Does he need to stand up at a folding table? You can lift the surface so he doesn’t have to crouch down.

Treat him to an experience

Has he always wanted to drive a race car? Check out a specialty driving school that offers motorcycles, sports cars, or even actual race cars to drive. Off-road schools might be available as well.

Is there a place he’s always wanted to visit? If you’ve got the funds, this year could be the right one to travel there.

Does he have a favorite drink? Check around to see if any of the bars or restaurants near you offer flights or tastings of his fave beverage. Sake, whiskey, bourbon, wine, even craft beer tastings could be on offer.

How about doing something special at home?

Outdoor movie night, either at the local theatre or in your backyard is often a big win. Don’t forget the snacks and his favorite movie!

If he likes camping, plan a camping trip and update all the equipment as necessary. And again, don’t forget the snacks! This is a great way for the whole family to get outside and enjoy nature together. 

Or maybe he’s a picnic/barbecue/grill kind of guy. Make the day special, just the way he likes it.

There are some other gifts that aren’t soap on a rope or a tie. 

(Does he even need to wear a tie to work anymore?)

• Celebrity shoutout: see if his favorite star or athlete is willing to provide a personalized Father’s Day message.
• Subscriptions: not just magazines or beer or wine, but history by mail, crafting kits, beef jerky, shaving kits, watches … the list goes on.
• Tech fun: update for his favorite game/console, shower speakers, robot butler (like Alexa), new headphones, etc.
• Memberships: give him a Masterclass membership so he can learn about his favorite subjects and/or hear from his favorite gurus or teachers. Or maybe he could use a gym class membership to get moving at home.
• Make/grow his own: there are all kinds of kits for men to create their own versions of their faves. Hot sauce, beer, veggies, mushrooms… chances are you can find a DIY version for it.
