20 Godfather Gifts That'll Show Just How Grateful You Are

No one will take the place of your dear old dad—but, if you have one, you’ll know that a godfather is the next best thing. After all, not only has he been a trusted source of support and guidance, but he's also probably been by your side since your baptism or birth.

So it should come as no surprise that you might feel inclined to acknowledge all that he’s done for you (and continues to do) with a generous present on Father’s Day, his birthday, and other holidays. Yet finding something that truly feels extra special can feel difficult, if not daunting—which is exactly why we’ve compiled a list of great gifts for every kind of godfather. If he’s the mushy type, try something sentimental, like a personalized picture frame or piece of art. But if he’s more playful, consider a funny gift, like a movie-themed whiskey glass for fans of, yes, The Godfather. And if he’s best described as pretty practical, something he’ll actually use (like cozy slippers, snazzy socks, or a stylish hoodie) is sure to do the trick. Not to mention that we’ve also included a few presents for new moms and dads who are preparing to ask a close friend or family member the big question—as in, will you be the godfather of our baby?

The bottom line: Any godchild can’t go wrong with these gifts for godfathers, because they all send the same message—which is a big thank you. (Oh, and just be sure to include a thoughtful card, too!)
