If your dad plays golf, snag him this monogrammed ball carry case, which comes with three balls and four tees, and can clip onto his staff bag. It's also on sale, which is always good news!
The Hat
If you're a little stuck and don't know what to get your dad (or father of your children), a denim hat from one of our favorite child-friendly retailers is never a bad idea. The font is so subtle and small that he can wear it pretty much everywhere without feeling like he's begging people to read his hat.
French Fries Cufflinks
Give your dad the opportunity to add a touch of humor to his more formal looks with this set of cufflinks shaped like French fries. They're subtle enough that they don't draw too much attention, but every time he catches a glimpse, he definitely won't be able to help smiling.
Jigsaw Puzzle
Puzzles are a family-friendly gift that Dad can get really into. So after dinner, clear the plates, spread out the pieces, and go to town. Nothing feels better than slotting in that final piece.
Catch:3 Essentials Wireless Charging Tray
When we think "charging station," something this chic doesn't come to mind, so imagine how pleasantly surprised we were to see it in action, on a nightstand bringing an iPhone back to life. It also doubles as a catch-all tray for miscellaneous goods he doesn't want floating around in his drawer.
Handwritten Message Money Clip
This silver money clip may be on the pricey side, but hear us out: It's completely customizable, featuring a special message in your specific handwriting. How's that for personal?

Nonstick Kabob Grilling Baskets, Set of 4

Rondo Bluetooth Speaker
If he was born in the 1990s or earlier, this nifty little contraption will bring him back to the good old days when bedside radios were a thing. This one, which connects to any device with Bluetooth, isn't actually vintage (despite its appearance), but it's nostalgic in all the right ways.
Monogram Mug
Another gift that we consider fail-proof? A monogrammed mug. It has the personalization and usefulness built right in.
Toiletry Bag
All traveling dads need a do-it-all dopp kit, and this Paravel one is easily our favorite. Available in five colors, it's made from three upcycled plastic bottles, so it's an environmentally conscious gift that you may want to steal for yourself—unless you get it monogrammed with Dad's initials.
The Weekender
While we're on the topic of travel necessities, this weekender tote is a must-have for anyone who spends a good deal of time on the road (or in the air). It includes a large zip pocket, two slip pockets, a key leash, and a removable padded shoulder strap for easy carrying.
Golf Cart Float
Take his golf game to the next level with a cart-shaped pool float, which comes with a removable mesh and fringe-lined sun shade and dual cup holders for long days in the water.
The Artist Capsule
If you've ever tasted Brightland's myriad concoctions, you already know that this set is as delicious as the packaging is beautiful. That's because each bottle was designed by a different artist. Beauty aside, the set includes the brand's famous ARDOR chili olive oil, ROSETTE garlic olive oil, LUCID lemon olive oil, and the ARISE basil olive oil. Cooking (and eating) wont be the same after he tries these oils.
Insulated Double Wine & Cheese Bag
Because the oils are small, Dad can pop one in this insulated wine and cheese bag and bring it to the outdoor feast. The exterior is made of a cool waxed cotton canvas, but the inside is water-proof nylon, so it will hold up against any and all spills
Double Playing Cards
Pause family movie night and whip out these artfully decorated playing cards instead. The kids may be hesitant at first, but as soon as they finish one highly competitive round of Spit, they'll be obsessed.
Dad Bracelet
The sweet words aside, this is one of our favorite gifts because it's actually meant to be passed down. Just to be sure to register it so that the family can track its journey from person to person.
Cocktail Smoking Kit
Has Dad ever had a smoked old fashioned? If he has, he'l be thrilled to unwrap this elegant and moody set. If he hasn't, his life is about to change for the better.
Cast Iron Always Pan
Our Place's unique take on the classic cast iron pan is on our list for a reason: It's almost better than the more streamlined alternative. This one is a great find because it can grill, sear, braise, fry, saute, roast, bake, broil, stew, and serve. In other words, it can do it all.
