The Failsafe Last-Minute Father’s Day Gift Guide
send this to your wife for some ideas, or use it to shop for your dad
I’m always early and have a huge fear of being late. I was raised on “if you’re not 15 minutes early, you’re late.” But when it comes to buying gifts for the people I love, I’m almost always scrambling. I overthink, stall, and somehow believe I have more time than I actually do. So if you’re anything like me and still need a Father’s Day gift, here’s a quick list to make the search easier.
Poolside with Slim Aarons - who doesnt love a coffee table book? its art you can tough and is always a staple in a home. Any of Slim Aarons books are always a favorite, but this is my favorite.
Snake River Farms Wagyu Steak Variety Pack - im a huge fan of SRF and ive ben religious about their steaks for years. this is a great combo pack they have for father’s day. so if your dad is a meat lover, this is a unique and great gift that you might even get to enjoy with him.
Ralph Lauren Baseball Cap - you cant ever go wrong with a RL baseball cap. ever.
MADEIN Griddle set - my wife got me this for my birthday and it’s amazing. great for making smash burgers.
Meatr Plus Smart Thermometer - I sue this religiously when cooking. its super reliable and easy to use to gauge your cooking temp.
Craighill Summit Card Case - I recently bought this for myself and love it. its a Brass card case / wallet. you can fit about 5 credit cards and a small amount of cash which is really all we ever carry with us now adays always. you can pay extra for personal engraving which of course I did.
Nomad Goods Bifold Wallet with Tracking card - Another Wallet option if your dad is a leather guy, I recently discovered Nomad Goods and love their stuff. - this wallet is new and it comes with the Tracking Card which I use personally. it looks like a credit card but it works just like an apple AirTag incase you lose your wallet.
Nomad 65w MacBook charger - this thing changed my life. - it’s a 65w charger just like your massive brick that comes with your MacBook, but its 1/5th the size and weight. for traveling this thing is a game changer. it also has two usb-c slots not only 1.
Buck Mason Linen Shirt - I wore this shirt almost everyday in europe the last few weeks. top 3 shirts I’ve ever owned.
Smathers & Branson Needlepoint Golf Belt - i love the customization and hand crafted feel of S&B - this is a great golf belt if your dad’s a golfer. - you can also do fully customized ones, but lead time is longer than you’d probably want to wait.
Smathers & Branson Swing Oil Flask - pair this flask with your belt and you have a winning combo for a day on the course.
Ralph Lauren Cocktail Shaker - do you have a cocktail loving dad? this RL cocktail shaker is a level above the others and worthy to have sitting out instead of sitting in a cabinet somewhere in your kitchen.
Nostalgia Killer Travel Backgammon - shameless plug, but it really is a great gift. something you can enjoy with your dad anywhere, anytime.
Classic Buck Mason Tee shirt - Buck Mason does tee shirts better than most. simple, effective and timeless. everyone needs a great tee shirt.
Golfers Journal Magazine Subscription - I have every magazine from Golfers Journal. if your dad loves golf this is an awesome thing and a gift that keeps on giving. its not a stuffy lame magazine, its beautifuly packed with amazing photography and articles.
I hope everyone has an amazing Father’s Day weekend and to all the dad out there. Keep on keepin on!
