Don’t Know What to Get Stepdad? Five Father’s Day Gifts Ideas He’ll Actually Use

It’s that time of year again when your father and/or stepfather becomes the hardest man in the world to shop for.  Some dads make choosing a gift nearly impossible. Many of these lovable guys do not typically collect little knick-knacks or jewelry. They don’t usually want a closet stuffed to the rafters with ties.

However, you do not have to panic as Father’s Day draws near. There are a wide variety of gifts out there, and certainly you can find one that suits your hard-to-shop-for guy. Here are five Father’s Day gifts he’s sure to love and enjoy.

Night Vision Goggles

Guys love gadgets, and what one wouldn’t love the idea of actually being able to see in the dark? Especially in about the coolest fashion possible. Consider getting a set of night vision goggles for your dad and a set for yourself so that you can play some after-dark war games out in the yard or do some late night nature watching. These are also a great choice for dads who enjoy camping.

A Great Tablet

If your dad seems stuck in the Stone Age and has yet to join the technological age, then it could be time to get him a simple tablet. While some of the top brands such as iPad and Samsung Galaxy can be somewhat costly, you can find many other brands at lower price points.

Before you give the tablet to your dad on Father’s Day, upload some apps he will enjoy and make sure to find some that will show him how useful it can actually be. Bump it up a level by including a gift card for him to buy some more apps of his choice once he gets the hang of it.

The Best Grill Kit

Even guys who avoid the kitchen most of the time enjoy cooking on the grill. It appeals to their masculinity to cook over the open fire. If your dad is using some old utensils that are falling apart, then it’s time to change the trend.

Get him a fine grill kit that includes a handy storage box for the items. Satisfy his need for gadgets by getting one that comes with a talking meat thermometer.

A New Tool Box

If you’ve been giving your father tools every year, then it may be time to help him get those tools organized. And odds are he’ll be happier if you just go for more than just the tiny little plastic toolbox.

He likely has about a half-dozen of these tucked away in the basement or garage. Look for a quality metal box that is built to last and be durable.

If your budget can handle it, get him a larger chest with space for power tools below and the important hand tools above. It might not be the most exciting gift to buy, but many guys really appreciate the convenience it can add to their lives.

The Coolest Joy Ride

There’s nothing like the breeze in your hair and the open road stretched out before you. A motorcycle is obviously a huge investment, so you will likely want to talk it over with him, have him join you in selecting the bike, and get all the proper safety gear and training that your father will need. If he already has a bike, then you can make this year’s gift selection easier by finding a cool accessory for his ride such as Immix motorcycle skid plates.

The most important thing you can give your dad is your time. Help him set up the tablet, offer to come over for a cookout, and make time to help him fill that toolbox and organize the garage. Your dad will appreciate the gifts, and you’ll both love the memories.
