Engraved Wallet

Now this is such a cool wallet for dads. It has so many areas in which you could choose to engrave a customized message, including the front and both sides in the middle. Plus it comes with RFID block technology to protect you from those scammers! And if you were to ask my fiance, he’d say his favorite part of a wallet is the flip pocket for the ID. So I’d say it’s pretty perfect.

Custom Beer Glass

This alone makes it one of the top special gifts for dad.

He now even has his own comb and beard care set for it! I never thought I’d see the day where I’d watch him care for his beard as much as he does now LOL. So anway, yup, this beard comb is a great birthday, Father’s Day or Christmas gift idea for any dads with beards!

Desktop Organizer

OMG I got this for my fiance for Valentine’s Day and he immediately put it to use. You can find his desktop organizer next to his side of the bed on the side table. Not going to lie, it looks a bit messier than this picture haha. But it’s because on the back, there’s more space where he has dumped his loose change and a few other smaller items. But I guess it’s better there than scattered elsewhere right?

Personalized Drinking Mug

Aw how cute! Now this is almost the exact drinking mug my fiance uses all the time. We got it for him last Father’s Day and is now where he drinks all his Micheladas from. And yes, my son loves it when he uses his mug since we “created” (aka personalized) it together online. It’s a special gift for dad that he can use on the daily which makes it a great Father’s Day, birthday or Christmas gift idea option.

  1. Lucy, thank you. I needed one more perfect thing. And that beer mug, I had to have it. Love the personalization that makes it special.

    1. Yes, it always does! They are always my favorite gifts as it’s definitely more meaningful, even if it’s something small ♥

  2. Cute ideas! I haven’t seen my dad in a few years and won’t again this year so I’ll stick with the usual gift of gift cards. I’m not sure if my kids will see their dad either because you know, 2020 problems, but these are great gift ideas for Father’s Day.

  3. I’ve gotten my husband the personalized beer glass before and he absolutely loved it. It’s the only glass he will have ‘drinks’ from. Thanks for the great ideas!

    1. Oh great idea… I didn’t even think about moms getting it for their sons as well, mine is only 7 so not in that mindset yet ?

  4. I love the mug and the beer glass. Such cool gift ideas. Ordering early is a good tip as I always find myself running after a gift at the last possible moment.

    1. Haha that was my fiance for me this Mother’s Day. I ended having almost a week of presents because they all came in late ? so yes, order early! lol

  5. I’m thinking about those socks and that beer glass for my dad. Thanks for the suggestions, it’s a good idea to start shopping early with so many people buying online right now!

    1. LOL I just got my sock order before they sell out ? and yes, so many online shoppers so longer shipping times and things selling out
