With Christmas rapidly approaching, it’s time to start shopping. In most families, there is no one harder to Christmas gift shop for than dads and dad figures. Shopping for moms is easy—a nice sweater or a pair of slippers make an easy, but still greatly appreciated, gift. But shopping for dads? Impossible. If you are in a shopping rut like I am, here are some ideas.
Funny socks
Typically socks make a pretty lame gift. But throw a fun design on them and it will be the funniest gift anyone will open all morning. The brand “Sock It To Me” has tons of socks targeted towards fathers. Plus, they have socks designed towards your dads’ exact hobbies, from grilling to golfing, even to beekeeping. Each pair of men’s socks rounds out to about $15, so a pair or two would make a perfect gift.
Tickets
Whether your dad is a fan of music, sports, comedy, or an amusement park, tickets to an experience are sure to be appreciated. These tickets are typically pretty pricey, so consider pairing up with another family member on this gift. Plus, if the event is something you enjoy too, it is also a gift to yourself!
Merch
If your dad is a fan of a sports team or a band, but there are no events coming up, merch is a perfect substitute. Now that it is getting colder, a hoodie embellished with his favorite thing would be great. Just make sure to put yourself in his mindset before pressing check-out; while you might think that sparkly hoodie is cute, your dad might not, so make sure to get him something he will actually wear and appreciate.
Something for his hobby
This one is pretty specific, but new equipment for your dad’s favorite hobby is sure to be something he will actually use. For example, if your dad’s a golfer, maybe get him some new golf balls or a new golf towel, or if your dad grills, maybe get him new tongs or some seasoning.
Hope this helped, Royals. Your dad or dad figure is sure to love all these gifts. Merry Christmas!
