Holiday Gift Guide: For Dad

Cait

Of all the people that I need to shop for during the holidays, my dad is by far the most difficult. Every year, I try to get him something that he’ll love, and every year, I feel like the answers are all pretty simple. He likes food, tools, and office supplies. You’ll see much of this on this list.

Here are some ideas about what I thought my dad would like this holiday season.

  • Liquor Nuts Tin - Beer & Whiskey Flavored - Gourmet Food Nuts Gift Basket

    Snacks are always a great gift. These are a little more elevated with a beer or whiskey coating, but still delicious.

  • Field Notes Kraft Ruled 3-Pack

    My dad is the kind of guy with a notebook in his pocket. These are the perfect size and have a durable cover and spine stitching for getting knocked around.

  • Cross TrackR Lustrous Chrome Ballpoint Pen

    There is something really special about a luxury pen. This isn’t your typical Pilot G2. It’s got a gorgeous chrome finish, and retails for around $100. They’re refillable and pretty. It’s the kind of thing you want to bring along to important meetings or to like, sign off on your first home or a big new job.

  • How to Make a Freaking iPhone App: iOS 10 & Swift 3

    This is a really unique gift. It’s an online course on how to create your own iPhone app. For someone who is pretty tech-y, and wanting to try something new, I think this could be a really interesting idea.

  • Ray-Ban RB3016 Classic Clubmaster Sunglasses

    These are a classic. They’re easy, and everyone should own a classic pair of sunglasses. Ray-Bans are the gold standard, and the traditional wayfarer design is flattering on everyone.

  • HATU Build-On Brick Mug

    I think that this would be a nice gift or stocking stuffer for an office dweller who is still a little bit fun. Also, Lego are really cool.

  • This Book Is a Planetarium: And Other Extraordinary Pop-Up Contraptions

    I usually get dad (or Charles) a book for Christmas, and this one is interesting. It’s a book that becomes a planetarium, among other things! It’s a change from the usual spy novel, and would make a great conversation place.
