Five dads. Five personalities. Three ways to spoil him.
Finding the perfect Father’s Day gift can be tricky, especially when Dad is the kind of person who buys what he needs before anyone else gets the chance.
So instead of guessing, start with the things he already loves.
Is he happiest standing beside the barbecue? Does he take his coffee very seriously? Is he the one behind the bar when friends come over? Maybe he’d rather be outdoors, or you can usually find him somewhere near the water with a fishing rod in hand.
Whatever his style, we’ve rounded up five kinds of dads, with three gift ideas for each!
The BBQ Master
For the Dad who considers the barbecue his domain.
He knows the difference between grilling and barbecuing. He has strong opinions about charcoal, cooking temperatures, and exactly when to flip the steak. And if there’s a long weekend involved, there’s a very good chance he’ll be standing beside the barbie. For the BBQ Master, look for something that enhances his love of outdoor cooking.

Not Sure Which Dad You Have?
Don’t worry! Some Dads don’t fit neatly into one category.

That’s half the fun of finding a gift! We’ve made it easy to browse by personality, so you can start with what Dad loves and find something that feels like it was chosen just for him.
