Unique & Thoughtful Gifts He’ll Actually Use
Wondering what to get your dad for Father’s Day? Looking for a unique gift for the man who has everything?
Father’s Day is coming up, and let’s be honest - dads (and the important men in our lives) can be tough to shop for. They either have everything, want nothing, or say something unhelpful like, “I just want some peace and quiet.” So, what’s the best gift for the guy who has everything and refuses to part with his decade-old wallet? Something he’ll actually use. Whether you're shopping for a father, father figure, mentor, or anyone you want to appreciate this Father’s Day, we’ve got you covered with practical and meaningful gift ideas that will make a lasting impression.
1. Aprons: The Best Gift for the Man Who Loves to Cook or Fix Things
If the person you're shopping for is the king of the grill, the chef of the house, or the guy who’s always covered in sawdust from his latest DIY project, an apron is a practical gift that makes sense. But what’s the best apron for dads? The answer: one that can take a beating. Our aprons are made from tough cotton canvas with extra-long straps. Whether he’s flipping burgers or fixing the sink (again), he’ll stay clean and protected in style. Check out the Wiseguy Original Aprons here.
2. Suspenders: A Stylish & Functional Gift
Suspenders might not be your first thought when shopping for gifts, but hear us out. Are suspenders a good Father’s Day gift? Absolutely. No more sagging pants, no more dad-bod belt situations. Plus, suspenders help improve posture by distributing weight more evenly across the shoulders, which can reduce back strain and discomfort - making them a healthier choice compared to belts. Just pure comfort and effortless style. Suspenders add that little extra something to any outfit - whether he leans more “classic gentleman” or “I just don't like belts.” You'll for sure find some Wiseguy Original Suspenders he'll like.
3. Sleeve Garters: For the One Who Rolls Up His Sleeves
What’s a unique Father’s Day gift most dads don’t already own? Sleeve garters! For the man who thinks he’s done for the day but somehow ends up elbow-deep in another project, these will keep his sleeves up and out of the way. Functional and they look good? That’s a win-win. See all the Wiseguy Original Sleeve Garters here.
4. Keyrings: A Thoughtful Gift That’s Small but Mighty
Looking for a simple but meaningful Father’s Day gift? A high-quality keyring is something he’ll use every single day. What’s the best keyring for dads? One that does more than just hold keys! Ours is sturdy, stylish, and—bonus—it doubles as a hat holder. That’s right, switch out the attachments, and he suddenly has a new favorite tool. If there’s one thing dads love, it’s things that have more than one use. Snag one for him here!
5. More Unique Father’s Day Gift Ideas
Still unsure what to get Dad for Father’s Day in 2025? Here are a few more ideas that aren’t too conventional:
-
Experiences Over Things – Skip the gadgets and give your dad an experience he’ll never forget. A round of golf, a weekend getaway, or tickets to his favorite team’s game could be way more memorable than another gadget he’ll never use.
-
Self-Care Gifts for Dad – Even if your dad claims he doesn’t need pampering, a fancy barbershop visit, a deep tissue massage, or even a pedicure (yep, we said it) could be the unexpected treat he actually enjoys.
- Handyman Must-Haves – If your dad loves fixing things, consider gifting him high-quality tools, durable leather gloves, or a ridiculously bright flashlight. You know, so he can shine it in your face and say, "See? Look how bright this is."
Give your dad (or someone special) something he’ll actually use and appreciate this year. Find a gift that matches his style, fits his routine, and lasts for years to come. Check out our collection and make this Father’s Day one to remember!
