Father’s Day Gift Guide 2018

It’s almost time for that special day of the year in which we honor the father figures in our lives. Whether you celebrate Father’s Day with your dad, uncle, grandpa, or any person who is a father figure in your life, it’s always nice to get that person a little something. Whether big or small, a gift is a nice way to show appreciation for the all that this person contributes to your life. If you’re stuck on what to buy, or if you just need a little bit of inspiration, we’ve curated a gift guide with ideas for every type of dad. 

FATHER’S DAY GIFT GUIDE

1. FOR THE STYLISH DAD – GUCCI PURSUIT 72 SLIDE SANDAL 

For the stylish dad, you truly can’t go wrong with anything Gucci. Not only are these shoes stylish, but comfortable. Plus, a good pair of slides is so convenient to just slip on and get out the door when dad-duties need to be fulfilled. 

 2. FOR THE WORKING DAD – MONOGRAMMED BRIEFCASE (THOUGHTFULLY GIVEN ON ETSY.COM)

Here at Downtown Magazine, we love to support small businesses. Etsy is a great place to find the most unique and personalized gifts. This briefcase is so stylish, yet classic, and with your dad’s initials monogrammed onto this briefcase, it will be a truly special and timeless gift.

3. FOR THE FUNNY DAD – TRAVIS MATHEW DAD BOD T-SHIRT

For all of the goofy dads out there, this t-shirt is perfect. Why go to the gym and cut out carbs for a ‘Dad-Bod’ when you can just toss on this tee and call it a day? You’ll not only be giving your dad a dazzling blue tee for those sweltering summer days, but you’ll also give him a good ‘LOL’.

4. FOR THE OUTDOORSY DAD – MANCRATES OUTDOOR SURVIVAL CRATE

For all of the dads who love to kick it outside on the campgrounds, you couldn’t find a more perfect gift than this. ManCrates will do all of the work for you; in this gift basket, you will receive items such as a cook set, various tools, a compass (how vintage!), and even some beef jerky!

5. FOR THE STAY AT HOME DAD – HP SPROCKET PHOTO PRINTER

It’s so important to capture the happy moments in life, and now that everyone does so on their phones, it’s even more important that we print out our photos for safekeeping. You just never know when you’ll accidentally drop your precious iPhone into the toilet (goodbye, 3,000 pictures!), which is why it’s even more important to develop your photos! This HP gadget makes it super easy to do so, straight from your phone, in high quality. This gadget is such a great idea for the stay at home dad who loves to capture life’s best moments with his kids.

6. FOR THE WORK AT HOME DAD – KEURIG STAINLESS STEEL TRAVEL MUG 

Nothing is more annoying than having to reheat your coffee all morning (I know, first world problems). This Keurig mug will keep your coffee hot all morning. If your dad works from home, this mug will keep his morning cup of joe at just the right temperature, so he won’t have to keep leaving his work to microwave his drink!

7. FOR THE DAD ON THE GO – DR. SCHOLL’S RHYTHMS MEMORY FOAM SNEAKER

For the dad who juggles work, school pick-ups, and lots of time on his feet, these shoes are the perfect, fashionable choice. Not only are these memory foam sneakers going to look snazzy with any outfit your dad dons, but his feet will feel like they are resting on clouds all day. Nobody does comfort better than Dr. Scholl’s, and your dad’s on-the-go feet will thank you.

8. FOR THE ADVENTUROUS DAD – https://www.cloud9living.com/new-york
