Father’s Day is just around the corner and we are here to help you pick the perfect gift for your DIY Dad! You can give your dad tools for a specific project or grill equipment to help with his post-project meal. Here are 10 gift ideas to get you started on gifting your dad something he will love this Father’s Day.
Essential tools
Your dad may seem to have it all especially if he is a DIY guy but while that old, rusty hammer or hatchet gets the job done for him, he may appreciate some of his essential tools being refreshed! Below, is an idea to enhance this gift even further with personalized tools.
Specific tools
If the dad you’re looking for a gift for is into a specific trade or is working on a certain project, get him a gift geared towards that! Working on a plumbing project? Get him some pipe threading tools to help him get the job done more easily and efficiently!
Grill accessories
Every dad needs a nice, grilled meal after he is finished working on his DIY projects and grill accessories are always a welcomed, useful gift. New tongs, a grill brush, a cover, or a whole new grill kit make great gifts that he will be able to use for many BBQ seasons to come.
DIY apparel
Non-slip work boots or shoes, t-shirts to paint in, and a tool belt are just a few DIY apparel ideas for you to give your dad this Father’s Day. You should try to find him practical yet functional apparel options for any project.
Personalized gifts
Most things can be personalized and that includes your Dad’s tools and DIY gear. Upgrade your dad’s tools, apparel, and grill accessories by getting it personalized with his name or, “Dad,” to give it a special touch! If your gift does not have the option of coming personalized, look for a local engraving shop to add this on after you have purchased the item.
Heavy-duty cleaning supplies
DIY projects more often than not create a mess that may require more than just your under the counter cleaning supplies. Along with some tools in general or for his current projects, consider adding on some heavy-duty cleaning supplies to clean up any unwanted trace of the work. Extra points if you put on some gloves and help with the clean-up process when the time comes!
Safety equipment
DIY projects can be fun and enjoyable but everyone wants to keep Dad safe while he is doing them. From safety glasses to non-slip shoes, there are a ton of different safety precautions that can be taken depending on the project and your dad will feel happy that you are looking out for him.
Car accessories
Most DIY Dads also like to tinker with their cars. You can give your dad specific car parts or even something as simple as a car wash kit. Car mats and seat covers are also a great gift for a dad that may not have the chance to have chance to clean up during a DIY project before hopping in their car to run out for more parts or tools to finish what they’re working on.
Massage equipment
While this gift may not directly relate to the work or project your dad may be working on, he will be thrilled to be able to sit back in a massage chair or grab a quick at-home foot massage after his work is done for the day. Tons of massage equipment can be easily ordered online depending on your budget and what would be most suitable for your dad.
Gift cards
Still, stumped on what to get your DIY Dad? A gift card to your local home improvement store is the perfect way to support his hobbies and let him get the tools or accessories he wants for himself!
Regardless of what you choose to give your dad this Father’s Day, he will be happy with the support for his DIY projects. Don’t forget if all else fails, a home improvement store gift card is the perfect gift for any handyman!
