7 Father’s Day Gift Ideas For Dad

Give Dad a day to remember. Prepare delicious food, design a homemade card or gift an experience. Here are some recommendations to help make Father’s Day special:

1. Gift cards

Start with breakfast in bed – whether it’s strawberry-covered pancakes or crispy bacon. On the breakfast tray leave a simple surprise: a gift card! From movie tickets to restaurant gift cards, surprise Dad with one of the many options from Costco.com. Pick out something you can enjoy together.

Pro-Tip: Going to a game? Figure out what Dad’s shirt size is and surprise him with a jersey.

2. Pampering

Dads enjoy being pampered, too. Gift a back massager or a new pair of comfy slippers. If you really want to show him you care, sneak into his bathroom and find his favorite cologne bottle, then surprise him with a new box.

Pro-Tip: If cologne is not part of your dad’s routine, choose a nice aftershave to pair with a shaving kit.

3. Tool kits

If your dad is a handyman, ask him what tools he’s been wanting. While the element of surprise may be gone, you know he’ll appreciate the gift. Wrap it up in a big red bow, accompanied by a homemade card.

Pro-Tip: Start a project together! Grab supplies to make artsy signs. When Dad has a few hours to spare, pick out quotes to paint from his favorite authors, movies, TV shows or athletes.

4. Golf essentials

Pick up golf balls and hit the driving range. Costco.com has indoor golf simulators, and other sports apparel and accessories. From tennis rackets to air hockey tables, there’s something for every active dad.

Pro-Tip: Find a golf course and reserve your tee time. Some courses even have restaurants on the property; make a reservation in advance.

5. BBQ tools

Fire up the grill. Consider Pineapple & Jalapeño St. Louis Spareribs the Costco way, or go for a tried-and-true recipe. Complement your meal with simple side dishes such as Mexican grilled corn or a Cobb salad.

Pro-Tip: Pick up grill mats so cleanup is a breeze. Don’t forget to scrub the grates and interior; do the hard work for Dad so the grill is ready to fire up next time.

6. Drinks and dessert

Clink glasses with Dad over a bottle of Kirkland Signature™ Canadian Whisky. Not a whisky fan? No problem. Top off a nice home-cooked meal with his favorite drink. Spring for his favorite dessert to top it off, whether it’s a scoop of ice cream or a slice of cheesecake. Please drink responsibly.

Pro-Tip: Search for a decanter, or splurge on a new set of glasses to complement your gift.

7. Modern gadgets

Help make Dad’s day with a cool gadget, such as an action camera, telescope or underwater scooter. If your dad likes to cook, pick out a new appliance. Research different air fryers, camera gear or tech accessories, depending on what he’s interested in.

Pro-Tip: Upgrade Dad’s treasure-hunting equipment. Before you head out on summer beach trips, buy him a metal detector.

Plan ahead to make the day memorable. You know Dad best, so do something for Father’s Day that stays in his comfort zone, whether that’s a day in the backyard or a spontaneous getaway.
