Gift Ideas For The Dad Who Has Everything

Whether it’s your Dad’s birthday coming up, Father’s Day, or you just want to get him a random gift, it can be difficult to know what you buy. If you have a Dad that seemingly already owns everything, getting a present that he will enjoy and not already have can be a challenge. Which is why you sometimes need to think outside the box and come up with something new. In this article we’ve put together some gift ideas for the Dad that has everything so you hopefully tick the boxes this year and get him something he will really cherish!

An experience

One of the best gifts for someone that has everything is an experience. There are so many experiences out there, so think of something that your Dad would love and suits his personality and interests. You could do a meal experience, such as a restaurant voucher, or something such as whisky tasting, cocktail making or an outdoor activity. If your Dad is really outdoors-y or likes an adrenaline rush, you could book something like a skydive, a bungee jump or an abseil off a building! Think about how much you want to spend, what the weather is like where you live and for the time of year, as well as what your Dad will really enjoy! He’s sure to remember the experience for years to come.

Something for the home or garden

If your Dad loves doing gardening and spending time building and fixing things up, why not get something for the home or garden? You could get him some new Power tools which can help him to complete his DIY projects, or perhaps a book with some inspiration for things he can build. You could get some ornaments to go in the garden, such as a garden gnome or a fountain, or perhaps some solar lights or lanterns. Other ideas could be some plants or flowers, or even garden furniture like a fire pit, hammock or table and chair set.

Cook him a meal

Sometimes the best gifts are those that are the most thoughtful. Cooking a meal can be a great way of showing how grateful you are for all that your Dad has done for you in your life, and can be cheaper than going out for a meal too! You could make up a menu of all his favourite foods, cooking up three courses paired with wine or beer. You could do it for your whole family and make it an event for you all to spend time together, something that will be especially appreciated if it’s your Dad’s birthday when he’d love to see everyone.

Offer something handmade

As mentioned above, sometimes personal gifts are the best and making something yourself is a lovely thought. If you are arty, you could create him a painting that he can hang up on his wall. This could be a place that you visited together before, somewhere that he loves, or perhaps something he enjoys doing. If painting isn’t your thing, you could knit or crochet something, or consider creating something like a photo coaster, a keychain, or a card. You could also put together a photo book or a scrap book with memories and some of the best times you’ve spent together.

Consider a watch

A watch is a gift for your Dad that will always be appreciated. Whether you get an expensive timepiece, or a token item, he’ll be sure to appreciate it. You could consider getting it engraved with a message too – this can be done with most types of watches and will turn it into a one of a kind piece that he’ll really love. Think about your budget, the type of watch that he will like and wear – whether this is something dressy  or more sports and the colours that he tends to wear.

These are just a few things you can get for the Dad who owns everything that he is sure to enjoy! Whether you want to give him a gift that he can keep forever or something that you can do together and make memories with, there are so many options. Remember it’s the thought that counts and he will really appreciate the act of you buying him a gift. What are some top gift ideas you have for the Dad who has everything?
