Skip the Ties: What Dad Really Wants for Father’s Day

Father’s Day is just around the corner. it’s time to hunt down a great gift that shows Dad exactly how much you care. You may have noticed, however, that dads are notoriously hard to shop for! You don’t want to gift him the same old ties, T-shirts, or tools this year, but what should take their place? Make this Father’s Day one he’ll remember with ideas and inspiration for gifts that go beyond the ordinary.

Warm Dad’s Heart – and His Toes – With a Firepit

Everyone loves the warmth and beauty of a glowing fire. If your dad loves to wind down after a long day or take a cozy nap in front of a roaring fire, make it a little easier with a fire pit table.

A fire pit table makes a great gift, especially if your father loves to spend time outdoors.  Fueled by a 20-lb. propane tank that is neatly hidden inside the base, starting a fire is really simple. When it’s not in use, a weather-resistant cover protects it from outdoor conditions. Best of all, giving him an outdoor fire pit creates the perfect spot for the two of you to catch up and share fond memories together.

Make Sure He Enjoys the Big Game with a TV Stand

Your dad is always front and center at the big screen TV when game day rolls around to cheer on his favorite team. If he loves catching every game from the pre-season to the playoffs, a TV stand is a great way to help him enjoy them even more. The Lorraine TV Stand for TVS up to 70” will be a welcome addition from baseball season to Super Bowl parties and other fall and winter get-togethers. Its shelves and concealed storage help keep the cable box, DVDs, and other accessories neat and tidy, so Mom will love it as much as Dad does!

Help Dad Work Comfortably with a Standing Desk

A good desk makes a huge difference when it comes to working comfortably. This year, when so many of us are working at home, is a great time to make sure Dad’s home office is equipped with a standing desk so he can put in the hours without worrying about back pain.

Why get a standing desk? The research shows that standing is good for our health and work productivity, with benefits that include:

  • Reduced back pain
  • Reduced neck soreness
  • Higher energy levels
  • Sharper focus

Make sure to look for a height-adjustable standing desk to make work more comfortable throughout the day. Options that include USB charging ports are also a great choice, as they keep Dad’s phone charged and ready for your Father’s Day call.

Encourage Him to Savor his Favorite Sprits with a Bar Cabinet

If your father loves a good scotch or cabernet, a bar cabinet is a great way to organize and enjoy his collection. With a premium look and plenty of storage space for his favorites, a bar cabinet will make the perfect addition to his study or the living room. If he prefers wine to spirits, cabinets with stemware storage keep glasses close at hand, so it’s easy to pop a cork and serve guests on the spot.

Help Dad Fire Up the Grill with an Outdoor Dining Set

Some of your best summertime memories include manning the grill at your father’s side, serving up family favorites to enjoy outdoors. Relive those memories and make new ones by gifting your dad an outdoor dining set. For a smaller patio, a bar-height table and chairs provide plenty of room to savor a meal without crowding the space. When more room is available, a set with a longer dining table creates an elegant look and helps Dad host the whole family for a barbecue.

Let Him Unwind with a Conversation Set

Your dad has a lot on his plate, whether it’s work, volunteering, or keeping up with the grandkids. No matter what makes his days so busy, Father’s Day is a good time to remind him how much he deserves a break. Help your dad unwind with his morning coffee or an evening snack with a cozy outdoor conversation set for his patio.  Comfortable cushions create an inviting spot to relax, and the tough, easy-to-care-for resin wicker construction won’t add extra maintenance work to his plate. If the patio is especially sunny, add the Charlee Umbrella to create a cool, shady retreat.
