Father’s Day is just around the corner (June 18, 2023), and what better way to show your love for the adventurous dads in our lives than with thoughtful gifts that align with their outdoor interests? Whether they enjoy hiking, playing golf, working out, or cycling. We’ve got you covered. Explore our gift guide and find the perfect present to make this Father’s Day unforgettable.
Hiking Enthusiast
For the dad who loves exploring the great outdoors on scenic trails, consider these gift ideas:
High-quality hiking boots that provide comfort and durability on challenging terrains. Depending on the terrain and Dad’s comfort, pick between high ankle support like the Salomon Quest Element, link*, or a mid-high like the North Face Hedgehog, link*. If the terrain is not as wild or unknown a low hiking boot like the North Face Altamesa 300* will support Dad in his hiking adventures.
A versatile backpack with compartments for essentials like water bottles, snacks, and a first-aid kit. Gifting Dad a backpack filled with the essentials listed above is thoughtful and would be appreciated. When picking a backpack, make sure it’s waterproof, you never know what adventures he has planned to take. All of the options below are waterproof. Looking to make sure Dad stays hydrated? Check out the Osprey Raptor 10L*. Does your dad forget to charge his phone? The best option would be the G4Free 50L Hiking Backpack*. For the prepared hiker the other three options would work. It is just a choice of preference between the Patagonia Atom Sling* or any other you find on Amazon*.
Outdoor apparel such as moisture-wicking shirts, waterproof jackets, and convertible pants for variable weather conditions. Also important are waterproof socks and a hat or sunglasses to protect them.
Golf Dad Gift Guide
If your Dad enjoys spending his leisure time on the golf course, these gift ideas will bring a smile to his face.
Premium golf clubs
Premium golf clubs or a putter to improve his game and add a touch of sophistication. Check out the Lazrus Premium Golf Irons* or the BombTech Golf Premium 4.0 Iron set*. For a more sentimental touch, you can check to personalize the putter covers or if the putter can be personalized. That might take some time but could be a belated Father’s Day Gift.
Golf Accessories like golf balls, tees, gloves, and a stylish golf bag for convenient storage and transportation are also great gift ideas for the Golfer Dad. Because of the frequent use of golf balls and tees another great idea is to create a gift basket filled with golf accessories.
Golf bags and golf travel bags
I added the golf travel bags because I have found that a lot of golf clubs get totaled during air travel. A good protective case will make sure your dad can arrive at his destination and not have to worry about the condition of his equipment. These two options seemed to get the job done: the Golf Travel Bag with Adjustable Support Rod* and a hard case option with the Heavy Duty Oxford Golf Travel Bag*
Golf range finders and swing analyzers. These are useful gifts to help Dad enhance his skills and provide him with valuable insights to improve his game.
Golf Apparel. This includes breathable polo shirts* and pants, golf shoes with excellent traction, and UV-protective hats. Don’t forget the No Sweat Golf Hat Liners, these are great for preventing sweat stains on hats. That way Dad can always sport his lucky hat! As a reminder, always add some SPF in the golf bag, just in case.
