What He Really Wants for Father’s Day

By Kendal Lambert


Fellas, we know you’ve been there: Having to put on a forced smile as you ponder why someone thought a gizmo that looks like a voice-automated can opener would be a good Father’s Day gift. Whether you are a Dad or know someone who is, those awkward moments are inescapable come every third Sunday in June.

Take a look at some helpful hints on what to give him so that he has the best Father’s Day yet.

An Unforgettable Experience

Sometimes we get so bogged down with the mundane day-to-day routines of life that we make excuses to not treat ourselves. Sure, you had to get new tires for the Tacoma last winter, so what? Doesn’t mean you should deprive yourself of once-in-a-lifetime experiences, even if they can be a bit expensive. Studies show that investing in experiences makes us happier than purchasing material possessions in the long run because the fond memories of the things we have enjoyed grow stronger over time. So instead of buying a last-minute gift he’ll never use, get all the siblings to pool together and shell out the dough for your brother to attend a guided dirt bike tour. This is something he’s been hinting at over the last few months. Help him cross off an item on his bucket list!

Peace and Quiet

Grab the kids, take the dog, warn your in-laws not to pull any surprise drop-by visits, and get out. (And we mean that in the nicest way possible.) We know he loves his family dearly, but sometimes a man just needs his space, a quiet house; the freedom to strut about his own kitchen in the nude, if he pleases. Don’t worry, it’s only for one weekend. If you’re feeling extra generous, print out a copy of the sports schedule so he’ll know to tune into the Dodgers game at 1PM. Oh, and stock the fridge with a few of his favorites and an 8-pack of Coors Light. Do not ask what he has planned. Do not check in on him unless he reaches out. The man just wants to chill. Two days. Uninterrupted.

A “Thank You”

A genuine, heartfelt “thank you”. How many times per year do you get one of those?

Think of your own Dad. As much as he busted your chops growing up, you’ve got to admit, Pops was right about a few things. Let go all of the stubbornness and put aside past quarrels so you can concentrate. Devote 30 minutes of alone time to sitting at a desk and writing out – yes, it must be handwritten – a Thank You letter to a guy that has really made a difference in your life.

Then – and here’s the kicker – you must hand deliver your gratitude letter to the person it’s meant for and either read it to them or have them read it aloud with you present. A real man knows how to say “thanks,” and mean it.


Share this list with your significant other, your kids, anyone who might be getting a gift for Dad this season. You might have even picked up a few pointers too! In celebration of fathers everywhere, let’s not bear another year of useless World’s Best Dad mugs.
