Father’s Day Gifts That’ll Delight Dear Ol’ Dad

With last year’s estimate of Father’s Day spending forecasted at a record-high $20.1 billion by the National Retail Federation, one can only assume that fathers, husbands and sons will fare equally as well—if not better—this upcoming June holiday. And, rightfully so, as we collectively adjust to new norms that have made gestures of love, adoration and appreciation carry extra meaning and significance. In an effort to help retail thrive as you strive to please dear ol’ dad, here’s an assortment of gift ideas that’ll dutifully delight.


City Model 1 e-Bike from Bike.com (https://bike.com)
E-bikes are skyrocketing in popularity, and it’s no wonder. They’re fun to ride, good for the environment, convenient for commuting and can help you stay fit. Your dad will surely have a blast with the City Model 1 eBike from Bike.com, which would be an elevated Father’s Day gift he’ll never forget. Another benefit is that e-Bikes have been proven to be much more cost effective than a car. This particular electric bike has a great aesthetic design, and is rife with fab features. First, it includes five levels of pedal assist—digital controls allow you to choose how much help you want—to cruise at up to 28 MPH, as well as a thumb throttle that can propel you at up to 20 MPH without pedaling! Most riders will experience more than 20 miles of range using the throttle exclusively and 40 miles or more on pedal-assist. There’s also a large color display showing your speed, distance, time, battery life and other information, plus a kickstand for easy parking.  It has a speed limiter can be set from 11-28 MPH to help you meet local trail access rules and requirements, or to accommodate riders who simply prefer lower speeds. It additionally includes Kenda puncture-resistant tires, powerful hydraulic disc brakes for safer stopping, and Shimano’s 7-speed drivetrain. The e-Bike has a 500-Watt hub motor with plenty of torque to make climbing hills a snap and a high-capacity battery for more range. Plus, there’s a 652.8Wh battery with premium LG cells so you can go further between charges. When you’re done riding, the battery can be charged using the included 3A fast charger both on and off the e-Bike in just 3-4 hours, which is 50% faster than many competing electric bikes.


‘The Donovan’ Endless Summer DualHeat Fire Pit (https://www.outdoormarketplace.com)
With the Endless Summer DualHeat Fire Pit, dad’s outdoor enjoyment can be elevated with both ambiance and heat. “The Donovan” 38-inch Outdoor LP Gas Fire Pit model includes patented DualHeat Technology, which combines a traditional gas firepit with an infrared patio heater below the mantel totaling 41,000 BTUs of heating power (30k BTU upper burner /11k BTU lower burner for the built in patio heater). The additional patio heater element provides true body warmth. The versatile unit is designed to be used in four ways; firepit, patio heater, fire pit plus patio heater or add the insert and use as a table, making it adaptable and built for functionality. The exterior features a UV printed resin mantel in a handsome gray wood look, also with a stamped steel base in black finish. It has a patented Hide-A-Way Door feature as well.

Marine and Coastal Grade Under-Counter Refrigerator from Perlick (https://www.perlick.com/)
For the discerning dad who appreciates quality and beauty, Perlick’s new Marine and Coastal Grade Under-Counter Refrigeration line will help him, and the rest of the gang, enjoy the ultimate in refrigeration wherever he finds paradise. Whether he owns a home in coastal conditions, a saltwater pool or a boat on the open water, the harsh effects of high-salt environments can wreak havoc on outdoor appliances and cause premature aging. These stunning Marine and Coastal Grade Under-Counter Refrigerator units are not only beautiful but they are also built to last. This appliance line features Perlick Armor, which is built to endure the harshest of environments while maintaining consistent functionality and a showroom quality finish. Perlick Armor combines a mix of 316 and 304 stainless steel for food safety and easy cleaning, rather than plastics found in some marine-grade products. Units also come equipped with upgraded stainless steel and zinc plated fasteners to prevent rusting, as well as a protective coated refrigeration system for added durability. The new line is inspired by a conversation Perlick had with a long-time customer residing on the Atlantic Coast who needed a solution for rusting outdoor appliances. This line solves that problem in beautiful form.

With a spacious cooking area and individual control knobs, this grill is perfect for everyday or large gatherings. It boasts a massive 560 square inch primary grilling area with six stainless steel burners, and is outfitted with porcelain-enameled cast iron cooking grates that retain heat exceptionally well. An upper-level, 200 square inch porcelain-coated warming rack heats up buns and keeps cooked foods toasty. Perched above the main firebox burners are angled flame tamers that deflect heat, prevent flare-ups and vaporize drippings into flavor infusions that permeate foods with a distinctive smoky taste. Its Even-Heat System distributes consistent and uniform warmth across the entire grill surface, so there aren’t any hot spots. An electronic ignition function allows burners to fire up instantly and the built-in thermometer enables precise temperature regulation. For nighttime grilling, engage the blue LED lighting system to illuminate the front control panel for no-fuss operability. Use the included rotisserie kit to evenly cook chicken, roasts, pork or anything else you want to rotate on a spit. This grill model is also convertible to natural gas and equipped with a ceramic searing side burner that completes steaks to juicy perfection—helping him (or you) craft the perfect outdoor meal!


Connect-It Magnetic BBQ Tool Set from Proud Grill Company (https://www.proudgrill.com)
Whether or not the dad in your life a master on the barbecue, chances are he has way too many grill tools taking up space in the drawer that he’s not super happy with. With Proud Gill Company’s Connect-It Magnetic 2-Piece BBQ Tool Set, he can use the two slim and easy-to-store pieces to make four different tools, allowing him to get rid of others that are redundant or entirely useless.

Beyond the versatile handle system, the tools also have an elegant design and are made from high-quality stainless steel. The set is an ideal Father’s Day gift for the backyard cookout enthusiast, campers or whether these cooking utensils can make grilling great.


Looft Lighter X Battery Powered Charcoal Starter (https://looft.com)

The AeroGarden Bounty Elite with Seed Bundle is one fantastic option that can grow up to nine plants to maturity. Or, use it to start up to 50 seedlings for transfer to an outdoor garden, as they’ll grow five times faster than if started in soil. The unit’s powerful 50-watt LED grow lights offer full-spectrum, optimal lighting and include advanced settings like dimming and sunrise/sunset schedules. The grower box adjusts for up to 24-inches of grow height–enough for any tall veggie seeds–and the simple control panels make it easy to keep those plant babies thriving. Celebrity dads like Ravi Patel and Stephen “tWitch” Boss from The Ellen Show reportedly use and love their indoor garden and sharing the experience with loved ones.

Fab Slabs Laurel Cutting Board from Fab Slabs (
https://fabslabsusa.com)
For the dad who loves to be the chef or grill master, this is the perfect gift he’ll probably have for a lifetime! The Fab Slabs Laurel Cutting Board is made of one piece of lumber from the Australian Camphor Laurel tree. The best thing about this wood is that it is a durable, environmentally friendly, naturally antibacterial surface. In fact, tests by a NATA-approved laboratory have extensively tested these boards for the four most common bacteria in food-borne illnesses: E. Coli, Salmonella, Staph and Listeria. The tests showed that these bacteria were unable to survive on the board after a short time, and boards used for the past 7-10 years still showed zero bacteria growth! The board is 17.7 inches long, 9-inches wide and 1.18 inches thick, making it the perfect size for assembling a delicious meal or displaying a charcuterie selection. This board also repels water and resists warping due to the natural oils found in the Camphor Laurel tree. Fab Slabs is a family-owned and operated business that hails from the Sunshine Coast of Australia. Their environmentally friendly, permanently antibacterial boards combine utility with beauty for pieces he can enjoy for years to come.


Frost Buddy Portable Beverage Coolers (https://frostbuddy.com)
Your dad will absolutely love either one of these cool Father’s Day gifts—no pun intended. First, absolutely zero people like warm wine on a hot day. But, have you ever tried to carry around ice, wine buckets or chillers for your favorite cold wine?  Frost Buddy Universal Wine Buddy is the world’s first and only universal cooler to fit full size, 750-milliliter wine bottles, champagne bottles and some liquor bottles without the hassle and mess of melting ice. It keeps the bottle cold, while being handsome enough to keep on the dinner table. Its patented lid and internal design, along with its double wall vacuum sealed stainless steel look, ensures that dad’s drinks stay cold. It’s perfect for picnics, the pool, sporting events, hunting trips and just hanging out in the back yard. If your dad is more the sporting type, the Sports Buddy would be a great choice for him. This is not your basic sports bottle, since it has a 40-ounce capacity, keeps beverages cold for 24-plus hours, and comes standard with a matching paracord and climbing clip for easy portability. It can also keep his coffee hot for eight hours. There are so many colors and designs available, so you can pick the one that fits your dad’s personality the best.

Then the 6-foot Joggling Board from The Joggle Factory makes for a fabulous Father’s Day gift. In the beautiful low country of South Carolina, joggling boards have been a staple on front porches since the 1800’s. Think of it as a rocking chair in bench form. The Joggle Factory designs and builds authentic and classically-styled joggling boards to create a traditional look for your own patio, garden, porch or any other living area indoors or out. What makes this Southern staple so popular is its narrow design, which is great for those spaces that can’t accommodate a rocking or other standard shaped and sized chair. The board is less than two feet wide, so users can enjoy the relaxing sway that fits nicely in tight quarters. Each joggling board is custom built using sustainable, locally harvested lumber that travels less than 100 miles to the company’s shop in Charleston, South Carolina. The Joggle Factory is also dedicated to diversity in its hiring process and they partner with the South Carolina Vocational Rehab program, which helps people who have a hard time finding employment because of a physical or mental disabilities.

Some dads follow trends, while some dads start them. For the fashion-forward dad that wants comfort and style wrapped into functional activewear made from sustainable Alpaca wool, Paka products make for a fab Father’s Day gift. I particularly like the company’s Vida sweater, which has a three-panel hoodie, slight open V-neck and a unique tricolor knit. It’s super sleek, soft, warm and has wicking and antimicrobial properties so dad won’t have to wash it as frequently. Alpaca wool is much softer and lighter than sheep wool, with many people comparing its feel of cashmere.

Plankpad Total Body Trainer (https://www.amazon.com)
With Father’s Day on fast approach, give the dad that loves to work out the gift that combines fun and fitness: The Plankpad. This is reportedly the world’s first app-supported, total body trainer that combines workouts with games. There is an element of fun that is woven into this equipment, making it practical and enjoyable! The playful element is Plankpad’s secret weapon to combat one of the biggest enemies of all exercisers: overcoming inner laziness and completing workouts regularly. Instead of just fighting the clock, the app (which is available for both iOS and Android) motivates intense workouts through various games. All dad has to do is place his smartphone or tablet on the board, lean on it in the plank position and control the games through body movement. These challenge playful ambition and will distract him from the strenuous nature of the workouts. Focusing on the games helps make keeping up the forearm support incidental and last significantly longer. The app can also be streamed to any smart television, turning the workout in the living room into an event for the whole family. Imagine the fun of playing and exercising with dad, resulting in great times and a healthy lifestyle to boot.

Their journey started a while ago, in fact, possibly even several decades ago, when astronomers stopped naming stars and instead assigned each with a catalogue I.D. number. The Dedicated Stars team decided to start naming stars again and make them into exceptional gifts, registered on the star database forever.

Foodie Delights from Zingerman’s Deli (https://www.zingermans.com/)
Zingerman’s Deli offers a number of great Father’s Day gifts for the foodie dads out there. The company’s Georgia Reuben Turkey Sandwich Kit is one of my own personal favorite options. In the early days of Zingerman’s Deli, co-founder Ari Weinzweig created the turkey Reuben and named it the “Georgia Reuben.” It takes all of the classic ingredients of Zingerman’s classic Reuben—the Jewish rye bread, sauerkraut and Emmentaler Swiss cheese—but replaces the corned beef with delectable oven-roasted turkey. The turkey comes from Ferndale Market, a third-generation farm in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, where the birds freely roam on 20 acres of pesticide- and fertilizer-free pasture each summer. The kit includes Jewish rye bread, sliced turkey, sliced Emmentaler Swiss cheese, Zingerman’s potato chips, coleslaw, sauerkraut, Russian dressing, garlicky pickles and Magic Brownie Bites for a sweet finish. It requires some assembly, but that is part of the fun. Instructions are included with the kit. Another great gift for dad is Zingerman’s Charcuterie and Cheese Gift Box that includes Red Bear Provisions Old Kiev Salami, French cornichon pickles, L’amuse Pril Young Gouda, Zingerman’s Nor’easter Cabot Cheddar, Moroccan olives, a loaf of Zingerman’s Sourdough Bread, Tempesta’s ’Nduja Spicy Cured Meat Spread, Zingerman’s Virginia Peanuts, and Rustic Bakery Olive Oil and Sea Salt Flatbreads. It serves ten for snacks and lasts for weeks when refrigerated.


A-Sha Noodles Best Sellers Bundle (https://ashadrynoodle.com/)
Here’s another great way to help dad save time in the kitchen with a savory delight, courtesy of the Best Sellers Bundle from A-Sha Noodles. This is the cult-favorite noodle brand known for its patented, 100-year-old legacy noodle recipe from Tainan, Taiwan. The popular noodles are distinctly air-dried, never fried or frozen, and made with simple, wholesome ingredients. There are zero artificial flavors and each pack boasts 10 grams of plant-based protein to deliver a healthier, nutritious alternative to conventional fried instant noodles. These are most certainly in a different league than the Ramen dad made in his college dorm room! The popular Best Sellers Bundle offers A-Sha’s three most popular noodle and flavor combinations, including packs of Tainan noodles with Sesame sauce, Mandarin noodles with Original sauce and Hakka noodles with Chili sauce. All A-Sha noodles are simply made with wheat, salt and water and receive a unique 18-hour air-drying technique. The noodles cook in five minutes or less and each bowl can be easily topped with just about any ingredient, such as fried or poached eggs, fresh scallions, chili crisp and whatever else you desire. In addition to being available online, A-Sha Noodles are widely offered in national retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Costco Target and H-Mart.
