5 Father’s Day Gift Ideas

“Sometimes I think my papa is an accordion. When he looks at me and smiles and breathes, I hear the notes.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

Here are 5 Father’s Day ideas that will brighten up his day! We live in a world where Amazon is one click away which makes it easy for most of us to get pretty much anything at your doorstep in a couple of days. Instead of feeling pressured into getting something for the sake of gift-giving, I think it is helpful to consider what might make a meaningful gift. I thought of a few things that would be a mix of cost-friendly items to ones that can be timeless for the dad in your life.

1. LOVEBOOK
I love this personalized Lovebook for dad. Tell your story of love by creating this one-of-a-kind hardbound or soft cover book.

2. DAD T-SHIRT
How cool is this custom T-shirt from Etsy that can include children’s names on it? It even has a place to put the year of establishing fatherhood!

3. BLUE BOTTLE COFFEE
I mean most dad’s like coffee and why not get them a gift that lasts a long while? This is one of my favorite San Francisco coffee brands that is roasted by hand in small batches. Get dad a subscription of Blue Bottle Coffee that is sourced sustainably.

4. A QUESTION OF EAGLE PLANTERS
Get these beautiful planters for the dad that wants to bring the outdoors inside. These beautiful planters have hand-carved designed by Los Angeles based artists inspired by nature and their travels through the American Landscape.

5. FRAMED PRINTS
I might be somewhat partial to this gift as a photographer. There is nothing quite like the joy of seeing printed family art on the walls of your home, something that can be overlooked with the immediacy of sharing through social media. While there are several frame choices out there, I love the look of these clean and simple ones from West Elm. They come in a few different sizes and have nice mats that offer the perfect amount of breathing space around the print.

Consider gifting dad a portrait session with the family. If I know a thing or two about dads, they aren’t necessarily fond of being in the spotlight and might be interested in a session with the whole family. Instead of waiting for a Holiday Card session, why not gift a short and sweet family session? Contact me by filling the form below for a special offer.
