Father’s Day gift ideas for all types of dads

This Father’s Day, families will gather to thank dads for all they do. Gifts often are part of Father’s Day celebrations, and here’s a list of gift ideas for dads with various interests.
Gaming Dad
The draw of popular video games doesn’t abate for some men as they get older.
Virtual reality has made great strides. Devices that enable VR game play and other entertainment may appeal to dad. There are a few options on the market, like the Oculus, Pico Neo, HTC Vive and Valve Index.
Another option is to gift the Nintendo Switch Console, which enables dad to play at home connected to the television or on the go with the handheld controller and screen combination so he never misses a chance to engage in game play.
Sports Dad
Tap into your father’s love of sports with gifts tailored to his passion. Baseball and soccer are played during warm months, so tickets to a game is something dads and their children can do together. Or consider a new big-screen television in order to watch the games in the comfort of his own home.
Outdoorsman Dad
If dad is most at home with a fishing pole and tackle box, kayaking a nearby body of water, or hiding in a tree stand during hunting season, then gifts that cater to his love of the great outdoors are perfect. Insulated thermoses, waterproof bags for storing phones or wallets, multitools, backpacks and hiking boots make great gifts.
Techy Dad
Does the idea of the latest “smart” offering get your father all revved up? Then purchase gifts that cater to his love of gadgets.
Maybe he can use a new tablet or laptop that bridges the gap between home and office. Could it be time to upgrade his smartphone? A doorbell camera or home security kit can help him keep an eye on the comings and goings around the house when he’s away.
Practical Dad
Some fathers don’t want flashy gifts, instead preferring ones that can be used every day. If dad takes long road trips, then he might be able to use a car visor extender or a smartphone holder. Shelving, racks or storage straps for the garage also may put a smile on his face.
This year, make Father’s Day a smash hit with gifts that cater to dad’s interests.
