Father’s Day Gift Guide: Gifts for the Dad who Doesn’t Want Anything

Father’s Day is rapidly approaching, and moms everywhere are wondering what to get for the man in their life that means so much to her and the family. But, inevitably, there are the dads out there that say, “No, don’t get me anything.” No matter what they say, you still want to get them something even if it’s a practical gift that you know they will use or just something to show them how special they are to you. Daily Mom has found the best gifts for the dad who “doesn’t want anything” because we all know that dads need to be appreciated on Father’s Day no matter what they say. 

Fibertech Luggage by iFly

If dad travels for work or just has a wanderlust soul, he needs high quality, durable luggage to get him through his travels. Hard cased luggage is all the rage these days due to its functionality and resistance to damage during rough baggage handling. The Fibertech luggage set by iFly is exactly what he needs to ensure that his luggage isn’t ruined and his contents stay safe every time he travels.

The Fibertech luggage collection is a hard-sided, lightweight luggage set. The full set comes with three traditional sizes: carry-on, medium, and large. The carry-on size is a perfect size for the overhead bin, quick trips, or minimalist packers. Coming in at just 5.3 lbs, it is so light you won’t even realize you’re carrying it. The medium weighs just 7 lbs and the large is 8.5 lbs, and all three sizes come with a 2” zipper expansion for all those extra souvenirs he brings back on his return home.

iFly’s Fibertech luggage set has a 10 year warranty, ensuring that he will be covered if damage is done to his luggage set. The 360 degree wheels make it easy to roll through the airport or to his hotel, and the rubber carry handles make it comfortable to hold on to.

The interior pocket of the Fibertech luggage sets are roomy and large for all his clothes. There is an interior mesh pocket to hold smaller items and tie down straps to keep his clothes in place and organized. The interlocking zippers make opening and closing his suitcase smooth and simple without them getting caught on fabric. The Fibertech collection comes in a variety of colors such as Rose Gold, Gold, Black, and the new Space Grey.

Your traveling dad will love his durable, hard-sided, and roomy luggage from iFly this Father’s Day.

Splendid Beast

This is the ultimate gift for the passionate dog dad. Splendid Beast creates an original masterpiece of your beloved pet that will last forever. Founded because a lack of “outrageous pet oil paintings on the internet,” Splendid Beast captures your pet’s alter ego in a way they will always want to be (and should be) remembered. Simply choose one of the templates for the artist to create a custom oil painting of your pet. If you are purchasing as a gift and don’t have a photo of the pet, Splendid Beast offers gift cards.

The templates include famous masterpieces that only can be improved by adding your fur child. We are particularly obsessed with The Poker. This oil portrait is perfect for the dog that loves a little excitement and is a bit of a scoundrel. And of course, can bluff his way through anything (like an accident). Other fun options include The Majesty. Real talk, most of our pets are treated as royalty, so they should be captured as such in an oil painting. The Splendid Beast makes our pet fantasies come to life with their playful yet honest portrayals of our most beloved companions.

The process takes approximately 8 weeks to complete. But don’t fret, Splendid Beast can do a mock up of your pet in time for Father’s Day. One thing is for sure, the completed artwork celebrates how truly splendid our fur babies are. A one of a kind gift for dad that will delight for years to come.

Ladder 34 Runner

Give Dad a Father’s Day gift he will never expect with a gift from Ladder 34. Ladder 34 makes products from old fire hoses. When a fire hose is worn out or damaged, it is typically thrown out. However, Ladder 34 created a way to give new life to these fire hoses. The hoses are made into belts, floor mats, dog collars, and more, right here in the United States with hoses that were used in real fire stations that were set to be discarded. No two items are the same when you shop with Ladder 34, making these gifts truly unique.

The Firehose Runner E#18 is a 2×5 runner perfect for an entryway, office, kitchen, or bathroom. Too ofter home decor is taken over by the woman of the house but men want cool stuff in their home that they love as well. This is why the Firehose Runner E#18 makes a great gift for Father’s Day. This particular runner is made of water resistant hose that was used in Atlantic City, Detroit Fire Department and Battle Creek, MI. The pieces were sewn by hand in Grand Rapids, MI. Ladder 34 sews in anti-slip webbing so your mat will stay in place. If Dad has a workshop, this mat would sit nicely in front of a counter space or under a sink.

When you shop with Ladder 34 this Father’s Day, you are supporting a small, American business. Your gift will be one of a kind. No boring tie this Father’s Day. Dad will be so surprised to get something from Ladder 34 and will love telling his friends the story of his unique gift and how the hose served a fire department before becoming a floor mat, belt, or other item.

Whether your dad is a master chef, science guru, or lover of pets and nature, this Father’s Day give him the gift of an at-home science project he can do with the kids.
