Every Father’s Day, you try your best to find a present that shows your dad just how much he means to you. Sometimes, it’s best to go for something funny that’ll get him laughing, but it goes without saying that sentimental gifts always steal his heart. This year, express your love and appreciation by giving him one of these personalized Father’s Day gifts.
Here, you’ll find unique gift ideas, customized with his name, initials, photos or handwritten messages from his son or daughter. But just because these picks are more personal doesn’t mean they aren’t practical for day-to-day use: Your dad, stepdad, father-in-law or grandpa can use these gifts to bust open a cold one (an engraved bottle opener), furnish his man cave (a custom dartboard), wrangle his gadgets (a cool headphone holder) and so much more. You seriously can’t go wrong with any of these Father’s Day presents because personal is always best, especially if you’re buying for the guy who says he already has everything he could ever want.
Keep in mind that personalized gifts require some time to make, so leave yourself a few extra days to ensure that it arrives on time. If it doesn’t ship before Father’s Day, no worries: Make your dad a homemade card and tell him that something’s on the way.
