Shopping for Dad can be challenging.
He may already have the tools he needs, insist he doesn’t want anything or answer every question with, “I’m good.”
So what do you buy?
The answer is often simpler than you think. Start with what Dad actually enjoys doing. The best Christmas gifts for Dad tend to be practical, comfortable, hobby-inspired or a little bit of both.
Here are some ideas to help you find the right gift.
Gifts for the Golf-Loving Dad
If Dad spends his free time on the golf course, you already have a great starting point. Shop Golf.
Look for:
- Golf accessories
- Golf-themed gifts
Bealls Florida’s current men’s holiday assortment includes golf apparel and accessories, making golf a natural category for holiday shopping.
Choose something he can actually use rather than something that will sit on a shelf.
Gifts for the Fishing Dad
For the Dad who would rather be on the water than anywhere else, practical accessories are a strong choice.
Think about apparel designed for outdoor activities, sunglasses, hats, bags and other gear that fits his lifestyle.
And because Florida and fishing go hand in hand, gifts that work for warm-weather outdoor activities can be useful well beyond Christmas morning. Find his favorite brands like: Reel Legends, Guy Harvey, Salt Life and more.
Shop Fishing & Outdoor for Dad
Gifts for the Dad Who Loves the Outdoors
Does Dad spend weekends hiking, camping, boating or simply enjoying the backyard?
Look for comfortable clothing, accessories and practical gear.
A useful gift is especially satisfying when Dad can put it to work immediately.
Gifts for the Dad Who Loves to Relax
Not every Dad wants an adventure.
Some want a comfortable chair, a good movie and absolutely nothing on their schedule.
For the homebody Dad, consider:
- Lounge apparel
- Pajamas
- Slippers
- Robes
- Throw blankets
- Comfortable shirts
- Personal-care products
A cozy gift can be particularly good for the Dad who insists he doesn’t need anything.
Gifts for the Self-Care Dad
Personal-care gifts can be useful without feeling bored.
Consider shaving products, body wash, fragrance, grooming tools, or a toiletry bag.
Bealls’ current men’s holiday assortment includes grooming products, fragrance and toiletry accessories, providing plenty of options in this category.
Gifts for the Dad Who Loves to Entertain
If Dad enjoys hosting friends and family, look for gifts that make entertaining more fun.
Barware, drinkware, serving pieces, coolers and entertaining accessories can all be good options.
You can even create a small “Dad’s Bar Cart” gift around a few complementary accessories.
Gifts for the Traveling Dad
For a Dad who is constantly heading somewhere, practical travel accessories are a great choice.
Try:
- Toiletry bags
- Travel organizers
- Sunglasses
- Comfortable apparel
- Wallets
- Drinkware
- Small travel accessories
The key is to choose something he can use on his next trip.
Gifts for the Dad Who Has Everything
If Dad already has every gadget, shirt and tool imaginable, look for something he wouldn’t necessarily buy himself.
A comfortable new pair of slippers. A quality throw. A fun game. A personal-care gift. A new golf accessory.
Or give him the freedom to choose with a Bealls gift card.
Build a Dad Gift Basket
Build a Dad Gift Basket
One of the easiest ways to make several smaller gifts feel special is to group them together.
The Golf Basket
Golf accessory + hat + sunglasses + golf shirt.
The Relaxation Basket
Slippers + lounge pants + mug + cozy accessory.
The Travel Basket
Toiletry bag + sunglasses + wallet + travel accessory.
The Entertainer Basket
Drinkware + bar accessory + serving piece + game.
The possibilities are nearly endless.
A Great Gift Starts with Knowing Dad
You don’t need to find the most expensive gift.
Think about what Dad does on an ordinary Saturday.
Is he golfing? Fishing? Watching sports? Traveling? Working in the yard? Relaxing at home?
Start there.
A gift that fits his real life will always feel more thoughtful than something chosen simply because it was popular.
