1. The Joule
The Joule is a sous vide (pronounced “soo veed”) tool for cooking. You place raw food within a plastic pouch or glass jar and then submerge it in water to cook at a regulated temperature. You get perfectly cooked food every time. (Think steak cooked to a precise done-ness.)
You can even tell Alexa to control the Joule for you. Lazy cooking, people!
2. Meat Thermometer
If you’ve ever undercooked or overcooked food on the grill, you need this meat thermometer. This thermometer displays the internal temperature of our food within 3-4 seconds! It works on any food that needs to be cooked or chilled…beef, poultry, fish, deep-fried foods, baked goods, candy.
3. Etsy Personalized Cutting Boards
With summertime grilling season upon us, these personalized cutting boards make great gifts for dad. We use ours for everything from appetizers to grilled meats. You can also learn how to make laser-engraved cutting boards at home if you own a laser machine.
4. Grillaholics Grill Basket
I dig the entire line of Grillaholics products on Amazon! With this special grilling basket, you can quickly sauté vegetables on the grill. It’s a must-have for vegetarians and carnivores alike!
5. Grilling Spice Gift Set
This grilling spice set is ideal for anyone who loves to experiment with new flavors on the grill. It comes with 15 rubs, spices, and salts to perfect grilled meats and veggies.
6. iPhone and Android Phone Camera Lens
This Macro and Wide-Angle Lens is designed to turn an ordinary iPhone or Android device into a versatile camera! It’s like a mini DSLR camera in your pocket, and this model comes with a lens case as well.
7. LED Headlamp
If you know of a father who does NOT own an LED headlamp, trust me when I say he will love getting one. It comes in handy for home improvement projects and all types of household tasks.
8. The Complete Manual of Woodworking
The new man-cave activity of choice is now woodworking. However, buying tools for a woodworker sounds like mission impossible. The Complete Manual of Woodworking is perfect for beginner woodworkers. Another great book for intermediate/advanced levels is Woodworking Wisdom & Know-How.
9. Man Cave Metal Sign
To decorate the “man cave,” you can find several personalized metal signs that would be perfect for Father’s Day.
10. DIY Wooden Sign
Try buying a pre-made wooden farmhouse sign if you love the idea of creating your own sign for Dad. You can hand-paint the lettering on it or use a Cameo or
11. Woodworker’s T-shirt
Since we have a fondness for woodworking in our house, this Sawdust is Man Glitter shirt is a must-have. I love how it’s playful yet manly all at the same time!
12. Heavy Duty Shop Apron
This heavy-duty shop apron looked so appealing; I actually purchased one for my husband last year. It did not disappoint! He loves using it while he tinkers around in his workshop.
13. Personalized Desk Sign
This fun personalized acrylic sign is a great way to dress up an office desk. For a more casual DIY option, you can also easily make this Decoupage Wood Sign for a garage workshop.
14. Funky Socks Bundle
Every man needs a few pairs of funky socks in his repertoire, right? 😉 These funky socks stopped me in my tracks. Love ’em!
15. Personalized Toiletry Kit
If your man is more traditional and not the “funky sock” type, try buying one of these handsome monogrammed toiletry kits that you can personalize just for him.
16. Camper Birdhouse
I wanted to buy this vintage camper birdhouse even before I realized it was a birdhouse. It’s too cute for words but still has a hip, masculine vibe!
17. Hex Jewelry Stand
This jewelry stand for men is one of the most unique gifts for dad I’ve seen. The multi-level design makes it super functional and very manly.

Great pics from your Costa Rica trip!
Thanks so much, Janet! There is so much to see there, we really enjoyed getting some close up shots with the spotting scope. Our kids had a blast. Highly recommend visiting!
Big, big fan of the Thermapen! This is one of those gifts where you just don’t realize how much it can help you until you have one! If you like to grill, this is a must have and the brand to go with.
I completely agree! We use ours all the time.
