If he likes beer, and going off of jubilantsquirrel 's idea, I have gotten H craft beer of the month type of thing from our local craft beer store. Once a month, we went to the store to pick up a box of various craft beers that the store curated for you. Ohhh! I wonder if our local place has something like this! MH isn't into much, just sports and beer. I'd love to buy him nice clothes or shoes but finding his size anywhere is next to impossible, so that's never an option. Yea, it was really cool and he liked it a lot. I like going to the store to pick out random stuff too but it's nice having people that actually know more about beers picking them out for you, and it was a good variety of stuff.

MH has his eye on a new pair of sunglasses, but I'm deciding if I want to spend the obscene amount of money they cost. I have no ideas otherwise. I think Cher has a site where she can find designer sunglasses for less. I don't remember the name of the site, tho. Thank you. I actually just found them at Designer Eyes for 20% off!

Experience of some kind? Concert, baseball game, local festival? MH doesn’t like “stuff”, he likes to do things. We’ll be OOT over FD and I got H killer seats to a baseball game. I loathe baseball and told him we would absolutely not be going to a game while we’re there. It’s the most selfless gift I could give.

H gets tickets to a local beer fest for Father's Day every year and then usually a more expensive or special release bottle of beer.

I got H some sneakers from a brand he likes. I don’t know if it exists near you, brux, but I got H a beer club that delivers monthly and he freaking loves it.

Oh boy, if I gauged his gift on what my Mother's Day gift was, he'd get nothing. But I don't care about Mother's Day that much, so it's no biggie.
He knows I will always take D-A-D pictures of B and frame them for him. I'm looking at getting him a new toolbox as well.

DH is away on FD and didn’t do much for Mother’s Day so not sure. He has his eye set on some new cycling kit so thinking about it.

H is into sweatpants, beer, and sports. And not much else. He's a tough cookie to shop for because he already does everything he wants. Have you ever done beer of the month clubs for him? I've done a couple for MH over the years. Amazing Clubs has one that I think he really enjoyed. H really loves these.

Do you guys like backyard games? You could get him a personalized cornhole/bean bag set or a large jenga set.

This year dh helped my youngest out on his gift giving by buying me a couple bottles of wine that son thought I'd like. he has drank more than I have. So Maybe wine? I'll probably buy him a bottle of bourbon cause he's out. Maybe a bird feeder and seeds cause he's been enjoying the birds lately. One if these will be from my youngest son who is out of town camping for 6 weeks and says he will try to send a card.

He’s researching the lock. Once he sends me the brand, I’ll let you know what we got and if we like it.

Mine is going away for a few days for a boy's trip shortly after, so that is his present. We might get sushi or something that night. Maybe go fishing that weekend.

I really like Man Crates. I got MH the Whiskey Appreciation crate for his birthday and he loved it. For father's day I got him the custom folding knife. He carries one every day and I think he'll like it.

I beat this one faster than I thought I would have, but haven't even come CLOSE to "finishing" it yet. There's so much to do in this one! I love it so very much, such a fun game! My H teases me endlessly for it, but I don't even care.

I just got H a set of floating sunglasses for all the pool and lake time we’ll be having this summer. I really just bought them because I thought he’d like them, but if I can make them a Father’s Day gift, so much the better!

DH is convinced we need a second Switch because there are games he wants to play, but B can't. I laughed and told him he was being ridiculous.

I'm now Googling "must-have tools" so I know what to fill DH's new toolbox with... I'm trying to decide if I should go through the tools we already have (which are old and/or not great quality) or if I should just buy new everything.
