Lots of empty nesters are part of the sandwich generation, so gifting can get a bit overwhelming at times! The sandwich generation is the generation “caught in the middle,” — meaning many midlifers are supporting both senior adult parents and adult children (and maybe even grandchildren), whether financially, physically, or emotionally.

Father’s Day Gift Ideas for Midlife Dads

I still love shopping for my husband for Father’s Day! Although we’re empty nesters, I love to show my appreciation for his hard work and the years of dedication and love he continues to give to our (now adult) kids. If you’re looking for a gift for your husband, brother, brother-in-law, or another midlife dad, check out the gift ideas below!

What I’m Giving Bob for Father’s Day

People always ask what I’m giving Bob for Father’s Day, so I thought I’d share it with you! He’s getting the book Saved: A War Reporter’s Mission to Make It Home by Benjamin Hall. Bob loves adventure stories, so I think he’ll really enjoy this book about the Fox News journalist who, along with his crew, was blown up in a Russian strike while working in Ukraine. He was gravely injured and stuck in Kyiv, and it was unclear if he would make it out alive. This book is his story of survival.

I’m also giving him THIS small iWalk Portable Phone Charger in black. He is forever stealing my pink one! 🤣 It’s about the size of a tube of lipstick, and it plugs into the bottom of your phone so it’s useable while charging.

Finally, I’m giving him the From the Desk of Large Square Notepad from Joy Creative Shop. Bob loves pads and lists of all kinds, and you can customize the top AND bottom of this personalized list to say whatever you want it to (think emails/calls, meetings/calls, work/personal, errands/appointments, etc.) say. Remember that you can always take 10% off at Joy Creative Shop with code ENB10.
