100 Father’s Day Gift Ideas—for Dads of All Ages & Stages
Yikes! Didn’t we just have Mother’s Day? 🤣 Well, don’t look now, but Father’s Day is just around the corner! It’s June 15 this year, but don’t worry! We’re here to help you with Father’s Day gift ideas for everyone on your list!
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.
Basically, what I’m getting at is: When holidays like Father’s Day roll around, you might just have a lot of amazing men from different generations to shop for! No worries, sweet empty nesters! We’ve put together nearly 100 Father’s Day gift ideas for everyone on your list. From senior adult parents to your empty-nest-hubby to the son-in-law who just became a father, we’ve got you covered.🙌

What I’m Giving Bob for Father’s Day
American Flag Hat | Gulf Coast Fish Belt
This year, Bob is getting several things! First and foremost is this beautifully-crafted Gulf Coast Fish Belt. I’ve been eyeing it for him for a while now. Our favorite vacation spot is our condo on Sanibel Island, on the Gulf Coast in Florida, and my avid fisherman knew each and every fish on this belt when I gave it to him (early!). It was a little more expensive than the gifts I usually give him, but oh-so worth it when I saw the look on his face!
It, along with this great-looking American Flag Hat are from Smathers & Branson, a premium accessories brand known for hand-stitched needlepoint products that blend classic style with a touch of whimsy. From belts and wallets to hats and key fobs, each piece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and timeless charm. For his birthday, I’m thinking of getting him some Baylor gear from their collegiate shop. I can’t believe they have so many universities to choose from!
Smathers & Branson is having a sitewide sale through Father’s Day! Use code SPRING10 to take 10% off orders over $100 | SPRING15– 15% off over $200 | SPRING20– 20% off over $300. Click HERE to browse.

BTW, when I told Bob I was going to use his photo for the section on senior adult dads, he was appalled! 😂 Sorry, buddy! Reality is reality! We love being grandparents, and Bob’s grandpa name is PopPop, which I think is perfect for him!

- For the foodie dad: Make Your Own Hot Sauce Kit or Father’s Day Charcuterie Board
