Best Unique Father of the Bride Gifts
1. Thank You
One of the most important and best father of the bride gifts is a handwritten thank you note.
Seriously girl, do not forget about this gift!
2. Photo Book
Put together a photo book for your dad of everything you and him. Start with your baby pictures and work your way through the years.
This is a gift that he will for sure need tissues for.
I love using Snapfish but there are other great options to choose from.
3. Digital Picture Frame
Ooo girl, if your dad doesn’t have a digital picture frame yet, this is a must. You can preload some pictures on it and you can send pictures to it from your phone, which is so fun.
Of course, you can get a traditional picture frame for your dad as well but I can tell you without a doubt that he will enjoy the digital frame more.
You should get one for yourself too so you can see all the pictures from your showers, bachelorette party, wedding, honeymoon, and more.
4. Father of the Bride Socks
These father of the bride socks are a way to add some fun to your wedding.
It really shouldn’t be so serious since it is a celebration after all.
5. Watch
This Michael Kors traditional watch for men is stunning.
There are a few different styles to choose from so I know you will find the perfect one for your dad.
6. Cuff Links
If your dad is going to look all fancy pants for your wedding then get him cufflinks to elevate his attire.
There are personalized cufflinks, carbon fiber cufflinks, and even white opal cufflinks if you want to go all out.
7. Favorite Beverage
Does your dad have a favorite drink of choice – Whiskey, Brandy, Vodka? I am talking about a nice bottle of something here.
This is a thoughtful and personal gift without it being personalized!
8. Tie
Of course, you could ask your dad to wear the tie that comes with his suit or tux OR you can go for unique and get him a special tie.
You can have a picture of you and him put on the underside of it.
9. Money Clip
If your dad is anything like my dad, he could probably use a new wallet or at the very least a money clip for fancy occasions.
10. Pocket Knife
If your dad is a pocket knife carrying kind of dad, get him a new pocket knife. Kershaw makes quality knives that your dad can use forever.
11. Slippers
Get your dad a nice pair of easy to put on slippers.
These memory foam slippers are great if you are on a budget.
If you can spend just a bit more then you have to check out the Minnetonka hard sole slipper.
12. Cologne
We both know cologne can get expensive (just like perfume) and that is why it makes such a fantastic luxury gift for your dad.
What does he like to wear? Pick him up a new bottle.
13. Earbuds
Get your dad a new set of earbuds.
The Bose brand and The Beats brand makes earbuds that are compatible with both Apple and Android phones and they are the best of the best.
14. Kindle
If your dad is a reader and doesn’t have a Kindle yet, this is the perfect gift for him! It is easy to use, easy to load books onto, and easy to travel with.
You can let him in on a little secret too. He can save money by checking books out on his Kindle through his local library.
15. Cooking/Grilling Items
If your dad is anything like mine, he loves to cook and grill. I mean, they are his happy place.
You could get him something simple like a new grill tool set or a grill seasonings set.
Or you could get a little crazy and get him a new smoker grill. My dad has a Trager and wow, it is incredible and the food that comes off it is delicious.
16. Hobby Items
What is your dad’s hobby? Does he love to golf, fish, or go hunting?
Whatever it is, get him something for his hobby.
17. Cooler
When it comes to coolers, I am sure you know that Yeti makes outstanding ones. And you certainly get what you pay for.
Your dad will love this portable wheeled cooler that can hold 45 cans of beer/pop.
18. Yeti Tumbler
I know Yeti Tumblers aren’t new but man, they are amazing and your dad will love it.
It will keep his coffee hot until the very last drop.
19. BruMate Can Cooler
BruMate makes amazing can coolers for bottles, cans, and skinny cans. I tested these out in over 100°F and my drink was cold until I finished it.
20. Smokeless Fire Pit
This smokeless fire pit will be a great addition to your dad’s patio. You will be able to enjoy it too when you visit him.
21. Camp Chairs
Your dad will love using either of these camp chairs. This rocking chair is excellent but I have to tell you the side table on this sports chair is also dynamite.
My dad has both and he recommends them all the time.
