Hospitality Hints is a monthly feature on our blog with some helpful hints for being hospitable in everyday life. Our hints may involve inviting people over, but not always! Most of the time, they will be about having a posture of hospitality—welcoming others into our lives.
We love the month of June. It means evenings sipping iced tea on front porch swings, family trips to the beach, but also the dreaded hunt for the perfect Father’s Day present.
Let’s face it: Dad is hard to shop for.
So we are turning this stressful situation into an opportunity to show dad some loving hospitality. Skim our Father’s Day Gift Guide to find a present that’s just right for him. You CAN knock his dad socks off with a surprise gift after all.
- For the dad who puts you to shame on the track: a Fitbit.
- For the dad who needs to work on his swing: golf lessons or a gift card to the closest sports equipment store.
- For the dad with an enviable stash of frequent flier miles: this toiletry bag he doesn’t have to share with Mom.
- For the dad who reminds you his love language is quality time: tickets to a ball game, concert, or any other activity you two can do together.
- For the dad who can fix anything: a mechanic’s tool set for when your car inevitably breaks down, a laser tape measure, or noise-canceling headphones to protect his ears while he’s using heavy equipment.
- For the dad who would rather hang out his grandkids: a bird feeder kit for your kids to assemble, paint, and give to him.
- For the dad who could use some encouragement: tickets to The Main Event.
- For the dad who can do a killer Darth Vader impersonation: this adorable reimagining of Darth Vader being a good dad to Luke and Leia.
- For the dad with dirt under his fingernails: garden essentials like this heirloom tomato book, a vacuum sealer for his hard-earned veggies, or this digital weather station to take his gardening to the next level.
- For the dad who gets nostalgic at baseball games: a subscription to MLB.com where he can watch live games to his heart’s content.
- For the dad who got choked up on your wedding day: a day spent picnicking at the local park, bike riding, or hiking with loved ones
- For every dad in the world: a hand-written note telling him how much you appreciate him.
