A Unique Father’s Day Gift Guide For Hardworking, Southern Dads

Oh how I’ve wished for a Father’s Day gift guide like what I’m about to share with you! Am I the only one who thinks most other men’s gift guides out there are complete bologna?! I quickly scroll through them like no, no… heck no. The men in my life are farmers, outdoorsmen, southern country boys… and they don’t want to open a watch, a mug, a designer belt, or a tie on Father’s Day. They just don’t.

I’ve asked for input from my hunky hubs (get to know him here), and with the help of his friends, we’ve gathered 10 ideas I promise you’ve never thought of before. It’s some pretty weird stuff, so brace yourselves. But I know there will be some happy dads receiving what they actually want this year, from a guy’s gift guide created by the guys themselves. Read on for 10 Unique Father’s Day Gifts for all the dads in your life!

Horse Racing Dice Game

This game is SO fun! And that’s coming from a mama who really doesn’t like board games at all. We play this one at the lake, and I actually don’t hate it haha! It’s easy, family friendly, and it’s one my husband has been wanting for a while. I think either of these sets below would make an amazing Father’s Day gift for the man who has everything.

Bluetooth Headphones Designed For Mowing / Construction

These are ideal for use while mowing, doing loud construction work, leaf-blowing, etc. My husband wears these just about any time he steps outside to get some work done while listening to music or podcasts. They’re Bluetooth, so there are no annoying cords to get in his way while he’s working. Plus they’re noise-cancelling, rechargeable, they have an integrated microphone so he can receive calls while wearing them. There’s a reason why they have so many fantastic reviews. Bet the majority of them were from dads.

Cast Iron Steak Weight

I thought this sounded like a strange gift, until I looked it up. Yes, it really bothers me when my bacon rolls all the way up and I never knew there was a way to make perfect, flat strips of bacon for sandwiches. Well now I know there’s a tool for that thanks to this recommendation from my husband and his friends! An inexpensive gift that dads can use on the grill to impress everyone they cook for… yea that sounds like a winner to me (adds to cart).

Heavy-Duty Dart Board

Do not cheap-out on this one! I have done that before and the piece of junk I bought NEVER gets used. However, when we go somewhere with a high quality, heavy-duty dart board, you can’t pry the guys away from it! This would be a must have for a mancave or a shop. I personally don’t want holes in my drywall, so you may want to grab a cork backboard like this one if it’s going to be used in your house.

Beer Can Chicken Roaster Rack

Okay, I’ll admit this is something I’d never heard of before. But since I trust the guys who are helping me with this list, I’ll go out on a limb and say it’s a good idea. Honestly, the men in my life are impossible to shop for, and this is probably why. Because they want things like beer can chicken roaster racks. But that’s okay. If your guys were easy to shop for, you probably wouldn’t have clicked on this gift guide anyway.

Poker Chip Set

Poker night seems to be a standard favorite amongst men. Beer, snacks, money… a night away from the wife and kids. I’m rolling my eyes, but men live for game nights with their friends. Get your husband or dad a poker chip set and give them the green light to go hangout with the boys. Send them on their way with a case of beer, and ta-da, you just won Father’s Day!

Foam Roller For Muscle Recovery

Here’s another one I had never heard of in my entire life, but my husband asked for this for his birthday which is later this month. I ordered it right then and there so I wouldn’t forget, and he made me give it to him early! He’s used it almost nightly, and I actually have tried it out too. It’s a great way to realign your spine and ease muscle tension in your back. It’s recommended by chiropractors, and it’s a great price point if you have multiple gifts to buy. I bought Jordan the 36 inch one for reference.

Rugged Waterproof Floating Speaker

This is actually what I got Jordan last year for our anniversary and Father’s Day. Yes, totally guilty of doing combo gifts over here. His birthday, father’s day, and our anniversary are all in a 2 week span so sometimes it just has to be done. But anyway, this is a fantastic gift with a little higher price tag if you’re wanting to splurge on a dad in your life. We use this thing every day while we’re playing in the yard with the kids. If we’re at the lake we can literally toss the entire thing in the water and it floats there right along with us. It connects to your phone via Bluetooth, and unlike you phone, it can go anywhere with you without being damaged.

Wallet Alternative

This thing is actually so cool! I kind of want one for me. If your husband or dad is used to a standard tri-fold wallet, this will be a game changer. I’ve been told it’s uncomfortable to sit on a tri-fold wallet, and this slimmer design fixes that. The ones I’ve linked below have a little pop switch on them that fans your cards out for you. Why don’t all wallets have that?!

Distillery Tour

Okay okay, yes I work at a bourbon distillery and I’m totally plugging this for you locals! But honestly, a distillery tour is an awesome gift for a dad who likes whiskey. You can grab a cocktail at the bar and enjoy an afternoon tour as a family. People and children of all ages are welcome, you only have to be 21+ for the tasting portion at the very end. Then after Dad finishes his tour and bourbon tasting, you can let him pick out any gift he wants from the Gift Shop. If you’ll be visiting Owensboro, KY around Father’s Day, check out Green River Distilling Company for a tour and tasting. Book your tour online here, or call 270-240-0060 for more info. Just make sure you tell them you heard about through Haley’s Blog!

I’m sure if your husband and/or dad are anything like mine, they’ll definitely appreciate one of these gifts! I hope you found something they’ll love through one of my Amazon links. Pin this to your Pinterest or share it to your Facebook so that you can refer back to this list for future birthdays, Christmas gift ideas, and for next Father’s Day!
