Totally Weird Amazing and Unique Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Father’s Day can sometimes be the hardest shopping season of the year. I know it definitely is for me. If you want to change it up for dad come his big day, check out my top Father’s Day Gift Ideas below.

Oliberte Fair Trade Shoes starting at $55

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia has been called the “Milan of Africa” due to its booming fashion industry. I am always on the search for the best fair-trade clothing that I can find, and without a doubt, Oliberte shoes win for design, durability, and price. I mean, just look at these men’s shoes, they would still be considered pretty awesome even if they were manufactured traditionally. But, best part of this is you can get the father in your life something stylish AND promote ethical sourcing and labor. It’s a win-win.

HydroFlask Growler $60

If dad doesn’t have one of these Hydroflasks, it is a must buy. If he does already have one… then get him another! Hydroflask is the best insulated container that I have ever used (and I’ve been in the hottest and coldest climates in the world over the past year).

Also moms and dads with babies- this is a breastmilk life saver! At one gathering I attended recently that was full of parents, we had a Hydroflask full of icy beer next to a Hydroflask full of breastmilk (preserved at the perfect temperature). It pretty much sums up the versatility of this flask.

Specialized Small Batch Coffee Roasted to Order $12

Choose from a number of specialized beans from around the world, and within 24 hours, they will be roasted and shipped to you in a rustic paper parcel, that looks like it could have been hand delivered by Indiana Jones himself.

Leather Camera Strap $38

Keyport Slide 3.0

Okay, now we are going deep into dad territory. They call this device the “smartphone” of everyday carry tools, as it holds everything you need in one multi-tool. I was a little skeptical of how well this would go over for Father’s Day, but I have shown this to multiple men of various ages and they have all been enthusiastic about this device (one guy even purchased through his phone minutes after our conversation). It’s the dad-est thing on this list.
