Order Snacks Online and 10 Other Great Father’s Day Gifts

When I was a kid, almost every Father’s Day I can remember included a handmade “World’s Best Dad” card and a hand-painted mug. Not very creative (though I know he loved them, and he still drinks out of my finest mug masterpiece every time I visit).

Now that I’m an adult, it seems that gift-giving expectations have become much higher.

If you’re like me, you’re wondering what to give your dad this Father’s Day. And you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed with all of the options that are at your fingertips over the internet.

Maybe you should buy him another “fun” necktie with emblems of his favorite sport’s equipment…Nope!

We put together a list of our favorite creative gifts for dads and where you can pick them up below.

Whether you choose to order snacks online through a snack delivery service or to get your dad an experience-based gift of rafting down the Colorado, with these options, this Father’s Day is sure to give that “World’s Best Dad” sentiment with a gift that he’ll love and remember.

1.  For your dad on a “healthy kick”: order

snacks online via SnackNation



SnackNation delivers healthier snacks direct to consumers and offices across the nation. This healthy snack delivery service is the perfect Father’s Day gift for a busy dad who’s looking to make a healthy lifestyle change or who already chooses almonds and dried fruit instead of Cheetos and Snickers bars.

 2.  For your “techie golf” dad: track his

shots via Flight Scope

The Xi model is the industry’s first consumer golf launch monitor, and it gives users real time measurements on shot distance, precise landing position and club and ball speed.

3.  For your dad who loves an adventure: get him an experience he’ll never forget through Xperience Days



Let’s face it, an afternoon spent with your dad rafting down a river is a lot more memorable than giving him another necktie (or coffee mug)!

Give your dad the chance to spend the day together exploring the bay on a sightseeing sailing trip or even hanging out with the whole family during a photo safari in Central Park. Experience gifts create the memories that Father’s Day is all about!

These unique experience gifts are packaged as a gift certificate and are all offered here.

4.  For your buff dad: help him bulk up with a Dumbbell2

7.  For your manly dad: name a gene or chromosome of a manly specimen after your father through www.TheGenomeRegistry.com

Imagine naming a gene or chromosome of a manly stallion after your studly dad.

Many famous people have entire species named after them. Musician and former Beatle, Paul McCartney has a rose named after him, and Microsoft tech and business mogul Bill Gates has a fly named after him.

Why let them have all the fun? Why shouldn’t your dad have a gene or chromosome named after him, too? Of course, he deserves it!

8.  For your dad who’s working on-the-go: help him stay dry while staying connected with the Brolly rain umbrella

The Brolly umbrella features a unique finger hole grip that enables peoples’ thumbs to remain free for safely texting and e-mailing in the rain (something no other umbrella can claim). It’s the perfect umbrella for a tech savvy dad, as well as your father on-the-go who enjoys texting no matter how wet it is outside.

Additionally, the Brolly provides a secure and comfortable hold that is second to none. Because of its unique grip, it relieves pressure on the hands and is very useful for those that suffer from arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome.
