The dads and granddads you love deserve their moment in the spotlight. Father’s Day is June 16, 2024, so you still have a little time to find the perfect gift for your favorite dad. But what kinds of gifts do dads like? A unique, thoughtful, and practical gift is one of the best ways to celebrate the day and show your dad how much you care. If your father is difficult to shop for, let these gift ideas for Father’s Day inspire you.

Unique Gifts for Every Dad on Your List

Compression Socks

Compression socks are a must-have for active seniors, but nobody wants to wear bulky or noticeable compression equipment when they’re out and about. Treat your favorite dad to some no-show, moisture-wicking athletic compression socks, and let him enjoy the comfort they provide at the gym. Or, purchase a few pairs of these subtle and stylish everyday compression socks so he can look and feel his best wherever he goes.

A Life Story Journal

No matter how well you know your father, there’s always a great story you haven’t heard from him yet. You can record those stories and turn them into a family heirloom with a life story journal. It provides prompts and a structure that will make it easy for your dad to share his life story with you, and you can even fill it out together to enjoy some quality time. It’s a great way to record your dad’s wisdom and share it with the rest of the family.

Audible Membership

Audiobooks are an essential resource for seniors with vision difficulties or those who simply enjoy hearing a good story. With an Audible membership, you can help your dad explore the joys of audiobooks for himself. Audible has an incredible library of books, ranging from new best sellers to the classics we all know and love. The app is also simple for seniors to use and can be operated from a smartphone or other online device.

A Historic Newspaper Reproduction

Is your dad a history buff? If so, you can knock his socks off this Father’s Day with a reproduction of a historic newspaper. Secure a copy of the paper from the day he was born, or choose an issue from a day that has historical importance to him. A newspaper reproduction is a great way to let him relieve the past and experience the news as it used to be reported. Historic newspapers make great framed gifts, too!

Cell Phone Screen Magnifier

If your dad or grandpa is a senior, there’s a good chance he has to use a pair of reading glasses every time he reads something on his cell phone. You can save him some squinting by giving him a cell phone screen magnifier for Father’s Day. These innovative screen projectors require no electricity and can magnify an existing smartphone screen by up to 400 percent. He’ll be able to read texts more easily, enjoy an e-book, or even watch a favorite classic film.
