Father’s Day is just two Sundays from today. Have you started shopping for a great gift for your dad, husband or the father figure in your life? If so, you’re not alone.
Shopping for dad can be tough! You want to make sure you get him a gift he’ll love and will actually use. You can always go with a gift card if you know where he loves to shop or his favorite restaurant! If he’s a sports fan or loves playing sports, you’re going to want to purchase the hottest sports gear. Lifestyle expert, Lance Smith joined me for an interview recently to share some of the BEST sports inspired gifts for the dad in your life just in time for Sunday, June 17, 2018.
Please be sure to watch the video below to see Candace Rose Anderson interview with Lance Smith in its entirety. I made sure and transcribed the interview for you, so you can grab information on all the amazing Father’s Day gifts Lance mentioned during the interview easily and effortlessly.
Why You Shouldn’t Get Dad A Tie For Father’s Day
Candie Anderson: What’s on your wishlist for Father’s Day, Lance?
Lance Smith: “The Father’s Day wish list, it could be long. It’s really just the thought that counts, right? That’s what we’re talking about. You’ve got to listen to dad. No more ties. We’re good with ties!”
How To Pick The Perfect Gift For Dad
Candie Anderson: Do you have any tips on how we can pick the perfect gift for dad?
Lance Smith: “Dad likes sports, maybe? Maybe he’s outdoors a lot? Maybe he’s complaining about what he doesn’t have. You’ve got to listen to the man and he’ll let you know what he needs. Plus, if you got it for him last year, you’re probably good to go this year and don’t need to get it again.”
7 Father’s Day Gifts For Sports Enthusiasts
Candie Anderson: “What are some of the must have gifts for dad?
Lance Smith: “I’ve got some must have gifts right here. I hope you’re ready for that, I’m going to run them down.
Dad, probably a golfer (a lot of dads are) you’ve got to check out this Tommy Armour blade putter. The Tommy Armour brand is back exclusively at Dick’s Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy. This is a beautifully designed putter here. You’ve got to check that out!
Maybe he’s just into mini golf and the putter is just fine, but you could also make it a package deal and get him some MaxFli golf balls which also come in different colors, not just white.
This Walter Hagen polo here which has the moisture wicking technology – if you were to get him a shirt, this is the one to get. Even if he doesn’t golf, he’ll look good and keep him dry. It has UV protection so you’ll keep the man safe.
Now, if golf isn’t his thing, surely he sits down. We’ve got this folding chair (a lot of people have folding chairs, but this one is going to take it a step further). The GCI Outdoor rocker – this thing is an actual rocking chair that you can fold up and take with you on the go. It’s got a couple of hydraulic legs so you’ll be the coolest dad sitting on the sidelines.
Now if you don’t want to sit on the sidelines, and you want to get in the game, take the family outdoors with this wicked sports kickball. It’s a Wicked Big kickball, and it is quite literally, wicked big. This thing is huge! It comes with a pump to blow it up. It has the bases and home plate – everything you need to break out a kickball game whenever and wherever you are.
Of course you’ve got to have some drinks and stuff, and with that, everyone loves the Yeti brand. The Yeti Roadie 20 I have here, it’s an amazing piece of technology. It’s also available in June in the color charcoal. Maybe he’s got one, but I guarantee he doesn’t have charcoal yet.
Finally, if you are going to go smaller instead of that tie, at least get the man a hat. The New Era MLB caps are out with his favorite sports teams. The blue on blue is for Father’s Day, and the all white is exclusively at Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Whether it’s a cap or a putter or a shirt or a cooler, we’ve got something here that dad is going to love.”
