Father’s Day is just around the corner! Don’t wait until the last minute to find the perfect gift for the fathers in your life. Win the title of Dad’s Favorite this year by finding him a gift that: he will love, he will use, he will love to use, you will love too!

The Grill Master

Here in Kansas City, there are two seasons: BBQ Season and Tailgating Season.  Chances are Dad already has a grill along everything he might need to whip up a delicious spread.  The question is does he have everything organized? This man sized apron from Uncommon Goods comes with stainless steel tongs, spatula, basting brush and fork, ingeniously stored this their own pockets, along with a heavy duty oven mitt – just in case.

If clean-up is a chore for Dad, help him keep his grill sparkling clean by scraping the meal’s end BBQ goo off the grill. Or you can give him this Automatic Grill Cleaning Robot from GrillBot! Like a Rumba for your BBQ, The GrillBot thinks like a computer and cleans like an industrial machine.

The Portable BBQ Suitcase from Nordstrom is perfect for camping, tailgating, or a parking lot lunch break at the office. When closed it looks like a sleek metal briefcase, when open it looks like an impromptu picnic in the park.

The Backyardigan

If Dad dedicates a lot of his time to mowing and manicuring the lawn, then encourage him relax and enjoy the greens of his labor. The best way to appreciate the views of his manscaped backyard is by swaying with the breeze, suspended in a hammock.

Do you foresee the whole family clamoring for a turn in Dad’s new hammock? Decide who’s next by rolling the dice. Yard Dice from The Grommet is a great way to turn family fun night into an outdoor affair. Here are some great dice game ideas to get the fun rolling.

The Snacker

I have yet to meet a man who does not love to snack in front of the television. I also have yet to meet a man who doesn’t love a good grilled cheese sandwich.  Perfectly sized to serve up soup and a sandwich, this ceramic combo from Uncommon Goods lets Dad end the precarious balancing act of enjoying his favorite lunch.

Keep salsa from shimmying off Dad’s chips with the Salsabol at TheGrommet.com. This innovative bowl is designed with edges that push dip back onto the chip! If your house is the place to be during the big game, save your carpet from Super Bowl fumbles and invest in a few Salsabols for Dad’s snacking friends.

The Cave Man

Every Dad needs a place he can retreat to. For many men this place is the garage; the original man cave. The garage is usually the last place in the house to be accessorized. Help Dad brighten up his personal space with neon light like this clock from ManCaveGifts.com.

Man Caves are a popular request for many who plan to remodel or purchase a home. Many of the lower levels that we have remodeled at Design Connection, Inc. also include a home bar. The bar top is a perfect location for this “flowing” glass and metal faucet sculpture from Gary Guydosh exclusively for Uncommon Goods.

The Bartender

Even if Dad doesn’t have a dedicated space for a man cave or home bar, he can still serve drinks like a pro with these personalized pub glasses from Red Envelope.

Add a little bit of class to tequila shots with this beautiful Himalayan salt tequila set. It’s amazing how the rich taste of Himalayan crystal salt can enhance the flavor of Dad’s favorite tequila! This set from Red Envelope comes with four carved salt glasses and a wooden serving tray.
