Need-to-Stop-on-the-Way-to-Dad’s Ideas
These are great last minute gift ideas if you want to stop on the way to your father’s house and want to give him something tangible, as opposed to a subscription club or gift certificate.
Picture with Frame
This is a classic that NEVER gets old and is as easy as sending over a great photo to Walgreens and then picking out a frame there when you pick up your picture (which should be able to easily print within an hour).
This is great for Dads, husbands, and grandfathers!
DIY Cocktail Kits
You can create a really cute “cocktail kit” all in your grocery store. Just pick the liquor and include all the fixings you would need.
Here are some classic cocktail combinations that are perfect for dads:
- Bloody Mary – This can be a really fun one. Grab a bottle of bloody mary mix (non-alcoholic) and pair it with a bottle of either plain vodka or vodka that is infused with jalapeno, pickle, or cucumber. Then, you can add some fun garnishes like pickles, peppers, celery, olives, salts, or even shrimp!
- Manhattan – This classic cocktail requires rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters, and maraschino cherries. It’s a fun classic!
- Moscow Mule – Moscow mules require a bottle of vodka, ginger beer (non-alcoholic), a lime, and mint. If you can snag an actual mint plant that can be put into a pot, that’s a huge bonus! (And if you’ve got 2 days, here’s are fun moscow mule mugs that you can get on Amazon Prime to go with your gift)
**If you also have a place like Target near you, you may also be able to find cocktail glasses that match!
Mouth-Water Meat…and Dinner Fixings
This is a great idea if you’re planning on spending the afternoon and evening with your dad – pick up some really amazing steaks and plan on grilling or cooking dinner for your dad!
If your dad likes to cook or grill on his own too, then get some additional fun spices and or marinades as part of the gift that he can use later.
