It can be hard to shop for the dad who has everything but don’t let this Father’s Day sneak away before you get the dad or dad figure in your life something he’ll use.
Whether your dad loves cars or just happens to drive a lot, you’ll find something in this list that will make this Father’s Day special for the car guy in your life.
Does your dad still insist upon driving cars with cassette players? I mean...come on. We all know at least one. Some may even have an 8 Track player in their car yet! It can be inevitable if he’s a fan of older vehicles or has a collection of his favorites. But you can help bring him to the present day with a cassette Bluetooth adapter. Help him connect his smart phone, and he can listen to more than just that same cassette collection he’s had since the 80’s.
It’s time to invest in some comfort while driving his car. Memory foam seat cushions relieve pressure to make for a more comfortable ride. They're easy to move so dad can pop it into his daily driver or the weekend classic he has. They can also come with a flap in the front that lets you store things like cell phones, money, or credit cards for easy access.
Not every dad is prepared when it comes to his car, even if he’s prepared when it comes to yours. A handy emergency kit can contain everything he’ll need for all types of emergencies. They can come with a first aid kit, jumper cables, cable ties, emergency poncho, and more. It’s especially great for dads who might always find themselves looking for an extra screwdriver or who always makes sure you’re prepared before he prepares himself.
Whether he likes working on cars or he needs some extra light, rechargeable LED work lights can be so helpful in many situations. They can come portable and are very bright. They can also come in a pack of four!
Nothing is worse than trying to enjoy your campsite only to bake in the sun. A canopy is great for anyone who needs a little bit of shelter. They can usually be assembled three different ways: as an A-frame attached, an A-frame detached, and an awning setup that attaches to your vehicle. It’s perfect for many different outdoor adventures.
Does anyone else’s dad get mad when everyone wants to stop for cold drinks and snacks at the gas station? It’s easy to find app-controlled in-car coolers that will keep your drinks and snacks cool while traveling.
Is dad still using that old gauge with the plastic stick that blows out? Bring him up to speed with the new stuff! Digital tire gauges are more accurate, look cool, and they can be found at any major store, usually pretty inexpensive!
Is dad always looking down to see where the GPS is taking him? Car cradles will get the phone out of his hand and up to the dash so it’s easier for him to see without being a distraction.
Have you ever opened your dad’s glove box and seen a mess inside? Did you know that they make organizers to keep all the things easy to find?
Give Dad a gift that really sucks (but not really)! If he likes to keep his car clean, a portable and rechargeable handheld vacuum is up his alley. Many types can plug into the 12V power jack.
