Great Gift Ideas For Father's Day

Father's Day falls on June 21 this year, so if you haven't started thinking about it yet, it's time.  You have just over a week to decide how you are going to celebrate Dad this year. Here are a few fun gift ideas from your friends at Isla Del Sol luxury condominiums at the Lake of the Ozarks.



Sporty Dad

This can mean that he loves playing sports, loves watching sports, or maybe even both.

  • a jersey from his favorite team
  • an indoor version of his favorite sport:  a basketball goal above the door or trash can, a mini putting green,...
  • activity tracker wristband (Fitbit)
  • goofy golf club covers
  • tickets to a game
  • a remote that makes it easy for him to flip between games
  • a portable grill for packing up to tailgate





King of the Grill Dad


Even if your dad doesn't cook much in the kitchen, he may be the only one that touches the grill.  For some reason, add fire and a guy is intrigued.

  • cookbook of new grilling ideas
  • a funny apron to wear when he's in grill-mode
  • fancy set of grilling tools
  • a variety of different types of BBQ sauces he has never tried
  • a variety of dry meat rubs from different regions
  • a BBQ branding iron (yes, they make those!)



Outdoor Dad

This is the father that loves to head outside and get away from modern living and technology.  He'll choose a tent in the woods over a hotel room any day.  

  • personalized pocket knife or the ultimate "everything but the kitchen sink" Swiss army knife
  • binoculars
  • really nice pair of sunglasses
  • new camping chair or tent
  • waterproof phone case
  • fishing pole and loaded tacklebox
  • rolling cooler


Family Fun Dad

If you have the type of father that likes nothing more than a day with the family, these are some great ideas for activities to do together.

  • new board game
  • a variety of decks of cards with neat backs
  • an outdoor game like horseshoes or badminton 
  • his favorite movie or a new one he's been wanting to see, along with popcorn & candy
  • #1 Dad coffee mug or t-shirt
  • surprise him with a family photo session


Car Crazy Dad

He's the one that has to point out every single cool car you pass on the street, or finds a way to work some type of mechanical talk into every conversation and turn it back to cars.

  • a subscription to car magazines
  • a replica of his dream car (unless of course, you can afford to get him the real thing!)
  • driving gloves so he can feel like a pro
  • a heated and/or cooling car seat cover
  • mini car vacuum 
  • polish and wax kit
  • electronic tire gauge


There are all different types of dads out there, and the gift possibilities are endless.  You know your dad the best, but hopefully some of our ideas will jump-start your brain and get your creative, gift-giving juices flowing.  

Remember, it doesn't always have to be something bought.  Spending time with your dad is the best gift that you can give him.  Some great examples for residents here at the Lake of the Ozarks waterfront condominiums of Isla Del Sol are hanging out by the pool, going for a walk or jog around the paths, taking out the boat from our dock, or just hanging out at the condo and having dinner together.  Whatever you end up doing, enjoy yourselves.  Happy Father's Day to each and every dad out there from Isla Del Sol.
