1. Desktop Plaques + Acrylic Blocks:  perfect for his desk at work, or nightstand at home. With a variety of sizes and shapes there is an option for every dad! 

2. Photo mugs- another gift that is great for the office or his home, because let's face it- coffee is life. My kids love when my husband uses the mug they gave him. They are a few years younger and they giggle and laugh seeing the silly photos we used for the mug. There are a variety of sizes, and colors to pick from and you can use a single photo or multiple.

3. Golf ball marker- I was SO excited when I found Rosie's Pendants Etsy shop! My husband, my father, and one of my my fathers-in-law are golf obsessed, so gifting them a personalized photo ball marker is a fun idea! [I hope they aren't reading this or they won't be very surprised when they open their Father's Day gift!] Rosie runs her business out of Fallbrook, CA- in San Diego County. I'm happy to be supporting a local small business! Three cheers for that!

4. Personalized beach towel- A great gift for the dad who loves to be in or around the water- I'm pretty sure that's almost everyone in San Diego. :) Whether he enjoys surfing, fishing, or hits the pool to swim laps before work he is bound to love a adorable photo towel personalized with his favorite little faces. 

5. Keychain + Luggage Tags: Dad can take his cute littles with him everywhere he goes with these adorable keychains and luggage tags! I ordered one for myself and my husband was legitimately jealous so I made sure to have one made for him too.

I hope you got some fun ideas for dad. I'd love to hear what you gifted the dads in your life! Comment below and give me some of your favorite ideas- or let me know if you tried any of my suggestions above! :)
