Gift Ideas for Dad or Grandpa
Are you heading to the beach this summer? How about a new bathing suit or some poolside gear for dad? Here are some of the top products this year that dad will love. To shop them all, click on the photos above!
- A pickleball paddle – Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the U.S. for good reason — it’s fun, social, and easy to learn. If you don’t have courts nearby, no problem. Grab a portable net and set it up in the driveway. Your guy will love this gift, and it’s great for all ages — even grandpa. Grab this net and these court markers too.
- Acrylic frames – Looking for a simple, meaningful gift? These acrylic frames work with any decor style. Add a photo of the kids or grandkids and you’ve got a sweet, timeless Father’s Day gift that doesn’t feel overdone.
- Brumate Drink Insulators – One of our favorite pool and beach essentials. BrüMate keeps drinks cold for up to 12 hours and offers spill-proof cups and mugs — perfect for summer afternoons and lake days.
- Floafers for Men – The latest waterproof boat shoe that looks like a loafer. Comfortable, practical, and stylish — I’m officially a fan.
- Peter Millar Crown Seal Hat – One of Bo’s favorite brands, and for good reason. This hat is classic, well-made, and instantly elevates any casual outfit
- Premium Performance Polo – Another Bo-approved favorite. This performance polo is lightweight, breathable, and quickly becomes a go-to for golf days, dinners, and weekends.
- New swim trunks – We were at the lake recently and I realized Bo hadn’t gotten new swim trunks in a while — so this jumped to the top of my list. This style is flattering, comfortable, and just might make dad the hot dad at the pool this summer.

Bo’s Favorite Gift Ideas
Looking for a tried-and-true gift that’s husband-tested and approved? I put together a reel featuring Bo’s favorite products — items he owns, uses, and reaches for again and again.
Bo’s Best Gifts List
The items featured here are all products my husband Bo LOVES and has worn or used over and over again!
- Greyson Golf Shirt – From Eighteen South Boutique, this lightweight Greyson polo is one of Bo’s favorites. The fit and fabric are great. Use code CHAPPLE10 for 10% off your purchase.
- Magnolia League Men’s Skincare – A natural men’s skincare line inspired by Southern tradition and sport. Bo loves the quality and the scents — and I love how they smell on him too.
- Burled Box – The perfect nightstand piece for keys, a wallet, and everyday essentials. Functional and beautiful.
- Peter Millar Tennis Shoes – Bo’s favorite everyday shoe — he wears them constantly. The comfort is unmatched. His favorites are called the Peter Millar Camberfly sneaker.
- Acrylic frames – Still one of my go-to gift ideas. Easy, thoughtful, and works for dads and grandads alike.
- Peter Millar Golf Shirt – Bo lives in Peter Millar. These golf shirts are incredibly comfortable, and the color and pattern options are endless. This is one of those gifts that becomes an instant favorite.
- Martin Dingman Shoes – If you want your guy to look polished and put together, these luxury leather shoes are a must. They dress up or down easily. These are almost sold out, so I’ve linked a few additional options at different price points.
- Warby Parker Sunglasses – Bo’s go-to sunglasses — he doesn’t leave home without them.
- Brumate Drink Insulators – Worth mentioning again because we use them constantly. Perfect for summer and outdoor entertaining. This is our favorite brand–it keeps your beverage cold for 12 hours and they have spill-proof cups and mugs too!
- Bo’s wallet – Bo loves this wallet because it’s slim and functional, with card slots on both the inside and outside — practical and streamlined.
