Dad Approved Fathers Day Gifts
Finding the perfect present for your dad can be daunting, but with a little thought and effort, you're sure to find something that will make him happy.
Whether he's a techie, a foodie, or a sports fanatic, there's a gift out there that's perfect for him. If you are unsure about what to get the father figure in your life, use this gift list to inspire you this Father’s Day!
1. Apple Watch Band
We are an Apple Watch family and love competing to close our rings. I upgraded my dad’s rubber watch band to a leather one to make it look a little dressier. There are great options on Amazon, but I found an Auburn-themed band on Fanatics.com. This minor change makes your athletic tracker look more suitable to wear on fancier occasions.

2. Charging Dock
This is one of my dad’s favorite gifts! When you have an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods to charge each night, having a single station is much more convenient than trying to manage a bunch of cords that always end up tangled. Amazon Charging Dock
3. Pickleball Paddles
Pickleball is a fast-growing sport that is easy to learn and fun for people of all ages. A nice paddle can make a big difference in your game by providing better control and improved performance on the court. My dad enjoys being active and playing pickleball with friends. Investing in a nice set of paddles is a good idea for the avid pickleball player. Many paddles come in a set of 2, so you can enjoy playing together! Amazon Pickleball Paddles
4. Event Tickets
For the dad who prefers an experience rather than a physical gift, you could purchase tickets to a local sporting event or his favorite artists' concert. My family prefers experiences over things, so we love gifting tickets and trips to one another so we can all have fun and enjoy quality time together! www.stubhub.com
5. Shutterfly Gifts
No matter what your dad’s interests are, there is definitely a personalized gift that he will love. This shows that you put extra thought and effort into your gift. Dads can tell when you've taken the time to choose a gift that is specific to them and their interests. If your dad likes personalized gifts, Shutterfly is a great option. My dad still uses the personalized keychain of our family photos I gave him! www.shutterfly.com
When you are shopping for a gift for your father, I hope these ideas will help guide you. Take time to choose something truly meaningful to your dad. The best gifts are the ones that come from the heart!
Happy Father’s Day, and…
Be Well, Auburn.

Lydia is a junior studying Business Marketing. Upon graduation, she hopes to live somewhere in the beloved south and work in the jewelry industry.
When she is not working or attending class, you can find her taking long power walks around Auburn, attending a workout class, or watching Wheel of Fortune.
Her favorite things include Starbucks, Hokas, her family, and her Apple Watch. Lydia’s goal for her remaining years at Auburn University is to continue growing as a person so she can become the best version of herself and serve those around her to the best of her ability.
