Father’s Day Gift Guide—and Brunt Boot and Polo Shirt Review

Father’s Day is only a few weeks away, and if you have a dad in your life who’s like my husband, you know how challenging he can be to shop for! If you’re struggling to find the perfect gift this Father’s Day, check out this list of items I’ve put together. These practical and thoughtful picks are certain to bring a smile!

Sure to Be Loved Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Comfortable, Waterproof Work Boots

My husband is the kind of man who will wear the same polo shirt or pair of shoes for years, even when they’re worse for the wear. His philosophy is simple: If it still works, why replace it? For example, he has just one pair of work boots, and he’s them for as long as I can remember. They’re so well broken in that they’re just one step away from having a hole in them.

So this year I’m gifting him a pair of Brunt Marin waterproof 6″ moc toe soft-toe work boots! (Fingers crossed he doesn’t read this post!)

These boots are great looking and feature rich brown leather, bold black accents, and crisp white, non-slip soles for a modern workwear style. The leather boots can handle anything that’s thrown at them, providing all-day comfort. The boots are even electrical hazard and electrical shock resistant rated. Additionally, they can be switched from a regular fit (D) to a relaxed fit (EE) by removing the gray insert below their insoles.

Ventilated Tech Polo

I am pairing those boots with a black ventilated tech polo from Brunt. The classically styled shirt is lightweight and breathable. It offers four-way stretch, ventilated mesh panels, and even UPF 50+ Sun Protection, and is both quick-drying and moisture-wicking. That’s a great combination for working around the house, staying calm and cool on the job or for a hot summer day. I bet this polo will become one of my husband’s favorites!

You should also consider gifting the dad in your life with Brunt’s Starter Kit—you can bundle any of their fabulous boots with a pair of Brunt shorts or pants for your guy and save 10% off your purchase! That’s a great deal!

Dishwater-Safe Water Bottle

Whether your favorite dad spends weekdays commuting or weekends in the backyard or on the golf course, he should like a dishwasher-safe water bottle with a secure screw-on top—especially one similar to this leak-free stainless-steel water bottle. It’ll keep his water cold for hours and then be put in the dishwasher for cleaning. It’s available in multiple colors. I have one in army green, which actually looks like a deep forest green. I am planning to get one of these for my husband, too, to help him stay hydrated during the long, hot summer.

Hot/Cold Travel Tumbler

If your guy likes to have a piping-hot cup of coffee (or tea) on hand, he’ll enjoy a hot/cold travel beverage container like this 20-ounce tumbler from Beast. I got one in black for my husband, so he can enjoy a cup of coffee during his work commute. The reusable beverage container is dishwasher-friendly, has a splash-proof lid, fits in most car beverage holders, and comes with a bottle brush and two stainless-steel straws.

Wireless Earbuds

Few gifts combine practicality and enjoyment like wireless earbuds—my husband certainly enjoys his! Dads can use them while exercising, working around the house, traveling, or simply relaxing with their favorite music, YouTube video or podcast.

A Good Book

I recently purchased the novel, Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt for a loved one. It’s an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys fiction about nature, marine life, and the unexpected connections that bring people together. With its memorable characters and heartwarming themes, it’s a novel that appeals to a wide range of readers.

Another great book is the Pulitzer Prize-winning Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. Inspired by the Charles Dickens classic David Copperfield, it takes place in Appalachia. The novel follows Damon “Demon” Fields as he navigates poverty, foster care and addiction, offering a powerful, unforgettable portrait of modern America through the eyes of a deeply moving character.

Favorite Snacks

It’s hard to imagine any dad not enjoying a gift bag full of his favorite goodies, whether he adores beef jerky, chocolate or salty treats like chips or pretzels. Another option is to give the dad in your life a gift card—such as for more perishable treats like ice cream, pastries or donuts.

Travel Duffel Bag

Father’s Day is at the beginning of summer travel season, so why not gift him a durable and good-looking travel duffel bag? My husband uses his whenever we take long weekends to visit our kids in Massachusetts or for summer vacations together.

Streaming Service Subscription

However the dad on your gift list likes to spend his summer—whether it’s camping or unwinding in the backyard—he’ll appreciate a subscription to his favorite streaming service. Some of our favorites include Netflix, Hulu and Disney+. With access to countless movies, television shows, documentaries, and live events, he can enjoy entertainment whenever and wherever he wants. You could also consider pairing his subscription with an Amazon Fire TV Stick or a ROKU Streaming Stick, or even a new smart TV so he can easily access all his favorite content.

Portable Charger

Streaming can eat up a lot of power, so think about giving him a portable charger. It will keep his phone, tablet or other devices fully charged while he’s watching movies or catching up on the latest podcasts.
