It’s that time of year again. You know, that month where your kids want to get your husband the worst gifts ever. Welcome to June, where you will spend copious amounts of time talking them out of patterned socks and boring ties that have all been marked up just for Father’s Day. Yay for shopping with kids!
As always, I’m going to steer them to something I was already planning on buying him anyway, and hope for the best. These are my top picks this year that will definitely be better received than yet another #1 Dad mug.
Without further adieu, the Father’s Day Gift Guide:
FLÎKR Indoor fireplace
What guy doesn’t like tending a fire? The FLÎKR Fire isn’t like a traditional outdoor fireplace that leaves you smelling like a campfire and covered in soot, this personal fireplace is designed to use indoors instead of outside. Curious how you can burn a fire indoors? Because it uses isopropyl alcohol it means you can use it indoors in a ventilated area and it will produce no carbon monoxide or soot.
Here in the Pacific Northwest, we only get to use our outdoor areas a few months of the year, so the fact that it’s for indoor use was a huge selling point for me. Bonus: You can even cook over the FLÎKR Fire if you’d like since isopropyl alcohol burns clean.
You can check out the indoor fireplace at flikrfireplace.com and purchase the FLIKR on Amazon.
iLive Sound Bar with Subwoofer
The one drawback to all these super thin flat screen TVs is that the sound quality is pretty terrible. I certainly don’t miss the days of 65lb televisions, but I really do miss the deeper and richer sounds of older TVs. The solution? A sound bar to help create a fuller sound, without giving up your flat screen. This wall mountable and slim 37” sound bar with wireless subwoofer has 2.1 channel stereo sound and has easy to adjust presets to help you get the best sound out of the units.
The iLive Sound Bar with Subwoofer is great for smaller rooms where a full surround sound system would be overkill, but you still want to hear the range of sounds. Not only can you connect the iLive Sound Bar to your TV, but you can also rock out to your entire music library by connecting via Bluetooth. The iLive Sound Bar with Subwoofer {ITBSW397B} is perfect for allowing you to fully enjoy your movies, shows, and music without having to piece together a huge speaker system.

Shop Redbubble for all your favorite shows and inside jokes
Their slogan is “Find Your Thing”, and I promise you that you definitely will do just that when you shop Redbubble. Whether you are looking for something from your favorite shows, movies, or games, or you are looking for original art based on Dad’s interests, there really is something for everyone. Show Dad how much you know about him by choosing a shirt, piece of art, or houseware item based off his favorite things.
I love Redbubble because I like subtle references to my favorite things – not items that scream out the name of the show or movie. Redbubble has thousands of options that only a true fan would get, and I love that one of our kids can simply type in the name of something he loves and pages upon pages will appear for them to choose from. This takes a lot of guesswork out of shopping, and makes it easier for kids to help find the perfect gift. Win, win. See why we not only love all the products from Redbubble, but how they also support independent artists.

Andover SpinDeck turntable and SpinBase speaker
The Andover SpinDeck turntable is perfect for the retro-loving dad who still collects his favorite tunes on vinyl. Basically, the SpinDeck is part art and part audiophile’s dream. It’s sleek and beautiful, without being too gimmicky or faux retro. It’s just a great quality design that has all the classic appeal while still having all the newest technologic advances in turntables.
Pair the SpinDeck with the SpinBase and it’s the best of all worlds. You have your minimalist design, your European engineering, and your high-end audio that not only plays records, but also connects to Bluetooth so you can play all of your favorite streaming music as well.
We got ours in December and we have since bought all the accessories, and now we love it even more. You can see and read more in our full review of the SpinDeck and SpinBase.

Home bar accessories
This past year has really brought out the bartender in my husband and I, and I’m thrilled. I learned a whole lot about myself in quarantine, and one of the first things I learned is that I’d much rather drink at home than away. So, then we started learning our favorite drinks and trying new ones, only to find out that we’d been drinking all the wrong stuff all these years. At least we’re growing as people, right?
We’re still not heavy drinkers by any stretch, but now we’ve collected all the barware, mixers, and extras so our home bar has everything we could ever want. We now own all the copper bar accessories from Williams Sonoma, as well as this amazing handheld juicer from Rabbit, and my favorite, a mixologist infuser so you can make your own infused vodka, gin, and more.
Storage for the keeper of memories
Does your husband put the “papa” in paparazzi? If so, I’ve got the perfect solution for keeping all those memories safe. This may seem like a weird addition to a Father’s Day Gift Guide, but once you check it out, you’ll get it.
This isn’t just any flash drive. The SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe can hold an entire image library with 1TB storage. No more of the “I’ll email this to there and then download it there” dance in order to get important files and photos off devices. Now all of your important files will be in one place, which you can store literally anywhere.
Not only can it store a ton of pictures, it’s also really big on features like super fast transfer rates, swivel cover for throwing into your laptop bag, and even easy to slip onto a keyring for easy access. Now you can take even more photos and access them across all your devices just by plugging in the drive, and you can even automatically back up your latest photos, videos, music, documents and contacts with the SanDisk Memory zone app.
Find out more at shop.westerndigital.com and buy the Ultra Dual Drive Luxe on Amazon.
Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro
We’ve talked before about how much we love the Anova Precision Cooker and how it can revolutionize your kitchen. This year I was introduced to their sous vide accessories at CES and quickly fell in love with their Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro. Perfect for when you’re using the Precision Cooker, or just for storing items you bought in bulk to keep them fresher longer. I’ve used other sealers in the past, but the Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro blows the competition out of the water.
First off, it has a reliable double sealer, which can prevent many of the mistakes I’ve made in the past. Secondly, it has a built-in bag storage with an integrated cutter, which makes it easy to get out and seal quickly. And, last but not least, it has dedicated dry and wet modes for when you’re sealing something with liquids – which is basically a disgusting disaster with other sealers.
Shop for the Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro or you can get a combo sous vide and sealer from Anova.
JetBoil stove
We’ve had our original JetBoil for over a decade now, and have upgraded to the larger size as well as now owning all the new fancy attachments. It’s still one of the first things we grab for any outdoor events where we just might need food – even though we now have a dozen other camping stoves or cooking systems. JetBoil is far and away our favorite in terms of quick and efficient cooking, and that’s why it gets all the Father’s Day love.
Jetboil’s proprietary regulator technology offers incremental heat adjustments from light simmer to full boil, perfect for sautéing greens, simmering sauces, and more. Add the optional Jetboil Java Press, pot support, skillet, and FluxRing cooking pot to expand your meal options on the trail.
Shop here the see the different compact and portable cooking system options from JetBoil and don’t forget the JetBoil fuel.
