Gift Ideas for Your Father/Father-in-Law

Once you start getting into the details of your wedding, you’ll realize how many people you would like to get a gift for. The obvious people come to mind, like your father, brother, or grandfather, but there may be others that you’d like to have something special too. You may want to get a little something for your father-in-law or a close male figure that has taken a fatherly role in your life. That’s where personalized gifts are great. When planning for a destination wedding you’ll want to keep these gift ideas for your father/father-in-law small and easy to pack as well.

With personalized gifts you aren’t limited to who they can apply to. Instead of searching for “gifts for fathers” you can use these gift ideas below as a reference for not only what type of gift you’d like to give, but what exactly you’d like it to say. That way, they can apply towards anyone and it will make shopping for them a breeze.

Most of these gift ideas are from Etsy. They’re great for contacting the individual shop and customizing it to exactly what you’d like.

1. Personalized Handkerchief

If the man in your life is a little more old fashioned, these handkerchiefs are perfect. Something they can take with them anywhere they go, or as a keepsake at home.

2. Personalized Cufflinks

The men in your life usually get dressed up to the nines a few times a year. One thing that they don’t normally think about, but adds a really nice touch, is cufflinks. They make their suit that much spiffier looking, and with these personalized ones they can be reminded every so often how important they are to you.

3. Personalized Keychain

What’s nice about this keychain is that it can be for your father who’s a little more laid back, or for your brother, uncle, or another important man in your life. You can customize what text is put on it, so if you’re looking for something small for a man in your life, this would be thoughtful and perfect.

4. Custom Engraved Whiskey Glasses

Do you know someone who prefers drinking liquor or know they only drink it on special occasions? These whiskey (or any drink of choice) glasses may be a perfect reminder about the important role they played on your big day.
