Whether your kids are too young to wish their daddy a happy Father's Day, or you simply want to tell your husband how much you care, these gift ideas will make any dad feel loved.
Splurge on a couples massage
Your kids will be happier if their mom and dad are relaxed and stress-free. Splurge on a couples massage for you and your husband. It's a perfect way to thank him for all his hard work. If it's out of your budget, give him a massage yourself, with these sexy tips.
Stay in a hotel
Grab a suitcase and your husband and find an overnight babysitter. The two of you deserve to reconnect and get a good night's rest, so plan a special local getaway.

Engrave a decanter
Nothing says class like a decanter, especially when it's personalized with his initials. Fill it with his favorite liquor and he'll have even more to smile about. We love this classic decanter from Things Remembered ($35).
Buy tickets
Whether he's a sports fan, a music buff or loves to laugh, there has to be a local game, concert or comedy show coming up in your town. Do a little research, then buy two tickets and show him a good time.
Organize a picnic
For the man who has everything, plan a sweet picnic for the two of you. Sunshine, good food and better company... what husband wouldn't be happy with a little quiet time alone with his wife?

Reserve 18 holes of golf
Reserve 18 holes for your man and his golfing buddies. Send him off with a small cooler of beer and these cool personalized golf balls.
Plan a fishing day
You don't have to do much planning here. Just tell your husband he has the day to himself to set out on the water and catch some fish. And, that after it's filleted, you'll cook him a delicious fish dinner. You could give him a fully-stocked tackle box, too.
Make a "dude basket"
This DIY gift basket will let him know just how well you know him. Fill it with all his favorite goodies, like candy, chips, nuts, beer, liquor, beef jerky, small tools, car air fresheners, golf balls, barbecue sauce, grilling essentials... you know what he likes.

Schedule a beer bike excursion
Depending on your city, there are several different companies that rent out beer bikes (basically a pub on wheels). Get a group of friends together, contact your local beer bike company, and reserve a date. It's an experience to write home about.
Order a shave club membership
All men have to shave, right? Make it hassle free with a membership to the Dollar Shave Club. Simply choose a razor and they'll deliver it right to his door every month.
Go on a brewery tour or host a beer-tasting party
If you have breweries nearby, look up when they hold their brewery tours. Usually they last less than two hours and include samples. If he's more of a wine connoisseur, take him to a winery or vineyard instead. If you don't have breweries in your town, host a beer-tasting party for all the dads in your life.
