Father’s Day Gift Guide: 19 Gifts For Dads Obsessed With Art And Décor

Father’s Day is getting close and there’s just enough time left to purchase a thoughtful gift to show dad how much he is loved. With the fallout of coronavirus, limitations on spectator sports, dining, large events, and travel—the majority of people are likely to spend more time at home this summer than in previous years. Alas, tickets, ties, and other standard gifts won’t really cut it in 2020. So, purchasing art, décor, or anything for the home is your best bet. Whether dad prefers cooking or drinking, fine art or furniture here are nineteen stylish Father’s Day gifts to consider giving right now.

Elizabeth Sutton Daddy Issues Art

“As a woman who doesn’t speak to her own father and who is also personally divorced, Father’s Day is a hard day to function in the realm of social media,” artist Elizabeth Sutton tells me. “The intention of this artwork is to send a positive message to many who struggle with daddy issues. Mine made me strong.” 

While this mixed media piece is a great gift to give yourself, it is a truly unique find for dads with a certain sense of humor. The heart shape and bright colors are whimsical, charming, and make a great addition to any modern or contemporary room.

How sweet! Instagram-famous candy artist Robyn Blair Davidson recently launched a line of puzzles. This is a very appropriate gift, especially right now because it provides an activity that fathers and children can do together in quarantine. These 200-piece puzzles are a fun way to pass the time. They can also be framed when they’re all put together. Then add a card and some of dad’s favorite candy.

Chop Chop Cutting Board By ArtSugar

If dad likes to cook, why not give him a new cutting board? While ArtSugar is best known for its prints created by some of the most popular artists on Instagram, the brand has had several successful décor launches in 2020 including this glass board, which is equally functional and decorative. Don’t store it in a drawer— leave it out on the counter for the sake of convenience and a bit of humor.

Wüsthof Crafter 7-Piece Knife Set

What good is a cutting board without new knives? This set is useful for all skill levels from aspiring mac and cheese cooks to those who missed their true calling as a contestant on Top Chef. 

The attractive oak block has nine slots and comes with a paring knife, serrated utility knife, chef’s knife, bread knife, and pull-apart kitchen shears.

A sharpener is also included, but unlikely to get much use because Wüsthof’s Precision Edge Technology ensures the high carbon steel blade stays 20 percent sharper and has twice the edge retention of other knives.

Whether dad doesn’t drink alcohol or he prefers sparkling water to fine wine, he’ll appreciate the Sodastream Aqua Fizz. This is a gift he can use every day. It turns tap water into sparkling water in just seconds. No running out for cans of seltzer or bottles of cocktail mixer ever again. It even includes a sleek dishwasher-safe carafe, making it easy to serve.

Bed Bath & Beyond PowerXL Smokeless Grill

The PowerXL Smokeless Grill evenly distributes heat to cook everything from steak to seafood and even veggies to perfection— right in the kitchen. Conveniently designed, this appliance plugs into any outlet. The plate leaves perfect grill marks and snaps out for easy cleaning. 

Lulu And Georgia Garden Kit

If Dad enjoys spending time outside, opt for this Garden Kit. With a trowel, gloves, and pouch, he can dig in the dirt all he wants without getting his hands dirty. Upgrade this gift by including some of his favorite seeds or perhaps some additional tools.

For the dad who is into yoga, spirituality or anything considered “woo woo,” a Home of Chiji Protection Crystal Energy Candle is a thoughtful present. Every candle features a different crystal with its own intention. For example, Citrine attracts abundance, while Fluorite is said to create positive energy. When dad is finished burning the candle, he can keep the crystal, making the impact of this token last for years to come.
