  1. Omg Tyna – these are great suggestions!! I could use EVERY ONE of them for my husband! Forget the beard trimmer and golf club he was gonna get – now he’s getting the spice rubs…or am I?!

  2. These are great ideas! I never know what to get my dad! Also, I know so many guys who would love to get that marshmallow bow and arrow toy. LOL.

  3. Dang, that bacon looks sooooo fantastic!
    I want to wrap it around some scallops and eat it in my Dads honor!
    Great,great ideas for Daddy-O’s everywhere!

  4. Great ideas @Tyna. I haven’t bought any of the men in my life a father’s day gift yet. I feel so behind! Gotta get the Bow and Mallow set for my son to give his daddy. Too cute! The spice rub set looks perfect for my grill lovin’ father-in-law and boy would my dad would love that bacon! Off to shop.

  5. I COULD NOT think of an idea for my dad before I read this post. As I was reading I was thinking, “my dad just doesn’t fit the mold, none of these will be right’ and then, THEN, the marshmallow shooter came along! Good idea! I’m going to look into that!

  6. My dad would love the Makita drill and might even let me borrow it. Hmmm…

    Thanks for all the great ideas, @tyna!

  7. Ok, I just ordered the spice rub set – so easy with paypal on Etsy! Thanks again for the suggestion!
