Father’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re anything like me, you are still at a total loss as to what to get for your dad. For some reason that I cannot quite fathom, fathers are just impossible to shop for. There are only so many Starbucks cards one man needs, and as great as gift ideas like these are, I am probably more likely to use a whiskey-making kit than my dad is.
So, what are some gift ideas that are fun, creative, and at least somewhat functional? For those with feline-adoring dads, I’ve compiled a list of the best cat-themed Father’s Day gifts, from designer cat slippers to $10 coffee mugs.
Cat tie
$24, Urban Outfitters (sold out - similar)
Forget those boring neutrals and conservative plaids! In this tie, your dad will be the snazziest-dressed at any business meeting.
Cat slippers
$725, Charlotte Olympia
The ideal gift for cat-loving dads with dapper taste (and cold feet). Charlotte Olympia’s Cool Cat slip-ons and Purrrfect High Tops are less pricey options that are just as cool.
Cat t-shirt
$32, Etsy
And if your dad’s more of a Star Wars kind of guy, this alternative is just as good.
Cat dad mug
$16, Leanna Lin’s Wonderland
So he can proudly flaunt his “cat dad” status while enjoying his morning coffee.
Cat socks
$10, The Sock Drawer
You can’t go wrong with a good pair of socks—especially cat-patterned ones.
Cat beer
About $35 for a six-pack, select beer and wine stores
And if your dad prefers wine to beer, not to worry - we’ve got him covered, too!
Cat beanie
$5, RipnDip
For those jokester dads…
Cat golf club cover
$25, Amazon
Your dad can keep his golf clubs snug with this adorable and practical headcover.
Cat apron
$15, Royal Academy
Whether he’s whipping up cookies or barbecuing a steak, this apron is a must-have for dads who love to cook as much as they love kitties.
Cat iPad case
$98, Etsy
This handmade iPad Air case—which is also available in sizes for iPad minis and eReaders—is purrfect for gadget-loving dads.
