You know the dad who has everything? The one who’s impossible to shop for? Yep, so do we. So here, we present some of our favorite splurgey Father’s Day gift ideas for that very guy. Not that he wouldn’t love something from the rest of our Father’s Day Gift Guide, but if you want to spend a little more this year, here are some gifts that wow us.

Vintage Scrabble Set
For family game night, there is just no comparison between this originali style board and those flat cardboard ones. To say nothing of the digital version on your 3-inch phone screen. ($179 at Restoration Hardware)

Personalized Cufflinks from his Signature
Yes, it’s spendy, but wow, what an impression. Swipe his initials or signature off some paper lying around, or have your kiddo write out Dad’s first initial. Pick silver, gold plate, gold, or platinum, if money is no object. ($350+ at Cuff Him)

 

Deco Watch
The great thing about vintage watches: They never go out of style. ($450 at Peter Nappi)

Custom Vehicle Art
If he’s got a favorite car from his youth, a dream car, or even a boat, this cool service will replicate it on a background of your choice. ($395 at Uncommon Goods)

Brooks Leather Bicycle Seat and Matching Grips
For a sporty dad, consider a splurgey bit of gear that he’d never by for himself, like this sweet leather seat. ($119, 89 at Kaufmann Mercantile)

JD Salinger Boxed Set
Any literary dad will love this box set of Salinger novels, with reproductions of the original cover art. ($99.99, Anthropologie)

Handcrafted Travel Backgammon
If Scrabble isn’t his game, this travel backgammon set is just gorgeous. ($160, Fredericks + Mae)

BBQ Briefcase
Yes, grilling tools for Father’s Day can be a cliche but what can we say? Man like fire. Man like build fire. Man no feel like caveman around fire with this briefcase. ($85, Uncommon Goods)

Saga Electric Guitar Set
If he’s always been jonesing for a guitar, check out this set which lets him put his own together. That way if he never picks it up, he can still feel proud of it. ($200, Maker Shed)

Ballpark Blueprints
If he’s a baseball fanatic, choose from 21 different ballparks on these awesome blueprints of the stadiums. ($185, Uncommon Goods)

Italian Leather Tie Case
If he already has his share of fancy ties, here’s the fancy leather case to store them all when he hits the road. Gorgeous. ($185 at Gent Supply Co)

Peugeot Electric Pepper Mill
For the culinary dad, an electric pepper mill is so indulgently perfect. Especially one as well made as the ones from Peugeot. ($115, Give Simple)

Handmade Leather Football
This football would make an awesome desk piece or bookshelf display. At this price, mayyyybe don’t actually go outside and toss it around. ($139, Kaufmann Mercantile)

Refurbished Polaroid Camera with Film Bundle
Polaroids are coming back and this refurbished camera comes with everything he needs to snap, and shake it like…well, you know. ($117.31 on sale, Polaroid Store)

65″ McCauley American Ninja 3-Bladed Ground-Adjustable Metal Aviation Art Airplane Propeller
Oh, like he already has one? ($3695, Plane Pieces)

  28. Hi
    Only felt Compelled To write cause the money helps hehe. But also cause, The Custom Vehicle Art, thought was great and brought back memories of good old days. And thought what a nice gift. Since I worry those days are slipping farther away with a great era in time.. Hard to see the good old classics on the road now a days except when there is a car show around mostly what a shame.. Now its all about technology, which is nice also but just not the same. Like everything else classic bands ,tv’s ,furniture, etc. Now it’s all new age mostly.
    I hope we never forget a great era in time along with the new. Would be a great loss. Now its all about keeping up and throwing away like yesterdays news.
