Best Father’s Day gifts for seniors 2021

The dads in my life have one thing in common. They really don’t like to be celebrated. Each would rather stand at the side of the stage and be proud of the person in the center of it. This Father’s Day, however, we can honor dads for all they do, even if they shy away from the spotlight. Skip the crowded greeting card aisle this year and check out these brilliant Father’s Day gifts that will leave him beaming.

1. Silver Swag Box

Especially for older dads, Silver Swag Box delivers a gift box filled with items perfect for celebrating. You can make a one-time purchase, or choose flexible subscription options such as one box delivered every two months, four months, or whatever you choose. Each box has uniquely themed gifts that include activities, something useful, and even snacks. A handwritten note on a greeting card will be included with your box, as well as a special card full of conversation starters for you and your favorite senior. This month, your dad will love the “Take Me Out to The Ball Game” collection featuring a hardcover book by Dale Berra about his father —baseball legend Yogi Berra— as well as baseball themed Mad Libs, a stress ball, Cracker Jacks and more. Silver Swag Boxes will be a hit for all older adults you love and cherish.

2. Storyworth

Here is a gift that will give back to you. StoryWorth is a subscription service that collects thoughts and anecdotes from a loved one and preserves them in book form. StoryWorth offers a service that emails Dad (or another storyteller) once weekly for a year. This email contains a question about his life, and the answer is then shared with you via email. At the end of one year, these stories are printed in a gorgeous hardcover book. Examples of questions include: Who inspires you? What about being a child do you miss the most? What is one of the most beautiful places you’ve ever been? Family members can send in photos to include in the book in black and white print with a full color cover. At only $99, this awesome one-year subscription includes one hardcover book up to 480 pages. StoryWorth commemorates a lifetime of memories to be shared for generations.

Is Dad a health nut? InsideTracker is the perfect gift to help him meet his health and fitness goals. A multidisciplinary approach will provide him with specific and helpful data to change his daily health habits and keep him going strong. We’re talking nutrition, mental and physical fitness and more. InsideTracker will collect and analyze your DNA, blood biomarkers and information you provide about your lifestyle.

Unique scents and thick, foamy lather transform his shower into an adventure for the senses.

It has double handles for easy carrying and has a slip resistant bottom so those drinks aren’t going anywhere. If his cooler needs are covered, he might appreciate the Men’s Bugout Sombriolet Sun Bucket Hat available in four sizes. This will keep the bugs away and shelter Dad from harmful UV rays. He can wear it on land or at sea. Who knew wearable protection could be so dapper? Check out their selection of jackets, footwear, and all sorts of outdoor gear.

8. FirstLeaf Wine

Dads with a discerning palate will treasure in a wine subscription from Firstleaf. It starts with a quiz to personalize the experience. A highly trained wine concierge hand selects wines to represent your unique tastes. As you rate the wines, each subsequent shipment will represent your preferences even more. Red? White? Sweet? Dry? Firstleaf’s wine selection is vast and special. Try the Father’s Day Reds & Whites bundle.

Carhartt’s quality work apparel company has been a family owned business since 1889. You will find durable work and outdoor clothing gifts just right for Dad. He will love the Pocket T-Shirt, their most iconic and best-selling t-shirt. It is available in sizes up to 5X and in over 20 colors. The crewneck holds its shape in a hard day’s work, and Carhartt makes it tagless for a smooth feel. To keep dad a little warmer, opt for the Midweight Logo Hoodie. It is perfect for layering, and easy to wear with a tool belt. The cotton blend adds versatility for everyday wear. Dads love the comfort and familiarity of a good hoodie. It will quickly become his favorite. If you are looking for something Dad will use on the job, grab him the Duck Nail Apron. It is the perfect way to keep small tools close at hand. With four large pockets, pencil pocket and even tool loops, this durable nail apron will last a long time. Show dad that nothing will outlast your love for him, except for his Carhartt gear.
