The Ultimate Gift Guide For Father’s Day
Let’s be honest: finding the best gifts for dad isn’t the easiest task in the world. It can take hours, days, or weeks trying to figure out what he really needs (and it doesn’t help when he insists that he “doesn’t need anything”). But no matter what holiday it is, whether it’s his birthday, Christmas, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day, or an anniversary, be assured that the perfect gift actually DOES exist.
There’s no need to settle for another tie.
Below, we’ve put together a list of some of the best gifts for dad that you can find at The Crossroads Carmel. Let’s dive in!
Traeger Wood Pellet Grills
There’s a “wood-fired revolution” going on in the grilling industry — make sure the dad in your life isn’t missing out.
Pellet grills make food taste amazing no matter how you make it. You can grill, bake, smoke, braise, roast, and BBQ. Your dad will be the master of the backyard grill whether he’s smoking up masterpiece meats or designing delicious wood-fired pizzas. These pellet grills are as easy to use as an oven, and the WIFIRE® enabled controller gives you pinpoint precise temperature control from anywhere via an app.
Traeger has a huge selection of accessories that can match any dad’s cooking style. Get your man the ability to control fire at Ace Hardware.
Trendy “Dad Shoes”
Dad always says he doesn’t need shoes…until he actually gets new shoes (at which point he realizes he did need new shoes).
Right now is the best time to get ANY dad new shoes. Why? Because dad shoes might be one of the hottest styles for people of any age. Who knows how long these super comfortable, extra-cushioned, multi-fabric shoes will actually be “cool” to his kids.
