Encourage a New Hobby for Father’s Day

June 1, 2016

Does your dad need a hobby? I was just talking to a neighbor over the fence the other day and he recently retired and is bored to tears. He’s gone and gotten a part time job but he’s still looking for something. That’s when it occurred to me that many dads might be looking for a new hobby and Father’s Day might be the perfect time to buy something to encourage that.

Here are some of my picks from Wayfair.

ice cream maker
Electric Ice Cream Maker
Does dad love his ice cream? Homemade ice cream is fun to make and much healthier than the store bought brands. This ice cream maker has a nostalgic look but is totally electric. A gift the whole family can enjoy!
home brewing kit
2 Gal Craft Beer Kit Plus
Brewing craft beer is a huge trend these days and what a better way to enjoy the weekend than with a bit of homemade beer?This kit is great for small batches as it makes 2 gallons of beer in 14 days. Just the right size and time for trying out a little something new.
trampolines
Super Jumper 14′ Trampoline with Enclosure
Dads need cardio too. And cardio with the kids is double the fun! Trampolines are a great way to also go “camping” without going too far from home. Sleep under the stars with did. How fun is that?
chicken coops
Trixie Chicken Coop with Outdoor Run
Is dad the urban farmer type? Encourage a poultry hobby with this chicken coop. The whole family will benefit.
tents
Cliff Hanger II Three Season Backpacking Tent
If dad is the outdoorsy type this 3 season tent is great for weekend camping or hiking trips. Maybe if mom is really lucky he will take the kids!
camping grills and stoves
Rotisserie Grill and Spit
Dad can be the king of the back yard or boy scout camp out with this rotisserie grill. It’s portable (but not backpacking friendly) and a great way to cook outdoors.
composters
5 Cubic Ft Tumbler Composter
Every gardener knows that good dirt is the key to good vegetables. Help dad with his gardening with this tumbling composter. It’s a smallish size so it won’t take up tons of room.
recliners
Serta Upholstery Recliner
If Dads favorite hobby is having a snooze in front of the TV this is definitely for him!

What hobby do you think your dad (or spouse) might like to take up?
