Benefits of giving clutter-free gifts for dad:
Are you wondering why you should give your dad a clutter-free gift? There are many benefits to providing your dad with a gift like these. Below are just a few.
- You are not adding to the clutter in his home.
- You will have a unique opportunity to spend time with Dad.
- Deciding on a special clutter-free gift shows him that you know his interests.
- He knows that you support him in what he loves to do.
- You will be helping him keep busy and try new things.
Now, let's see what gifts your dad would love.
Prepare a nice meal for Dad.
Does Dad love to stay home for Father's Day? Make a nice dinner or make him his favorite dessert. Check out my grilling recipes to help you find the best recipe for him.
Give him gift cards to his favorite restaurant.
If your dad loves to eat out at a restaurant, taking him there and giving him a gift card is a great option for a clutter-free gift. He can enjoy the restaurant with you and then enjoy it later. It's a win-win.
Google Play or Apple Store Gift Card
Does he love to rent movies? Or does he love to play games on his phone? A gift card for music or movies on the Apple Store or Google Play will do the trick.
Detailing His Car
Does he love his car and drive in it often? Find a car detailing near you and ask them if they have gift cards. You are not only giving something your father will love, but you will also be supporting a local business.
Tickets to his Favorite Band, Sports event, or movie
Does he like going to see his favorite childhood band? Does he love a particular sport? How about going to the movies? Buying tickets for you and him to go together is a great way to spend time together without clutter.
A Weekend Away Gift
If your dad can't get away often, and you can afford it, why not give him a weekend with you somewhere you both would enjoy? Some suggestions are:
- Going to a race track and watching a race.
- Going hiking or rock climbing at a national park.
- Fishing at your favorite pond.
Gym Membership
If your dad is thinking about starting exercise, maybe consider getting him a gym membership at a nearby location. Ask him first if he would want one, you do not want to insult your dad on Father's Day.
Gamer Membership
Does your dad like to play games online or on his Xbox? You can give him an Xbox Live 3 Month Gold Membership - Digital Code (affiliate).
Golf Membership
Is he a golfer? You can gift him a membership at a nearby golf place or reserve a spot at TopGolf to enjoy together.
Day in the Life of a Professional Athlete
If he likes other sports, purchase some days that he can go there to play his favorite game. For example, give him a bowling pass for so many visits. Does he like racing cars? He might like doing NASCAR racing experience.
Food Club Membership
Does he love food? Give him a monthly club membership for a period of time. Some examples of clubs could be the Beer of the Month club, the Bread of the Month club, the Cookie of the Month club, and the Fruit of the Month club. Here are some options I found on Amazon(affiliate):
- Golden State DeLite Monthly Fruit Club - 3 Month Club,
- Root Beer of the Month Club--12 months,
- International Cheese of the Month - 3 Month/Pay Full (1.5 pounds)
Some other options for these monthly food clubs could be:
Take a Class with Him
Purchase a class for him to learn something new. Consider buying one for yourself, too, to take the course together. If he likes cooking, you can check out classes at Sur La Table or William Sonoma stores.
Season Pass Gift
Gift him a season pass for the year: amusement parks, aquarium, baseball games. This may be pricy. However, if there is an activity you did together in the past, this would be an excellent opportunity to continue that tradition.
Donation to His Favorite Charity
If your dad is passionate about a charity, giving a donation in his name to the charity is a great way of helping them and not adding clutter to his home.
Manicure
Does your dad work with his hands? He may enjoy a day when they would do a Gentlemen's Manicure. This usually provides hydration and exfoliation with a gentleman’s sense. It would include filing the nails, grooming cuticles, massaging the hands and forearms, and buffing to enhance a man’s hands. Check out your local spa for details.
Beverage Gift Cards
Does your dad love his beverages (coffee, tea, beer, etc.)? You can find a place to buy a gift card for that type of drink. Microbreweries are a great option since they are locally owned.
Ax Throwing
In recent years, ax-throwing venues have been popping up everywhere. Why not schedule time with Dad and your whole family and do some ax throwing?
Do some of the chores he would do
If you don't have a lot of money and want to give him something, why not do a chore he would love for someone else to do? How about mowing the lawn or weed-whacking? How about doing his laundry? You could do his laundry and fold it and put it away for him.
I hope this Clutter Free Gift Guide for Dad list gives you some ideas on what to give your dad this year. What are you planning to give Dad for Father's Day this year? What was your dad's favorite gift in the past? Please share your thoughts below.

Buying anything for my husband is very difficult for a couple of reasons. First, he pretty much buys himself whatever he wants:) Secondly, he is very busy and doesn't have time to enjoy many things. This year I got him a pair of All Birds, which have come highly recommended. Clothes seem to be a gift with him because he doesn't enjoy shopping, and thus is happy to have it done for him! Great to avoid buying small things that end up being clutter later.
Nancy Haworth says
Thank you for this list, I will share it with my followers. You're so right, spending time together is so much more important than stuff!
Linda Samuels says
Gifts of time, not stuff are the best! My husband is a train buff, and last year I gave him a gift certificate to go to a train museum together. Another time, I arranged for a train ride to a town north of us, and then we had lunch and explored the village together. This year, there were a few thing-things he wanted, so he'll be getting some real stuff. We're saving the time-related gift for our anniversary.
Janet Schiesl says
Thanks for the list. I am trying to find a gift idea. I think I'll get my husband's car detailed. He'll like that.
Sabrina Quairoli says
That's a great idea. He will probably love it.
Janet Barclay says
My husband and I used to sometimes take our dads out for fish and chips. They enjoyed the food and each other's company.
