Personalized Father's Day gifts are always some of our favorite to track down, but this year we kept an eye out for personalized gifts for dad that were a bit off the beaten track. So no mugs. Just these cool custom gift ideas.
Don't miss our huge Father's Day Gift Guide Giveaway! Details below
Personalized Keychain for Dad
We're not sure if there's anything sweeter than this sterling keychain personalized from your very own kiddo. The more imperfect the handwriting, the more perfect the gift. ($48+ from Cherished Sentiments)
Custom Pocket Square
We love that this pocket square is actually round. This would be so great with a vintage family photo, a pic of a hero of his, the adorable new baby, or even his own father. There's a handy fold guide on site too--print it out and include it in the card. ($69 at Sebastien Grey Clothiers)
Custom Portrait From an Artist
We see a lot of custom portrait options, but few from real artists. There are lots to choose from at this site, but for dads, we especially love Ali Al-Sumayin's minimalist, modern take on portraits and illustrator Danilo Agutoli, whose work has been featured in magazines like Wired. Turnaround time starts at 2 weeks. ($960+ at Fabulous Noble)
Personalized Father's Day Photo Card
It's nice to find a service that lets you buy just one card. Choose from a daughter or a son. While you can't personalized the poem, it is pretty sweet. ($4.95, Ruva Cards)
Personalized Beer Glasses
These cool British-style pub glasses can accomodate a family name, hometown and year. Cheaper than buying your own pub.($49.95/set at Red Envelope)
Custom Guitar Strap
Get a rock n' roll dad pumped by uploading your own photos on this custom strap and adding your own text. All the fonts are extremely cool, of course. ($59+ at Strap Graphics)
Custom Engraved Beer Carrier
Not sure why dads get all the luck--we'd love one of these too. It's handmade out of Eugene, Oregon and it's pretty darn cool. ($49.99 at FunMade Products)
Monogrammed Locket Cufflinks
Can't pick between a monogram and a photo gift? These elegant cufflinks let you do both, perfect for a father, stepfather, or grandpa. Bring back French cuffs, please! ($99.99 at Red Envelope)
Personalized Song
Not that he doesn't love the way the kids make up their own lyrics to the Spongebob theme song, but this goes a step further--submit special interests, hobbies, people to be mentioned in the song and any other requests including musical genre. ($249+ from Your Personal Song)
Personalized Tabasco Gallon Jug
If your dad has everything there's no way he has this. Bonus: You will never have to buy Tabasco at the store ever again. ($44.95 from Country Store)
Custom Father's Day Art Print
Love this sentiment so much. Pick your color and add your signature at the bottom, all for a great price. ($19, Prints by Christine)
