What I Gave My Dad (and Father's Day Ideas for You)
A handpicked list of meaningful gifts for the dads in your life.
Father’s Day
The Sunday Select
Next Sunday is Father’s Day. I don’t claim to be a great gift giver, but I do know that dads are essential. Their voice matters.
I recently started reading this book called The Intentional Father, by Jon Tyson. The book inspired me to write a tribute letter to my dad. This is a note to honor your father by expressing gratitude and, if needed, forgiveness for specific moments in your relationships. Yesterday, he received it in the mail, and this morning, he sent a heartfelt response. It was a great use of time and energy.
If you're interested in writing one to your dad or learning more about it, I've created a free summary document to help you.
So, whether you want to write a tribute letter or you want a gift idea, for your dad or significant other, here are some of my favorites.
Gift Idea #1
Smoked Old Fashion Kit

Something about a smoked old-fashioned makes your house feel fancy. If your dad likes bourbon as much as I do, he will love this.
Gift Idea #2
Owala Water Bottle

You might think of a water bottle for Mother’s Day, not Father’s Day. However, my daughter Lucy got this for me for my birthday, and it’s unbelievable.
Gift Idea #3
The 7 Commitments of a Great Team

If your dad cares about leading teams, Jon Gordon’s new book is fantastic.
Gift Idea #4
Remarkable Paper Pro

I have been using a Remarkable since Christmas, and I don’t know what I would do without it. Gone are the dozens of notebooks, trying to figure out what I wrote down and when.
Gift Idea #5
1-1 Executive Coaching
If your dad or significant other wants to take their life and leadership to the next level, consider getting them executive coaching. Our coaching program is currently 20% off and is 6 months long.
That’s it for this Sunday.
We will try to send one a month with great ideas, books, or products to help you on your leadership journey.
Have a great Sunday,
John Eades
CEO LearnLoft
