Awesome Self-Care Gifts for Father’s Day

I talk about my parents ALOT. I can’t really help it. They are such an integral part of my life, from helping me around my house to supporting me after going through a particularly tough break up.

I wrote a similar post for Mother’s Day (check it out here). For this post, I’d like to focus on my dad, who is always there for me whenever I need him.

If you’d like to give back to your father or a father-like figure in your life, keep reading to check out these self-care gifts for Father’s Day.

Let’s Get to the Self-Care Gifts!

A Back and Neck Massager

I’ve talked about this back and neck massager in the post that I wrote for the best self-care gifts for Mother’s Day, but I had to include it here. I originally bought this massager for my mom, but my dad has since commandeered it from time to time.

Like my mom, my dad works at a labor-intensive job where he is on his feet every day and often suffers from back and knee pain. He loves this massager just as much as my mom does, so I will be getting this for him. (It’s also from Amazon so it makes a great last-minute father’s day gift!).

Car Model Kit

Now that my sister and I are (mostly) out of the house, my mom and my dad have gotten back into some of the hobbies that they used to have. For my dad, that is building car models. He used to do this (and I used to help) when I was much younger. I believe he stopped doing it because he didn’t want my sister to accidentally get into them.

He never picked up this hobby again until last year (my parents actually have a little craft/hobby section in their basement). Don’t forget the tools to build them! Helping your dad get back into his hobbies or discover a new one is a wonderful way to promote self-care.

SkillShare Membership

Similarly to the above, helping your father expand his mind through skill-building is a great way to promote self-care. Skillshare is an online learning website where anyone can learn about almost anything from creative writing to web development.

I’ve personally used Skillshare to learn more about copywriting, social media strategy, and search engine optimization, all to help me with this blog, which to me is a form of self-care. So if your dad loves to learn (or maybe he’s thinking about a career change!), this would be the perfect Father’s Day gift.

FitBit Versa SmartWatch

How does this fit into self-care gifts for Father’s Day? Not only is self-care about your mind, but it is about your body as well. If your father is someone who loves to take care of his body or someone who wants to get into physical self-care, this would make a great gift. It has multiple exercise modes, heart rate tracking, and a ton of other features. Don’t forget to customize it with a leather band in his favorite color.
