Gifts For Dads Who Love To Stare Lawningly Out At Their Yard
Getting your dad a gift can be a real struggle. He rarely lets you know what he actually wants, and is always quick to tell you that he doesn't need anything. These are clearly lies. He wants things for his yard. Just look at how often he's out cutting the grass!
If you're looking to get your dad the perfect gift for his yard, we got you covered. Who knows, you might even find something for yourself!
Stop Getting Tangled In The Cords
If your dad has been using an electric mower, maybe it's time to get him a cordless lawn mower from GreenWorks. There's nothing worse than tripping over or worrying about running over the extension cord, and this one runs quieter than a traditional gas mower, so he won't have to worry about bothering the neighbors on a Sunday morning.
Bring Back An Old Classic Yard Game
There's something so nostalgic about a game of lawn darts. Horse shoes need a pit and can leave a hole where you put in the spike, but lawn darts is totally transportable and can be cleaned up easily whenever the lawn needs cutting. It's perfect for when the family is hosting a backyard barbecue.
He Can Finally Hold All His Tools In This Shed
Not every dad can have a garage, so if he needs a place all his own, this outdoor storage shed should do the trick. Standing over 7 feet tall, all your dad needs to do is lay the foundation before setting this up. Finally, he can put all his tools on display (or hide outside for a bit of alone time).
There's Nothing Like A Flat Lawn
If your dad is constantly bumping around his yard when he's trying to mow it, it's time to get a lawn roller to smooth things out. When filled up with sand the roller can weigh up to 230 pounds, which should help get the lumps out of the grass.
Keep All Your Tools In One Place
There's nothing worse than popping in the garage and tripping over all kinds of rakes and shovels. It's time to get those organized, and this tool corral can be attached to the wall so you can keep them all in one place. It's a huge space saver.
It's Grilling Season
Every dad might love his lawn, but the real reason he wants to be outside is to do some grilling. This hybrid pallet and gas grill can burn both propane and barbecue pellets, so you can grill quick or slow depending on what you're putting down.
Who Needs A Pool?
Listen, pools are expensive and take a lot more work than most people realize. If you can't imagine spending the time to maintain a pool, grab this Ape Yard Sprinkler instead. It's super light and easy to store, and will be a big hit when you have the family around.
Let Him Pretend He's A Ghostbuster
Most people think that a leaf blower is only useful in the fall, but if you get your dad this backpack blower, he's going to find a way to use it year-round. Suddenly he's going to be throwing away all his rakes and shovels, and the power of wind will be solving all of his issues.
Get Some Shade Under The Canopy
For all the work your dad put into his yard, there are still times he's willing to cover it up. This instant canopy gives him the option to get some shade as he hosts an outdoor barbecue, and it's simple and easy to put up and take down.
Give Him Something To Plop Down In
If your dad doesn't have one of these Shellback Adirondack chairs on his patio, is he even a dad? The curves on these chairs fit all kinds of sizes and shapes, and they come in a couple of different colors, so you can mix and match to your dad's content.
Keep The Bugs Out Of The Yard
For as much as dad loves to be out in the yard, he probably hates all the bugs. So grab him this insect trap to make sure that the only visitors he's getting are the ones he invites over. This insect trap doesn't use odor, chemicals, or noise, and comes with a pole mount so he can place it anywhere.
Keep Trim Around The Edges
If your dad takes his lawn seriously, he's probably taking the time to clean up around the edges. So make sure he has the right tools, like this corded string trimmer, to ensure that the fence is clean.
Toss Around Some Bocce Balls
If you're looking for a backyard game that's different every single time, it's time to invest in a bocce ball set. The goal is to get your ball as close the jack as possible, and it's the perfect game for your dad to get into as he starts to get closer to retirement.
A Drunken Gnome To Welcome Him Home
Dad might be bending over backward to make his yard look better than Joe's down the street, but he's still looking for ways to make his house look fun. This drunken gnome is the perfect cherry on top to welcome guests to his house.
Keep That 'Dog He Didn't Want' Safe And Secure
Sure, your dad said that under no circumstances did he want a dog, and now dad's carrying around his fluffy friend while he works on his lawn. If your dad needs to set him down for a bit, this play pen should do the trick.
No More Jumbled Hoses
There's nothing more frustrating than trying to water your lawn and seeing the hose get all bunched up. This Flex-able hose can help with that, and it's super light, so if it's your turn to do some of the chores, this shouldn't help you 'build character.'
Put Those Leaves To Good Use
Your dad is probably getting sick and tired of bagging all those leaves after blowing them around all day, so it's time to invest in a composter. This insulated composter can hold up in all seasons and should help your family lessen their carbon footprint and you can use your compost to make your gardens blossom even more.
Help Him Set Boundaries For The Little Ones
Dad's probably sick and tired of telling the kids to stop playing out near the road, so get him this outdoor boundary net so the kids know where it's acceptable to play. This should help outline where they can go and what's off-limits, and hopefully, it keeps all the toys on the right side of the net.
Help Him Fake It If He Can't Make It
Not every dad can have the yard of his dreams, but that doesn't mean he can't have a piece of grass to call his own. If he's missing out on a perfect lawn, bring the lawn to him with some artificial grass to call his own. He can roll it out if all he has is an apartment, or bring it to all the tailgates in the stadium parking lot.
Pink Flamingos Are A Classic For A Reason
As much as dad is looking to find new, innovative ways for his lawn to stand out in the neighborhood, there are some things that just make sense. Grab him a pair of pink flamingos to put out on the front lawn. Suddenly, a few more people will be slowing down as they pass by your house.
