Man, oh man, can it be tough to shop for Father’s Day gifts. There are only so many “World’s Best Dad” mugs and novelty ties one can own. That’s not to say you can’t consider some of the old reliable categories – tech gadgets, golf gear, grilling goodies, even the occasional gag gift. But at Cheree Berry Paper & Design, we prefer to give them a fresh spin, an unexpected twist or a personal touch.
Easier said than delivered, I know. To help you narrow in on the right present for him, I picked nine Father’s Day gift ideas below. And what’s a holiday dedicated to dad without a punny joke or two? For each gift idea, I’ve penned the perfect accompanying one-liner to put on your card.
Put it all together, and you’ll have the father figures in your life feeling like a top pop who’s appreciated not only for what he does, but also for who he is.

The Best Present Ever for the Best Dad Ever
What do you get the dad who says, “I’ve got everything I need”? Or the one who values the practical over the sentimental? Or the one who never expresses something he might want?
We may not be able to expand the limited pool of gifts geared toward men, but we can think about them through a more personal lens. Because the best present ever for the best dad ever is one that makes him feel known, needed and loved.
Happy Father’s Day!
xo, Cheree
