Father’s Day Gifts for the Gardener
Dads deserve a day to call their own.
And when you think about it, giving them only one day out of 365, it seems like they’re getting shortchanged.
But once you start trying to think about what to get for your dad, for the guy who always says he doesn’t need anything and seems to have everything, then you might be glad this day only comes once a year!
Of all the people to buy a gift for, dads can be the toughest.
We’re here to help out.
For the dad who loves gardening and spending time on his yard, here are seven gifts he’s sure to love.
Gorilla Heavy-duty Steel Utility Cart Don’t call this a wagon. Why? Well, for starters, most wagons can’t handle 1,200 pounds of cinder blocks, gravel, dirt or whatever else dad needs to haul around. Made with powder-coated steel that can stand up to serious abuse, this cart is perfect for tackling big and small landscaping projects. Highly maneuverable, it can be easily hauled by hand, by an ATV or tractor.
Worx 20V HydroShot When you think of your dad, you might not think of someone who is excited to clean. But trust us, with this portable power washer, things might change. Simply hook the HydroShot up to any water source and you get five times the water pressure of a garden hose. Perfect for getting rid of the dust, grime and dirt on dad’s boat, garage, pool, home — wherever. One of the coolest features is the two-in-one technology that allows it to switch between power cleaning mode and a gentle watering mode that is perfect for plants.
3M WorkTunes Wireless Hearing Protector w/ Bluetooth No matter what your age, it’s essential to wear ear protection when operating power tools like lawn mowers and trimmers. These brilliant headphones offer an astonishing noise reduction rating (NRR) of 24 decibels, and much more. Along with canceling out the noise, they have Bluetooth technology that allows dad to stream his favorite music or podcasts from his phone. In addition, Safe Volume Control Technology self-adjusts so that it plays at a safe volume. With even more features, this might be the smartest pair of headphones on the market, and a sure win for dad.
Essential gardening tools. Whether your dad has been a lifelong green thumb or he’s just starting to explore the joys of growing his own fruits and vegetables or tending flowers, why not get him a new set of gardening tools? Such a set would include the Big Grip Garden Knife, to slice up sod, cut roots and split seeds. The Big Grip Transplanter allows for maximum control when transferring plants from the pot to the garden — or vice versa. Every Big Grip product features an extra-large (and extra soft) handle, making it durable, easy to grip and comfortable to use.
Fleet Farm gift card With so many goodies on our shelves and down every aisle, it might seem overwhelming to find something for dad. So instead, why not leave it up to him? A Fleet Farm gift card is easy to purchase and use, and dad will be able to get just what he wants with it.
Fiskars UltraBlade Lopper All those trees and bushes that so beautifully grace your dad’s yard don’t just stay looking that good. Sometimes the branches get a bit unruly and need to be tamed. Ultrablade coating keeps these loppers sharp five times as long as untreated blades. Plus they’re ridiculously comfortable to use.
Bronco 42 in 17 hp Gas-Powered Riding Lawn Mower He probably doesn’t want to admit it, but dad’s getting old. Each year the lawn gets a little tougher to mow. The solution is to splurge this Father’s Day! Treat him to this powerful Troy-Bilt lawn tractor from Bronco. With features like a premium 17 horsepower Single Kohler Courage engine, AutoDrive transmission and one heck of a comfortable seat, dad will be eager to get out there and cut the grass.
Still not sure about what to get for dad? No worries there. The Fleet Farm Father’s Day Gift Guide has something for every type of dad, from the hunter to the grillmaster to the gearhead. So stop by, you’ll be sure to find something for him, and probably for yourself!
