It’s no secret that dads are the hardest loved ones to shop for when it comes to finding the perfect gift.

To help with your gifting woes, we asked our team for some of their tried-and-true dad gifts, and this is what they came up with:

1. Dad Grill Set
This grill set has dad written all over it . . . literally. Just in case you forget who the real grill master is in your house.

2. Barbeque Spice and Rub Set
Throw these spices and rubs in with the grilling utensils above, and he’ll be ready to make you and the whole family dinner. It’s a win-win!

3. Keurig Single Serve Coffee Maker
Have a husband who loves a good cup of coffee but won’t stop at the coffee shop? #TeamHerView Dads use their Keurigs religiously on those early mornings when they are up and about chasing kids before the crack of dawn.

4. What I Love About Dad Journal
This fill-in-the-blank book is short and sweet, and will capture any dad’s heart. What guy doesn’t want to be reminded of all of the things that make him great? Plus, kids say the darndest things and some of the prompt responses are sure to leave all of you laughing.

5. Engraved Hammer
This is the perfect gift for the handyman of the house. Who knows, having a personalized hammer might just make him more apt to work on some of those honey-dos.

6. Beer Brewing Kit
For some dads, the only thing better than a nice cold beer at the end of a long day is the satisfaction of knowing that they brewed it themselves!

7. Suede Slippers
Give dad an excuse to kick up his feet with these cozy (but perfectly manly!) slippers. He deserves it!

8. Yeti Thermos
This thermos will keep his coffee hot or his water ice cold for hours no matter what he’s doing.

9. Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
Now dad can listen to the game on the go. This Bluetooth speaker can connect straight to his phone, and if it accidentally gets wet—no sweat! It’s waterproof, too.

10. Air Fryer
This is great for the health-conscious dad who still likes to indulge in fried foods. With this, he can enjoy the crunch without all of the grease.

11. Toilet Golf
If he gets tired of surfing his phone during those conveniently timed bathroom trips, he can practice his putting game instead. Bonus: the whole family will get a kick out of watching him open this particular gift.

12. Novelty Socks
Socks—because what’s a stocking without, well, a pair of stockings in it? These toe-huggers beat the boring ones he’s used to wearing.

13. Leather Laptop Bag
For the dad who always has his laptop in tow, this leather messenger bag is the perfect replacement for that beat up old bag he has hung onto for just a little too long.

14. Portable Cell Charger
Phone batteries just don’t seem to last—especially with kids around. This battery pack has enough ports to charge two devices at once, so he’ll always be ready for a quick recharge.

15 Heated Massage Chair Pad
Give him the gift of a massage that doesn’t require an appointment. He can use this to unwind a bit in his office chair, in the car, on the couch . . . just about anywhere!

16. Dad Joke Book
This handy little book will keep his dad joke game strong. We wouldn’t want him to lose the ability to make everyone in the family roll their eyes with his corny (yet endearing) humor, would we?

To the Little Girl With Pink Flowers on Her Shoes and Courage in Her Heart

In: Living

To the little girl with pink flowers on her white shoes and lacy fold-down socks, down and ready, tee ball glove in hand, teeth marks worn into the top. The Pittsburgh Pirates hat from Uncle Dave, a sign of camaraderie. A part of something bigger than herself. A too-long, locally sponsored t-shirt, tied up with a ponytail. Jean shorts and a belt. The type of ordinary only childhood can be. When ordinary is more than enough. No one can tell in this picture that you were scared. That you didn’t feel ready. That behind that tiny-toothed grin you were holding...

Keep Searching for the Perfect Pair of Jeans

In: Living

I don’t know about you, but finding a good pair of jeans has always felt like a process to me. These are too tight. Those are too loose. They fit my thighs but bunch at my hips. The dreaded waist gap. Too short—high waters. Too long, and suddenly you can’t find your legs. Before you know it, you’re ordering your fourth pair and eyeing a fifth. A woman on a mission. And still, as I stand there looking in the mirror at everything that doesn’t quite work, I just know there is a perfect pair out there for me. Somewhere....

Why I Had My Benign Breast Lumps Removed

In: Living

My journey with monitoring benign breast lumps began in July of 2020 when my OB-GYN found a lump. I was sent home with an ultrasound referral. I called immediately after I got home and asked for the soonest appointment at any location. I had a young son, and was absolutely terrified. They got me in at the end of the week. My husband was on vacation that week, and what should have been an enjoyable family time was plagued with worry. At the ultrasound appointment, they saw two small lumps. I was told these were “likely benign” and was given...

Black and white photo of older man in garden

I was never meant to be a plant person. I’m the woman who can kill a succulent on the way home from the store. Once, a fern sighed in my direction and gave up. That is my spiritual gift. My grandpa Dominic would have laughed—hard. He loved to laugh. And sing hymns passionately in Italian. He was an Italian immigrant who lost his arm working in a mill, and still, he woke up every morning and dressed like dignity itself. He shopped for my grandma. He fixed what was broken. And he tended the biggest, happiest garden you’ve ever seen....

Farewell To the Bus Stop Moms

In: Friendship

It seems like just yesterday I was writing a piece about my last baby going off to kindergarten. I poured my heart out into words about how she was going to find her place in the world, and how I was going to find a new sense of belonging. I wrote, “I was able to find a bit of ‘me’ again. She has barely left my side in almost six years, so her absence is still fresh and foreign. But I know her jubilant little self will be just fine. And just like that, she’s on her way. And so...

May is Maternal Mental Health Month, and So Many Moms Are Quietly Drowning

In: Living

I’ve given birth to four beautiful boys and lived through four postpartum experiences. Each one has been different, yet there are familiar threads that run through them all. In the first couple of weeks after my first baby was born, I felt carefree…until that bubble was popped. My newborn got sick and was admitted to the PICU at a children’s hospital 30 minutes from our home. At one point, doctors mentioned the possibility of meningitis, but after many tests and a several-day admission, we were sent home. When we were discharged, a doctor left me with these words, “It’s your...

The Hard Truth about Friendship in Your 40s

In: Friendship

No one can really prepare you for how much friendships change in your 40s. We expect life shifts—kids grow, schedules fill, jobs demand more, and aging parents need us in new ways. Time becomes tighter, priorities change, and naturally, friendships have to adjust. That part makes sense, right? But what doesn’t get talked about enough is the quiet, hard shift, the one where it’s not just time or distance creating friendship gaps, but something deeper. What happens when you look around your “table” and realize it no longer feels like a safe place to land? What happens when you start...

Sisterhood is So Special

In: Living

There’s something about sisterhood that’s so special. It’s having someone who’s seen every version of you—every awkward, messy, beautiful version—and loves you through it. Someone who holds a piece of your heart in a way nobody else can. Someone who remembers the little things that made you…you. And my sister? She’s that person for me. We couldn’t be more different. She’s extroverted, the life of the party, spontaneous, the more the merrier, always seeing the good in everything. I’m the cautious one, the loner, the guarded one, more comfortable sitting on the sidelines. I’ve always admired her and secretly wished...

No One Plans to Wear the “Scarlet Letter” of Divorce

In: Living, Marriage

Divorce often feels like the scarlet letter no one talks about. Some in our generation may call it “trendy”—particularly as women have become more independent and empowered—but whether it’s socially acceptable or not, it is still a label no woman enters marriage expecting to wear. Women are often self-sacrificing—sometimes to a fault. We give and give until our souls feel nearly drained. And in marriages marked by abuse, substance abuse, infidelity, inconsistency, or dishonesty, we still convince ourselves that if we just give a little more, love a little harder, try a little longer, something will change. Divorce is not...

Hannah Harper American Idol winner sings with her young son on her lap

By now, you’ve probably seen the posts flooding your feed: A young mom. Three little boys. A guitar strap embroidered with her children’s drawings. And a crown. When Hannah Harper won American Idol this week, moms everywhere erupted. And honestly? Same. There is something collective about watching a stay-at-home mom win on such a large stage. The celebrations have been pouring in. Moms, we can do it. She didn’t abandon her dreams. She went for it. And all of that is true, and all of that is worth celebrating. But I want to add something to the celebration. Not to...
