You know what they say — better late than never … unless you’re pouring concrete. If you’ve procrastinated on finding a gift for Dad, don’t sweat it (he’s already doing plenty of that on the jobsite). Just because you’re cutting it close doesn’t mean you have to settle for another “World’s Best Dad” mug or a pair of novelty socks he’ll pretend to love.
Instead, grab a gift that’ll actually measure up? From noise-cancelling headphones that drown out power tools (and bad dad jokes), to comfort items for the home and jobsite, these picks will make him think you were planning for weeks. Let’s hammer this list out before time runs out — chop chop! And don’t worry, we’ve got a solution if those gifts don’t get to Dad on time.
1. Neckband Bluetooth headphones
Help him block out the drone of engines, power tools and chatty coworkers with his favorite tunes. Perfect for breaks, commuting or those rare quiet moments when he’s not surrounded by jobsite chaos.
2. Insulated stainless steel water bottle
Keeps coffee hot during chilly morning starts and water ice-cold during long afternoons in the sun. Built tough to survive being tossed in the truck or dropped on the site.
3. ANSI Z87 certified safety sunglasses
Protect those eyes without sacrificing comfort or style. Impact-resistant, glare-reducing, and ready for everything from demo work to road crews.
4. Stainless steel can/bottle cooler holder
Whether it’s a cold one after work or an energy drink during the day, this cooler keeps cans cold for hours — even when working under the summer sun.
5. Bluetooth meat thermometer
After building all week, the backyard becomes the next jobsite — but with better food. Grilling gadgets help level up those weekend cookouts.
6. Portable heated lunch box
Cold sandwiches are fine … for amateurs. Plug this into the truck or jobsite outlet and enjoy a hot meal wherever you are. Perfect for long shifts and winter workdays.
7. Massage Gun
After a long day of lifting, hauling and climbing, this helps loosen up stiff muscles and keep you ready for the next shift.
Tips for Fast Shipping and Local Pickup
There are a few ways to try to secure the package before the big day June 15. First, if you found the perfect gift at an online store, like Dick’s, Lowe’s, Best Buy, etc., check the website for local store pickup. If you’re lucky, your store may have it ready today. If you found the perfect gift on the all mighty Amazon, shell out some extra dough for expedited shipping, especially if you’re a Prime member. Finally, a digital gift is always an easy and quick way to get the job done. Does your dad have a favorite restaurant or store? What about a favorite performer coming into town in a couple of months? Check out gift cards and concert or event tickets for a fast and simple solution.

Alright, alright. I’ll help you out here. What can I say? I’m a softie when it comes to family. Below, you will find a lovely “IOU” coupon to fill out for Dad, so he knows what he’s got on the way. Just take a quick screenshot of the image on your computer or phone and send it to a local printer.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, and father figures in your life!
