10 Father's Day Handmade Gift Ideas Under $20 on Etsy

Lyn McCallister
If you are looking for a unique, handmade gift for your dad, grandfather, or husband for Father's Day this year but do not have the time to make something, check out this handy Etsy gift list. Etsy is a great online resource for all things handmade. The website even has a section where you can request custom items and receive bids from various sellers. Since these items are handcrafted, be sure to place your order a few weeks before you celebrate dad's day to allow enough time for the artisan to create your gift.

1. Intrigue Bath offers great shaving sets complete with mug, brush, and your choice of shaving soap for about $15. Shaving soap refills are also available if your dad already has a mug and brush or if you want to order him extras. The refills are $5.50 each.

2. For the wine lover, Tamarack Ridge Woodworks has some beautifully hand turned wooden wine stoppers for just under $17. These wine stoppers are an elegant yet functional gift available in a variety of woods.

3. Every dad needs a key chain. Your kids can give dad a hand stamped metal key chain with the words, "We Love Daddy." These key chains range from $8 to $12, depending on custom text from Emilina Ballerina.

4. Iron Oaks Farms has unique, hand-forged steel beer bottle openers. Choose from a variety of masculine styles from $16 to $20.

5. For guys who enjoy the outdoors but still need to wear a tie at work, consider giving a wildlife tie tack made from antiqued pewter. These tie tacks are available from Make It for $17.

6. For about $10, you can buy dad a personalized golf ball marker in sterling silver. These handsome markers come with a gift tin and are made by E. Ria Designs.

7. Create a custom super dad or grandpa t-shirt with the kids' names for $18. Choose from a short sleeve or long sleeve at MyPersonalizedTShirt.

8. Help decorate his office or den with a hand painted sign from Old Glory Soldiers. This store has a section of signs just for guys ranging from baseball to fishing to whiskey. Signs start at $9.95.

9. Guys like chocolate too! If your dad enjoys chocolate, why not give him some decadent truffles or delicious brownies? Denise's Delectables has offerings such as 9 Irish Whiskey Truffles for $19.99 or 9 Guinness Brownies for $14.95. Yum!

10. For the dad who loves fishing, consider buying several colorful fishing lures to add to his collection. Starting at just $1.25, Chicken Hawk Lures has a good selection of lures or will list a custom package for you.
