Father's Day Gifts from a Brother

He's a husband, he's a dad, and he's also your brother. But even though you grew up together, it's not always easy to pick out a Father's Day gift he will really like. Here are just a few ideas for gifts that dads like that you might find helpful.

Gifts for Hanging Out

Talking Grill Thermometer. This might be the coolest gift ever for dads who like to barbecue thick cuts of meat or fish. All he has to do is insert the wireless sensor into the meat, set the doneness level, and when it's perfectly cooked the thermometer makes an announcement by voice or audio signal. Now that's how a barbecue king does it!

Leather Beer Holster. This is a very popular gift for dads who like to grill or tailgate with a cold one at their fingertips. Look for a beer holster that easily snaps onto his belt and has an adjustable thigh strap to keep his favorite brew safely secured in the holster.

Personalized Pub Sign. Whether he hangs it in his home, garage or office, a sports-themed pub sign celebrates dad's personal space. Look for hand-painted wooden signs that can be customized with his name or nickname. This makes a welcome gift for any dad who loves football, baseball, basketball, billiards or golf.

Gifts for Working Dads

Desktop Globe. It's hard to take your eyes off this high tech gift for Father's home or office. The shiny globe floats in the air thanks to the magic of a powerful plug-in magnetic stand. This is a cool gift not just for dad but also for anyone who could use a little distraction from work or studying.

Hanging Travel Case. Hanging toiletries cases are more practical than a traditional Dopp kit for dads who travel or shower after a workout. You can find them made of nylon or leather, with plenty of pockets to keep his products organized, plus a hook to hang up the open case for easy access to everything he needs.

Personalized Card Holder. To help dad keeps his business cards safe and easy to retrieve with a touch of a button, a sturdy leather business card holder makes a great gift. Look for card holders that can be embossed with his initials for an extra touch of personal style.

Gifts for Golfing Dads

Monogrammed golf club links. Lightweight aluminum links fit on top of the club handle to personalize it with dad's name, phone number and even a monogram. This is a classy gift that also helps him keep track of his clubs.

Framed "The Original Rules of Golf". People had been playing golf for over 300 years before a group of Scottish players drafted the game's official rules in 1744. Giving Dad an elegant framed copy of the official game rules easily establishes him as the reigning expert on golfing history.

Golf-Themed Cooler. A personalized, golf-themed beverage cooler helps dad stay refreshed out on the course. Look for a cooler that clips securely to his golf cart or bag and has side pockets to hold his golf balls, keys, and cell phone.

Finding a unique gift that Dad will really like isn't all that hard. After all, how many people know him as well as his own brother?
