Eventually, dads reach a certain point in life when all we want as Father's Day gifts are special moments and experiences to make lasting memories with the ones we love.

While Dad will flip over any of the top gadgets for men, what he’ll cherish forever is the chance to learn a new skill, travel and have once-in-a-lifetime experiences, like taking a guided moonlight hike, driving a race car, zip lining through the trees and traveling the world each morning with a fresh cup of coffee and a story from faraway places.

Cameo Video Message

When I sold my book, my wife got me a Cameo from a Philadelphia Zoo zookeeper and a red panda, my favorite animal. It’s a charming keepsake experience I watch over and over when I’m feeling stressed and sad. If your dad has a favorite athlete, actor, musician or celeb (like the famous Times Square Naked Cowboy, for example, or wrestling Hall of Famer Kurt Angle) they may be on Cameo and will create a personal video message that he’ll love. Prices vary based on who is doing the Cameo.

Airbnb Walking Tours

I’ve done Airbnb Experience walking tours in Reykjavik and Athens, but there will be tours local to you in your closest city, too. Whether he loves cats, beer, food, ghost stories or history, there’s a walking tour experience gift for the dad in your life. Prices vary by tour, but they go as low as $15 and most stay under $100 per person.
