Dads are notoriously difficult to buy for.  You may get lucky and have a few good ideas, but Father’s Day comes around pretty quickly every year, so running out of gift ideas is inevitable. Help yourself out and start a collection for your dad for their Father’s Day gift. There are so many fun and interesting collectibles that it won’t take long to find something that your father will enjoy collecting.  Plus, you will have a go-to gift for him for every Father’s Day to build his collection.

Don’t know where to start?  You’ve come to the right place.  Below, we describe some of the best Father’s Day collections.  Use this article to give yourself some ideas and get that collection started!

  1. Goat Guns

Have a father that’s into shooting or hunting? Perhaps the coolest collectible for him would be Goat Guns.  Goat Guns are miniature die cast models of real firearms. They are 1:3 size models that are made from actual metal and are between 4 and 15 inches long.  These replicas are incredibly realistic and have some weight to them, so they’re not flimsy or easily breakable. The best part about Goat Guns is that they require assembly.  Not only does this give your dad something to collect, but it gives him something to do as well!  This idea allows him to build and display his own miniature weapon collection. 

  1. Ties

If you have a father who has to wear suits for work everyday, then a tie collection would be a great thing to start for him.  Ties allow you to customize your suit a little more and make it feel more unique. Ties are a great thing to collect because there are a wide range of designs and patterns.  There are simple, single color ties, patterned, or even funny ties with cartoons or other fun designs on them.  Your father can collect the type of tie that best fits his personality, and his needs for work.  Once his collection gets large, you can even start adding things like tie clips or cuff links to the group.

Every guy has his favorite sports team, so why not start a sports memorabilia collection for your father?  He can collect clothing, pennants, hats, jerseys-anything that reminds him of his team. If he has a man cave, this collection can be displayed proudly. If you have a larger budget to work with, or other siblings to pool money with, you can search for autographed jerseys or balls for his collection to make things even more special. 

  1. Fishing Lures

For the avid angler, start a collection of unique fishing lures.  Fishing lure collecting is less about finding lures to use and more about preserving vintage and antique lures.  However, a collection of more modern lures allows your father to actually use his supply, so it will bring him joy in multiple ways.  If he really gets into it, there are catalogs and lure shops that specifically cater to collectors. They can usually be found pretty easily while pursuing antique stores as well.
