The Best Father’s Day Flowers for the Dad Who Has Everything

We get it: flowers aren’t a typical choice when it comes to a Father’s Day gift. However, even dads deserve to get flowers, especially when you have a dad who has… everything else!

Many dads tend to pick up the things they want as they need them. This makes them particularly tricky to shop for, and trying to find floral options for them can be intimidating. How do you choose Father’s Day flowers for the dad who has everything?

Luckily for you, Forest of Flowers is an expert when it comes to creating holiday floral gifts for your loved ones.

We’ll offer you everything from the types of flowers Dad loves to add-ons to include with your Father’s Day arrangement!

The Best Father’s Day Flowers for the Dad Who Has Everything

Mom likes roses. Grandma loves peonies. Your cousin Christine loves daisies! But… what about Dad? Unless he’s a gardener, it’s not highly likely you’ve had too many conversations with your pops about what flowers he likes, as the consensus is flowers are predominantly a gift for the women in your life.

But floral arrangements and hand-tied bouquets are actually universal gifts for everyone! Doesn’t matter your age or gender, flowers are suited for everyone who has lived a life. Flowers, after all, hold intrinsic meaning that transcends even our assumptions.

Let’s go through some awesome flowers you can choose for the dad who has everything! As well as some extras.

Everything in Blue

If you’re not entirely sure about what flowers your dad will enjoy, you may want to opt for blue flowers. Some blue flowers are naturally occurring, but some flowers are sprayed or dyed to match a certain colour. Blue is a popular colour when it comes to celebrating boys! And, blue flowers just so happened to be rare, beautiful, and super cool! Here are some options to consider:

Naturally Occurring Blue Flowers in Ontario

• Bluebells

• Chicory

• Forget-Me-Nots

• Wild Blue Flax

• Virginia Bluebells

Flowers that Can Be Naturally Dyed or Sprayed

• Roses

• Carnations

• Daisies

• Baby’s Breath

• Chrysanthemums

Consult your local florist to explore customization options for your Father's Day arrangement or bouquet. Check out our Cool Blue Hydrangea and Lily Arrangement for an example.

Long-Lasting and Easy to Care For

If you’ve never bought flowers for Dad before, it may be good to opt for something like a dish garden, succulent, cactus, or house plant. To keep flowers fresh, they need to be cut and have the water changed every other day. For some dads (but certainly not the green thumb dad!) that may be a lot of maintenance.

Dish gardens and other house plants do require care but will last longer and likely require less maintenance than an arrangement or bouquet. This also makes it a more permanent fixture that Dad can enjoy for the near future.

Plus, what dad doesn’t want to brag about their kid when someone sees their fancy dish garden on their desk? Check out our Large Tropical Planter featuring Anthurium.

When in Doubt, Opt for Roses!

Different coloured roses have different forms of symbolism and offer a timeless classic option when choosing flowers for Dad. Not only this, but roses are easy to hang and dry, making them a long-lasting option for Dad to keep in the long-term.

Not sure what colours to pick? Don’t worry, we got you covered on that front, too:

• Red Roses: Symbolize deep love, respect, and admiration. ​
• White Roses: Represent purity, honor, and remembrance. ​
• Yellow Roses: Convey joy, warmth, and friendship. ​
• Orange Roses: Express enthusiasm, fascination, and admiration. ​
• Pink Roses: Denote gratitude, appreciation, and admiration.

What’s more? You can mix and match! You can include a breakdown in a sweet card and make a bouquet or arrangement unique to Dad. Such as our One Dozen Coloured Roses.

Choose a Unique Receptacle

If you want to buy a beautiful hand-tied bouquet as a Father’s Day gift, you can choose a unique receptacle to put them in! Think of a car-shaped or baseball shaped vase, or a vase in Dad’s favourite colour like red, blue, or green! You can even find vases shaped like boats!

Here is a full list of uniquely shaped vases for dad:

• Sports-Themed Vases: Shaped like baseballs, footballs, or golf bags.

• Toolbox Vases: A miniature toolbox doubling as a vase.

• Mug Vases: Dad’s favorite coffee mug filled with flowers.

• Grill Master Vase: A small barbecue-inspired design.

• Tie-Shaped Vase: A playful nod to classic Father’s Day gifts.

• Beer Stein Vase: A quirky option for beer-loving dads.

• Rustic Wooden Box: A rugged, masculine touch.

Additional Gifts to Add to Father’s Day Flowers

OK, let’s say we’ve finally chosen flowers for your dad, that’s the main event secured. You can add several additional gifts to make it extra special. But, what do you get for the dad who has everything? No worries, we got some unique gift ideas you can include with your Father’s Day flowers.

• Jerky Sample Package: For the dad that always needs a snack or is regularly on the road, a jerky sample package is a great option! Also, you have a lot of options: from low-sodium, beef, turkey, and even vegan jerky. A sample package gives Dad a chance to try new things and have a convenient option when hunger strikes!
• Gourmet Chocolate Or Artisanal Candy: Perfect for the dad who has a sweet-tooth, gourmet chocolate or artisanal candy is an excellent choice. Plus, this adds a little luxury for the dad who, perhaps, was never the type to buy himself fancy things. This is a sweet way to show your dad you care while giving him a delicious treat.
• Bottle of Wine or Craft Beer: For the dad who enjoys a drink on the weekends or while taking control of the grill, a bottle of wine or a six-pack of craft beer could be a powerful addition to Father’s Day flowers.
• Candle with Masculine Scents: Hey, dads like candles, too! But rather than opting for scents like “cherry smoothie” or “champagne and petals,” you can choose more masculine scents like cedarwood, leather, amber, cologne, etc. When Dad needs to wind down and enjoy a bit of candle time, he’ll be happy to know that he has something that suits his preferences.
• Custom Coffee Mug or Travel Tumbler: Every dad needs a favourite mug! But you can also get modern with it and choose a customized travel tumbler. You can include a witty design or a dad-themed slogan, such as: “Papa’s Perk-up Potion,” or “Latte Love for Dad.”
• Barbecue Sauce/Spice Sets: A grill master needs a little sauce and a little spice. If you have a dad that loves the thrill of the grill, getting a unique set of barbecue sauces or spices can add a little smoke to Saturday cookouts. Yummy, yummy!
• Pair of Fun or Themed Socks: Did your dad ever lose socks constantly as a kid? Some of us have. Either way, what dad could ever deny a funny-themed pair of socks? From socks with beer bottles or Superman logos, this is a quirky gift for the dad who loves to have a little style.
• Photo Frame with a Family Picture: Sentimental dads are the best. Most of us have those dads who always have a photo of their children or families in their wallets. Giving Dad a special framed picture of the family for your dad, maybe with a sweet message written on the back.
• Helium Balloons: A classic option to give Father’s Day flowers that extra “oomph,” tying some themed or classic helium balloons take flowers to the next level. Around this time, plenty of local flower shops have Father’s Day themed flowers.

Check out the gift section of Forest of Flowers for more gift ideas for dad!

• Sports Memorabilia: We have to mention this… dads (not all dads, but many) love sports. Getting a jersey of Dad’s favourite team or a signed baseball from dad’s favourite pitcher, sports memorabilia is a good option for that sporty dad.
• Gift Cards: For a dad who truly has everything, sticking a gift card into a bouquet or arrangement is a welcomed gift. This way, Dad can decide when and where he wants to cash-in your present, choosing something you know he actually wants.
