SAN DIEGO - Californer -- Father's Day is around the corner and whether it's your dad, grandpa, mentor or coach, it's a great time to celebrate what they mean to you. We'll highlight unique gift options ranging from tech to time together, and options that reflect dad's personality.

DIY MAKER DAD

From firing up the grill with personalized gear, to baseball and favorite hobbies with a fun twist, dads can get creative too and we love the idea of giving dad a Cricut. The Cricut Maker works with 300+ materials, including popular materials like vinyl, iron-on & cardstock — plus felt, acrylic, leather, matboard and more. And if dad or grandpa enjoys woodworking or other DIY projects the Cricut Maker is also a great gift idea for Fathers Day.

FAMILY PROTECTOR

Most Dad's feel part of their responsibility is to be a family protector, and that just got easier thanks to Vivint Smart Security Systems. Many people have asked, sure it's an alarm but what sets Vivint apart and what are the ways it can actually protect my family? All of Vivint products work together to connect your home—inside and out — it's a complete smart home. You can customize based on the needs of your family and connect everything to the Smart Hub in your home. The Vivint App provides for complete mobility and gives Dad that needed peace of mind that his wife, kids and house all have extra eyes watching.

TIME TOGETHER
A value cannot be placed on that of time spent together… which is why we love the idea of getting dad a gift card to his favorite restaurant to take the family out. Our top pick in San Diego is Jake's Del Mar.

We've spent many celebrations at Jake's from birthdays to anniversaries, and sometimes we go because we just want the vacation vibe that you get immediately when you set foot in the restaurant. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows with full ocean view, gorgeous sunsets, and literally dining beachfront keeps us coming back. Couple that with the staple Hula Pie — the macadamia nut ice cream stacked high on scrumptious chocolate cookie crust covered in hot fudge — let's just say your first slice won't be your last.

THE SPORT AND ADVENTURER

From walking the beach to boating, golf to going for a walk, dads everywhere love the sandals and sneakers from OluKai. It's Jason Kelce's favorite flip flop and this pro-NFL dad and other notables love the exclusive collaboration with Kahala aloha shirts too since they have been creating Hawai'i'an shirts since 1936! The Mea Ola is actually Jason Kelce's favorite sandal – you can catch him wearing them almost everyday!
