SALT LAKE CITY — Expressing your love for dad by way of a gift is a time-honored tradition of Father’s Day. If you’ve graduated from the homemade coupon books stage of life, but still aren’t sure what to give, here are some local ideas for a range of interests and budgets.

1. Food: Rated “Best Steak House” by City Weekly, Fleming’s, in downtown Salt Lake offers a $25 gift card for fathers, along with brunch and a special prime rib dinner.

2. Tech:FiftyThree has a pencil ($74) that allows you to write electronically through their app to sketch, erase and edit like you would with a normal pencil and paper. And when it’s turned off, it makes a great stylus.

3. Getaway: Heading to Southern Utah for hiking or golfing or just enjoying the scenery makes for a quick and memorable getaway. Send Dad to any of the Mighty 5 for a uniquely Utah weekend away.

4. Sports: Take dad to a Salt Lake Bees (tickets from $8) or Real Salt Lake (tickets from $25) game, where you can get snacks and cheer on local athletes.

5. Apparel: Take the traditional tie gift to the next level with Swipe Ties. Made with a special microfiber cloth, they are designed to be used as a wipe for smartphone and tablet screens to eliminate fingerprints and improve clarity.

6. Relax: The Waldorf Astoria Park City has a special Father’s Day package that starts with a glass of High West Whiskey, continues with a close straight-razor shave, mini facial and a neck and shoulder rub. Price is $75 for 50 minutes.

7. Experience: The Utah Olympic Park has thrill rides you won’t find in an amusement park. Bobsled, ziplines and an Alpine slide are all part of the fun. Prices from $15.

8. Luxury: A new watch is always a good way to keep Dad running on time. Try a Nordstrom watch starting from $50.

9. Adventure: River rafting on the Provo River is an excellent way to get your feet wet in the world of whitewater rafting. The trips are only a few hours and excellent for rafters of all ages.

10. Art and Music: Take Dad to see an outdoor concert. From Beck to The Avett Brothers to the Utah Symphony, there are options for music lovers of any taste.
