Gifts for the Masonic Dad
Something for the grill or the glass. Father · Brother · Mason, in that order.
Father’s Day is the one Masonic gift occasion that belongs to the family rather than the Lodge, and the gifts are lighter for it. The Masonic Dad tee and hoodie say Father · Brother · Mason under the emblem, and the grilling apron finishes the set for the man at the grill. Together they are the Masonic Dad Set, priced below the three apart.
If he has the shirts already, go to the glass. The personalized whiskey glass with his name and Lodge number is the one to give when you want something that is his and nobody else’s. The copper tumbler goes to work with him, the frosted beer mug stays at home, and the doormat is the gift for the Dad whose house is the Lodge’s unofficial second meeting place.

Birthdays
The same list works for a birthday, with one difference: a birthday is the occasion for the larger pieces. The personalized charcuterie board, engraved with his name and Lodge, is the birthday gift for the Dad who hosts. The wall clock and framed art are for the Dad whose study is finally getting furnished. For a milestone birthday, the Festive Board Set of three engraved glasses is the parcel.
Christmas
December has its own page. The Masonic Christmas page has the crystal, metal and ceramic ornaments, the Fair Isle stocking and tree skirt, the wrapping paper, and the ugly Christmas sweater he will wear to the Lodge party on purpose. The stocking stuffers are the socks, the flask and the keychain. Order the sweater first; it is made in his size and takes the longest.
A note on the shirts
The Masonic Dad pieces are appropriate for any Mason who is a father. The Past Master and Worshipful Master shirts are not; those name an office he has to have held. If Dad has sat in the East, the Past Master page has his shirts. Most pieces are made and shipped in the United States, and each Etsy listing shows its processing time, so order a couple of weeks ahead of the day.
Before you order
What size hoodie should I order?
The fleece hoodies run a little roomy. If he is between sizes, take the larger; if he wears a fitted look, take his usual size. Each listing has a measured size chart.
Can the apron be personalized?
The apron carries the emblem only. For his name, choose the personalized whiskey glass or charcuterie board on the Personalized page.
Is it appropriate for children to give Masonic gifts?
Yes. Nothing on this page requires the giver to be a Mason, and a Brother is glad to receive a piece from his family. Only avoid shirts that name an office he has not held.
Is Meet Upon The Level connected to a Grand Lodge?
No. Meet Upon The Level is an independent shop run by a Freemason for Brethren and their families. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any Grand Lodge, and every order is placed and paid for through Etsy.
