We all face the same problem year after year after year. What should we get Dad for [insert occasion here]? And it certainly doesn’t make things easier when he refuses to give you a single idea.
If you ask him, he’ll tell you he doesn’t want gifts—he just wants YOU to be happy. And while it’s a sweet (and much appreciated) sentiment, a little help with gift options would be nice.
In that spirit, I put together an extensive list of unique gift ideas ranging from tech, to clothes, to self-care products aimed at keeping the Dad in your life healthy, happy, and good looking for a long time to come.
