If your dad is anything like ours, then he's nearly impossible to shop for this Father's Day. Sure, he'll say, "I don't need anything," but secretly, he's craving something new and fun. With that in mind, we used our experience and knowledge to pull together a list of more than 40 gift ideas spanning various interests and budgets.
For the techie dad, pick up a pair of Sony headphones or Amazon Kindle e-reader. Outdoorsy dad will appreciate a Gerber multi-tool customized by you or a high-end camping chair from Yeti. Chef dad will cook up a storm when you get him an Ooni pizza oven or a set of Lodge cast-iron cookware from Lodge. And, kid-at-heart dad will have hours of fun building a Lego retro radio or practicing his putt on a miniature green. But, whatever your dad is into, there is sure to be something on our Father's Day wishlist that will make his eyes light up.
