It’s Dad’s Day, But You Don’t Know What to Get Him

Father’s Day is one of the hardest days of the year to shop for. Even if you and your dad are best friends, it seems like a dad is an impossible thing to shop for. If your dad is anything like mine, you have no idea what you can get him and no list you can find ever has quite the right thing. Luckily, because I have an impossible dad, I’ve also got a few great ideas about what to get other dads. This list has a little bit of everything so you can treat your papa, dad, pops, or father to the best gift possible.
