With Father’s Day right around the corner, you may be thinking of all the incredible dads in your life. Whether you’re thinking of your own biological father, a stepfather, an uncle, a grandfather, your child’s father, or someone who showed you love and care, this holiday is a special time to show appreciation for everything they have done. Father’s Day exists to celebrate all fathers and father figures, no matter what that looks like for your family. And, although all these dads may be completely different, there’s one thing they all have in common. They’re hard to shop for. Ask any dad what they want as a gift, and they’ll likely say “Nothing.” Why is this a universal experience? No idea. But, whether they’re unwrapping a tie, a bottle of wine, or a macaroni picture frame that’s been haphazardly glued by their child, the reaction is more or less the same. So, this Father’s Day, we’ve come up with the perfect gifts for every type of dad.
