Father’s Day Gifts That Are Perfect for Even the Hardest to Shop for Dads
We’re here to help you pick out the perfect gift for all the father figures in your life for Sunday, June 19.

The traditional Father's Day gifts are, by now, terrifically cliché, as is the general concept that dads as a group are difficult to shop for. Shoehorning fathers into a group that only wants power tools and grilling accessories, doesn't take into consideration the full breadth of interests that your particular father might have. While (almost) everyone can appreciate the kitsch appeal of a "Kiss the Chef" apron or golf club covers that resemble an Australian shepherd, please know that there are better options that are just as fun. Consider some of these thoughtful and unexpected gifts, meant to please even the most persnickety of papas.
