30 Father’s Day Gifts Dads Actually Want & Will Use!
MAED EDITORS
Let’s be honest Father’s day gifts are hard to shop for! They’re more drawn to practical and useful items when shopping, and typically don’t see the need to have multiples of many things (unlike your everyday female). The father figures in your life, whether it’s your dad, husband, brother, or uncle more than likely don’t switch out their wallet every few days to match their outfit, and we’d be willing to bet that whenever you ask them what they want for a gift, they almost always tend to respond with one of these three statements: “I don’t need anything,” “I don’t want anything,” or “You don’t have to buy me a gift.” On top of all that, they tend to drop zero clues which makes gift giving extra hard.
All that to say, the perfect gift for the dad(s) in your life is one they’ll actually use but more than that, one that might just impress them. Because men tend to love practicality, we came up with 30 practical gifts with a twist for any dad in your life. If he’s into grilling, what about an indoor smokeless grill for when the weather is dampening his outdoor grilling plans? Maybe he’s a runner or jogger and could use some high-tech sunglasses with built-in Bluetooth. Or maybe he’s into skin care but doesn’t know where to start—we’ve got a suggestion for that, too. Check out the full list below and don’t forget to include a card with a personal note (always a winner, no matter what)! Add these Father’s day gifts to your gift arsenal.
