9 Father's Day Gifts for Dads Who Want Nothing
Or, put another way, “9 Father's Day Gifts for Dads Who Think They Have Everything (But Don’t).”
May 23, 2024
While Mother’s Day has its timeless standby gifts of flowers and candy with a heartfelt card, Father’s Day is a tougher parental holiday to gift for. Plenty of fantastic and well-deserving dads already have man caves, garages, and offices packed to the brim with necessities, collectibles, and other random doodads that men just can’t seem to get rid of.
Then there are those dads who have kept their personal space free of clutter on purpose (often at mom’s request). Come Father’s Day, these are the guys who say they don’t really need anything. (The common refrain you’ll hear from them is: “Having you as a kid is a gift in itself!”)
Well, then, these dads must never have seen, heard of, or imagined these nine gifts. They’re the type of surprises guaranteed to please any deserving pop who wasn’t expecting a present this Father’s Day (which, this year, is June 15, by the way).
