There’s no denying that shopping for dads can be tough—especially when it comes to picking out a Father’s Day gift that encapsulates how much you appreciate him. He’s already got many (so many) ties he doesn’t wear, and it’s time to accept that very few people actually want, or will use, a fountain pen.
Instead of getting your partner, parent, or friend with kids another present that’ll end up collecting dust in the back of his closet—or worse, getting returned—it’s time to start seriously considering his interests, hobbies, and the things he probably needs but would never buy himself.
If you don’t know where to start looking for that perfect present, we have you covered. From rugged everyday tools to gaming essentials and so much in between, these are our top picks for the best Father’s Day gifts this year.
