If you’re unsure what to gift the father figure in your life this year, we have more than a few suggestions. Dads are known for a lot of things — corny jokes, falling asleep on the couch, owning far too many pairs of New Balance sneakers — but being easy to please isn’t always at the top of that list. At no point is this more evident than during the holidays, when gift-giving is at its peak and time is in limited supply.
But you don’t have to worry if you’re struggling to find inspiration this year. We’ve gone ahead and amassed an eclectic collection of gifts that should appeal to all types of dads, from the aspiring marathoner and science fiction aficionado to the wannabe grill master hell-bent on perfecting his burger skills. We’ve also included a range of picks for adventurer seekers and music lovers as well as multiple board games for the dad who prefers an old-fashioned whooping over another round of Mario Kart or Fortnite. Just try not to crush his spirits completely if you can help it — he’s still your dad, after all.
