Father’s Day can be especially challenging if you have one of two dads: the one who has everything and the one who wants nothing. The dad who has everything is the kind of guy who is constantly grabbing what he needs or wants when he wants it, without waiting for holidays or anniversaries. Meanwhile, the dad who wants nothing insists he’s fine and doesn’t need gifts at all, even though he still wears those slippers he’s had since before you were born.
But you can’t just wave a white flag in these situations, you have to rise to the challenge. It means having to look beyond the typical Father’s Day gift suggestions to find things that are truly unique and even (dare we say it?) impractical and just for fun.
Don’t worry, you don’t have to tackle this challenge on your own. We’ve found some great gift ideas that think outside the box, and will ensure Father’s Day is special for both the fussiest and unfussiest of dads.
