70 Best Father’s Day Gifts for the Coolest Dad Around
He raised you right, didn’t he?
Here’s the thing about Dad: He might occasionally let some awkward dad jokes slip out, wear the occasional cringe-inducing T-shirt, or waste time muttering aloud to himself about the state of the world while scrolling through Apple News. But deep down, you know he’s a cool dad with great taste who’s probably ushered you into a life of drinking nice whiskey, toying with nifty gadgets, or stocking up on luxury accessories. So if you find yourself always coming up short in unique Father’s Day gift ideas to get Dad’s approving nod, this is the year that ends. We have the tools right here to help you finally switch things up this Father’s Day.
The trick is to get him a gift that’s as cool as it is thoughtful—it can even be a bit out-there, as long as it proves that his lessons haven’t gone un-ingested. Think a snazzy golf simulator, a deluxe pizza oven, a drone straight from the future. Whoever he is, there’s something for him.
