Most fathers will insist that they don’t want anything (please also see gifts for husbands), which makes finding the best gift for Dad a notoriously tough task. Sure, there’s always a place for the cheesy dad-joke books, Star Wars memorabilia, and beard trimmers, but we’re daring you to dream up something more unique for Christmas, birthday, anniversary, and Father’s Day gift ideas this year.
The easiest way to pick the perfect present (and by extension, gifts for all the men in your life) is to think practically about what he’ll find useful. Whether it’s running shoes to replace the pair he’s worn for the past decade, a piece of tech that turns out the perfect toast, or a foot massager to help a new dad enjoy some serious relaxation after a day of chasing after toddlers, we bet he could use an upgrade. These are the absolute best gifts for Dad—even the ones who have everything.
