Wow. Dads are really great, right? They tell all sorts of terrible jokes and they just want the best for you. And after all they have done (and continue) to do for you, from childhood to adulthood, they deserve the best of the best, 24/7. So, with the holidays coming up soon (seriously, they sneak up on you fast!), you'll want to make sure they feel extra loved with super-thoughtful gifts.
We know, dads can be hard to shop for—why do they never seem to want anything??? It's so easy to put a ton of pressure on yourself to pick out that perfect gift, but it shouldn’t be too hard for you because you’ve landed here! (*Smirk.*) Whether you're near or far you can make their day by gifting them something super special or even something practical...or totally goofy. Maybe he'll use it every day or maybe he'll just break it out for family game night, but either way, be prepared to feel the love when your dad opens one of the 54 amazing gift ideas below.
