Parenting is its own reward, and you can’t put a price-tag on love. We get it. Everyone gets it. And yet, Father’s Day rolls around every year, and with it the pressure to find a gift for dad that he’ll actually appreciate, value, and put to use. Some guys are into tech. Others love themselves a fine whiskey. The best Father’s Day gifts tap into his passions and interests, or maybe turn him on to something new.
Gifts to Say Thanks for Always Being There
Whether you can’t speak face to face with your mom on Mother’s Day or want to give the mother of your children something special this year, send her a gift to say thanks for always being there, even if you can’t be together. Pandora Jewelry is something she can wear to be reminded of exactly how much we appreciate her.
“I think, as with any gift, it should be something special that the person might not ordinarily buy for themselves,” says gifting guru Ann Cantrell, owner of Annie’s Blue Ribbon in Brooklyn.
Chances are pretty good that you’ll be able to find something on this list that the husband or dad in your life will appreciate. Why? Because we pored over all the stuff (translation: garbage) out there and found gear that he’ll love, at a price you’ll like. Happy shopping.
