From Dads To Fathers-In-Law, 12 Thoughtful Gifts For Men Who Already Have It All

The father figures in our lives can be among the hardest to shop for. Whether they’re into living simply, insist they don’t need anything, or buy every dang thing they want for themselves, you’ve likely exhausted your gift list at this point. My dad happens to check that “all of the above” box here, and there are only so many hardware store gift cards one man can misplace — or forget to bring to the store whenever he goes (love you, Dad!).

But in true fatherhood fashion, the guy has always been there for me. And I do mean always, from the days of teaching me to ride a two-wheeler and rushing me to the ER when I skidded out on sand and needed stitches, to sitting through four-hour dance recitals to watch me stand frozen on stage for a collective two minutes. There have been father-daughter dances, broken hearts, graduations, way too many second and third-floor moves to count, and a never-ending stream of DIY home repairs. For all of the laughs and non-stop love he’s shown me and now my children, I want to treat him to something special (that he’ll actually use).

Luckily, we’ve teamed up with the gifting pros at Sunglass Hut to deliver fool-proof ideas for every dad to love. From the wear-them-everywhere to the didn’t-even-know-this-existed, go ahead and take full credit for whichever great gift you choose. We won’t tell!
