Life
Father's Day is right around the corner, and with it comes another bout of gifting struggle anxiety. I'm often clueless on what to get my dad for Father's Day, mainly because he literally has everything. Even when I think I've found a good gift for him, by the time I'm ready to purchase it, my mom calls to tell me he's already bought it for himself. So, to avoid all the stress and possibility of buying something he already has, I'm considering purchasing a subscription boxes for Father's Day.
I've recently realized that subscription boxes are an easy way to find a great gift without overexerting yourself. Not to mention, giving a gift that lasts far past Father's Day allows me to celebrate my dad year-round. Since my dad is a man of few words, it's difficult to really pinpoint what his interests are outside of sports. By giving him a subscription box as a gift, it'll give him a variety of things to choose from and cover all my bases. It could also introduce him to a new interest that he wasn't aware he had.
Not sure what subscription boxes have options for dads? Here are 13 you can consider for this Father's Day.
