Tomorrow is Fathers Day reserved most especially for the first man in our lives—our dads. It’s only fitting to give our undivided attention to them: that means the barrage of greetings, and the presents.
In case you’re drawing a blank on what to give him, it’s safe to say you’re not alone, and there are plenty of options. With only a couple of hours left, the only way to narrow it down is to basically figure out exactly what he’s into, what he’s not into, and sometimes, what he might need.
We got some ideas.
For the Fashion Forward Dad
Spruce up your dad’s wardrobe choices by slowly adding pops of color. There’s also no reason to compromise comfort. Introduce him to clothing items that offer just that. Dads are always on the go so opt for pieces that provide him both comfort and style. You’ll know he liked what you picked out if it’s not hanging in the closet for longer periods of time.

When in Doubt, Turn to Food
If this isn’t a sure fire way to win him over on his special day, we don’t know what will. If the plan is to have dinner at home to avoid the constant search of which restaurant to dine at—and more importantly prioritizing safety, of course—make sure you have whipped his favorite, or something special, something he hasn’t tried before. Just take note of his food allergies and you’re good.

Tech is Best
There are so many gadgets to choose from so you’ll have to really do your research. Do your research not only about the gadget in question, but more importantly, what your dad really wants and/or needs. Does he need new earphones? Does he want to play video games? What does he want?

Self-care, Even When He Says He Doesn’t
Gift him with skin care products that will not only do wonders to his skin, but also highlight the importance of self-care. After all, Rest and relaxation isn’t always just sitting on the couch and catching the game.

A Little Something Extra
Thinking outside the box doesn’t always mean going all out. Every dad is different so the best way to surprise him is to be creative, and not stick to the usual gifts that he gets. For all you know, by giving him a gift that you would never think to give him, it might introduce him to something he could eventually like; or something he could start a collection with.

When it comes to gift giving, the possibilities are endless, even for dads. And if they’re not jumping up and down with your present, don’t forget they’re trying to be all tough about it when really, their hearts are melting because you went out of your way to make this day special for them.
