Mom is happy with brunch and flowers, but buying gifts for Dad’s Day can be such a pain. Most of the stuff he really wants is beyond reach (in-ground pool, Porsche Boxter), or he’s gotten it already (power tools, 45-inch flat screen). Luckily, we’ve nailed a few cool items that will show your undying love and respect.
 |
Beer O’Clock Gift Set ($15.99, Perpetual Kid): Help Dad put his years of beer appreciation to the test with this gift set, which includes quiz cards, a bottle opener, and tasting notes. |
 |
Portland General Store Hand Cream ($16, Terrain): Just because he can put together a tree house doesn’t mean he enjoys calluses. This wood-scented cream makes moisturizing masculine (for once). |
 |
Handy Dad ($15, Uncommon Goods):With all of the technology around us, it’s hard for new dads not to default to an afternoon of video games with the kids. This book provides 25 hands-on projects for kids and dads to work on together. |
 |
Cast Iron Tool Bottle Openers ($24, Uncommon Goods): Your father gave you your first sip of beer and your first tool kit. Honor those milestones efficiently with bottle openers that look like tools. |
 |
Grady’s Cold Brew (2 bottles for $45, Grady’s): He’s sipped six cups a day since the Carter Administration, but you can still knock his socks off with this home-brewed New Orleans-style coffee concentrate. Perfect for a summer morning (or afternoon). |
Tis better to give. What's the best gift you ever gave for Father's Day?
