59 Father’s Day Gifts for Dad Who Wants Nothing
When it comes to Father’s Day, many dads tend to respond with the following…
“Oh, nothing.”
Or “Whatever we did last year was fine.”
Or, my personal go to when my wife asks me, is to think of something practical rather than something I want.
(Yeah I’m lame)
Specific gift ideas for Father’s Day are hard to come by. I even wrote an entire blog post previously on why shopping for dads is so frickin’ hard.
This once a year challenge arises from the fact that while the role of our old man is evolving. Think about it, the traditional notion of being a provider rather than a receiver remains deeply ingrained. Dads today vs. the previous generations of fathers were expected to suppress their emotions and not expect gifts. Today, many dads find it challenging to express their gift preferences.
On the flip side, today’s fathers are breaking free from these constraints and are developing deeper emotional connections with their children. As a result, Father’s Day is gaining popularity as a gift-giving occasion and catching up to Mother’s Day.
The only hurdle is figuring out what to get for dad.
Which is why you’re here now! Look, whatever excuse your dad is giving you — just try to forget about it. You want to find something for him that you think he’ll enjoy, something he’d never want to buy for himself, something that will leave his jaw on the floor!
This list below of Father’s Day gift ideas for dads that want nothing is, while I won’t call it extensive, it does cover an array of interests and price ranges. It’s an ad hoc menu of things nearly any dad would say “whoa!” about.
Happy Father’s Day gift hunting!
