Plus it’s both durable and stylish so dad can keep track and keep up, from the boardroom to the boat.
The Gift: Personal Organizer Set
Why He Will Love It: His favorite saying is, “If you’re not early, you’re late.” For the guy who never misses an appointment, knows the birthdays of all the neighbors and wants to keep track of all the local events and happenings, we recommend this classic leather planner. He can make notes about all the local happenings with this stylish ledger.
The Gift: Wolverine 7-in-1 Film to Digital Converter

For the dad who knows where everything is because that’s where it belongs (and for heaven’s sake, don’t move it!) we recommend this incredible gadget that converts most films into digital files and automatically archives them. Preserving the past has never been so futuristic nor so compact.
The Gift: Cutlery Block
Why He Will Love It: Has your father ever made a dish that had the word “surprise” in the name? That’s the hallmark of a man with a passion for food. For dads who could give Gordon Ramsay a run for his money, we recommend this 13-slot Cutlery Block by KitchenAid. This cutlery storage block helps keep his most frequently used knives sharp and close at hand.
The Gift: Milky Way Wall Map
Why He Will Love It: For a dad who never really got over not becoming an astronaut, we recommend this laminated wall map of the Milky Way from National Geographic Store.

Who says Father’s Day gifts can’t blow your mind?

The Gift: Leatherman Crunch Multi-Tool
Why He Will Love It: If your dad loves to fix things up instead of throw them out, we recommend the only multi-tool on the market with locking pliers from the trusted Leatherman brand. It has every tool a tinkerer could ever want in one pocket-sized package. Plus, it looks like something Chuck Norris would use.
The Gift: Bootlegger Bourbon Gift Box
Why He Will Love It: His idea of unwinding at the end of a long day might include a comfy chair, the remote control, a libation and a tasty snack. That’s all the man needs for a recharge. He probably already has the chair and remote covered so fill in the blanks with this scrumptious gift box, complete with roasted cashews, toffee peanuts and mocha lentils. Sometimes the best Father’s Day gifts are simply delicious.
Dads don’t get nearly enough credit. They’re more than just a baseball in the backyard or a socket wrench in the garage. While no greeting card on the rack may be able to accurately depict the love you have for the man, that doesn’t mean you won’t spend this Father’s Day making every attempt to harness your love and appreciation into the perfect gifts for dad. If you have no idea where to shop for Father’s Day gifts, allow us to point you in the right direction.
