45 Great Father's Day Gifts for $50 or Less
Dad. He’s raised you, sheltered you from bullies and helped you handle life's curveballs. Remarkably, he's done it all without spending any money (basically) on himself—and he's perfectly okay with keeping it that way. Actually, he would strongly prefer keeping it that way. Hence, whenever you try to spend any amount of cash on him as a gift, it more often than not backfires because he thinks you're wasting your cash. What’s up with that?
Honestly, no one has the answer. Maybe it’s just dad, or maybe it’s the gift. Dad is known to be belligerently allergic to any big ticket item that he’ll just stash away in the safe. Which is why you should consider something unique and special that he'll actually groove on instead, so when he chides you again for spending too much on him, you can insist that "it’s really nothing" with a straight face, this time truthfully. We've garnered 45 cheap Father's Day gifts for dad, who lives by the sacredness of "it's the thought that counts."
