"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
Dad says he's already got it all. That just your devoted love and attention is enough of a gift for him—but that's no fun. You gotta get creative with gifts for the old man. What's he into? Maybe he wants to test out some cool gadgets or plan that Scotland trip to see his favorite whisky distilleries. Maybe he lives a sophisticated secret life that demands gifts of luxury. Maybe he keeps things simple: good food, good beer, and weekend around the house with the family.
In any situation, try thinking outside the box. We'll get you started. The following are 67 unique gifts for dad who wants nothing. Consider all unsolicited gift shopping complete.

Deluxe Lunch Cooler Bag
Slim enough to take his lunch to work. Big enough to take a sandwich and a six-pack fishing. He'll have this with him every day of the week.
Rambler Beverage Bucket
YETI's world-class cooler tech has been turned used to make a world-class beverage bucket. Dad can keep his bottles on display and keep them cold. Plus, YETI's seasonal color (High Desert Clay) is one of their best yet.

They'll also protect him from whatever pests are hanging out on his crops, from skin-irritating plants, and they'll wick away sweat to keep him cool. Plus!
