Put Down the Case of Beer and Get This HIstory of Football Book for Dad Instead, Guys

There's no one quite like dear old Dad, right? Whether he was the one who always volunteer to be tee ball coach, or the Dad that showed you the wonders of escaping into a good book, or he's become your favorite drinking buddy nowadays (or all of the above!), he's one of your favorite people, and deserves to be shown all the love. And while daughters have their own special relationship with their Dads (which is why we have a totally separate list of gifts for Dads from daughters!), there's just nothing like the bond between father and son. So for Father's Day, his birthday, or just any regular day, don't hesitate to show him just how much you care.

Except, the problem is, what do you get the guy who has everything? While there are tons of gifts for men that are generally suitable for most guys, we'd advise looking at the things and people he loves for clues as to the perfect gift. For the golfer, consider something that'll up his game. Or if he's a certified grill master, a practical present that'll bring new flavor to his age-old favorites is always welcome. When in doubt, you can never go wrong just by spending some time with him over brunch!
