If your dad claims he wants nothing this Father's Day, ignore him and give a gift that keeps on giving. These unique gifts are probably ones he hasn’t bought himself yet.
You can go luxurious and get him his very own massage chair, or go more thoughtful with a subscription to a beer or cigar club. If your dad is the kind of dad who likes to spend all his time outdoors in the summer, Greenworks Tools is having a sale right now. You can get 30% off outdoor power equipment like a battery-powered lawnmower, a cordless leaf blower or a new battery-powered chainsaw. Some purchases even come with a free drill.
If you are still struggling to find a gift this Father's Day, check out our gift guide for dads who are into working out or read up on what to buy for your patriotic dad.
