100 Gifts for Father’s Day, from $5 to $1,500
Even if we mark Father’s Day on our calendar weeks in advance (it’s June 21 this year, BTW), we somehow always end up on the hunt for a last-minute gift. It’s probably because our dad is notoriously hard to shop for. Unless you plan on buying him a boat of course, which is just slightly out of our budget. So, this year, we were determined to be extra prepared, and we whipped up 100 gift ideas in the process. From a $5 magazine subscription to a $1,500 workout mirror, here are the 100 best gifts for Father’s Day.
