Okay, let’s be honest. Shopping for your dad is one of the hardest things to do on the planet.
You may think we’re exaggerating (or you may be agreeing with us), but our dad literally buys anything and everything when he wants it. So when we actually have to buy something for him, we don’t know what to get him.
Writing this gift guide was a challenge for us to find the most unique birthday gifts for our dad and to help you find a gift for the dad who is hard to shop for.
We literally spent hours trying to find items that we know our dad does not have, but will also love. If you’re struggling to find the perfect birthday gift for your dad this year, we hope this list gives you at least one unique gift idea!
