Dapper Dads: Father’s Day Gifts He’ll Actually Want

May 4, 2023 Gift Guides Style & Beauty

After years of gifting the quintessential tie that languishes in his closet or the pragmatic power tool for his workbench, we’re in search of something a bit more inspired when it comes to celebrating the father figures in our lives. We asked our editors across the country what they’re planning on gifting their husbands, fathers, and grandfathers as June 18th fast approaches. We’re happy to report that these small businesses selections are equal parts stylish, thoughtful and practical… just like dear old dad himself.
