20 Father’s Day Gifts for the Modern Dad

Granted, Father’s Day doesn’t inspire the run on brunch the way Mother’s Day does, but you’re still on the hook for some quality time with the old man. A day on the lake fishing, 18 holes at the golf course, or just barbecuing in the backyard and absorbing all the wisdom that your father has to offer. There’s no better way to show your dad how much you appreciate him than by spending time with him. But a close second is giving him a thoughtful gift that he can show off for the next year. And a novelty tie won’t cut it. We’ve rounded up the best gifts for the modern dad that’ll earn you the favorite child title, at least until the holidays.
