Dads are pretty easy to please. Get him a La-Z-Boy chair, a trip to Home Depot, and a few bad dad jokes, and he’s set for a good time. So why is shopping for gifts for dads so impossible? Maybe because they always answer the question, “What do you want for Father’s Day?” with something like, “I already have everything I need!” And while it might be true that your dad doesn’t *need* anything, he probably has his eye on a few things that he would love to open for his birthday or Father’s Day (coming up in June!).
