The Gifts Your Dad Actually Wants
Well-vetted Father’s Day present options from sons
Father’s Day is upon us (you've got about two weeks) but shopping for Dad is never an easy job. He says he doesn't need anything, but this past year has taught us how much family matters. Treat the dad (or dad-like dude) in your life to something special. Something he could use but maybe not purchase for himself. Perhaps he'd enjoy the same masculine indulgences that you'd like to personally buy. From a rugged timepiece and a classic pair of shades to more practical items like a flask or vibrating foam roller, here are 20 gift ideas that are sure to please your pop.

triple wrap bracelet, from $650
Maybe you've got a young dad on your gift list celebrating his first Father's Day. Perhaps your own pop is young at heart and likes looking good. Either way, they'd no doubt appreciate a luxe necklace or bracelet. After all, every man should own some simple, stylish jewelry. Inspired by Bali and its time-honored jewelry-making traditions, John Hardy has been crafting subtle but sophisticated pieces since 1975. Here are a few of our current favorites.
