Father’s Day is just around the corner, and so is the age-old question: what do you get for the man who swears he “doesn’t need anything”?

Sure, dads may shrug off the fuss, but let’s be honest: there’s nothing like that quiet smile (and unmistakable eye-twinkle) when they realize you put real thought into their gift. Especially when it’s something a little more exciting than socks or yet another toolkit.

Whether your dad is a design enthusiast, a backyard grillmaster, a spreadsheet samurai, or just someone who values a well-poured drink and a moment of peace, this guide has something to surprise and delight him for real this year.

Because the man who taught you how to ride a bike, fix the WiFi, and master the BBQ deserves more than “just something.” He deserves something legendary.
