Father’s Day is less than a month away, which means now’s the time to start thinking about what you’re getting your dad. Even though he probably appreciates the “best dad ever” mugs/trophies/t-shirts/socks/etc. you’ve been giving him the past 20 or so years, why not get him something actually useful this year? If you need a few ideas, check out our Father’s Day gift guide for 2021:
An edible garden starter kit
(For the dad who dreams of starting a farm)
Does your dad daydream about going back to basics and just living on a farm?

Old Spice Gift Packs
(For the dad who loves smelling great)
If your dad appreciates smelling great but isn’t the type to put on perfume every day, he’ll probably love this gift pack from Old Spice. This particular one has two body sprays in two different fragrances, but there are also deo stick versions if your old man prefers that. It’s a practical gift he’s sure to use!
