Boss-As-Hell Birthday Gifts That Will Get a Huge Smile From Dad

Three times a year, you have to find a perfect gift for the most difficult-to-shop-for person you know: Dad. Unlike you, your father doesn't spend 3 hours a day surfing Instagram, adding to the never-ending shopping list in his head. So, when you casually bring up his birthday, his gift suggestions are completely unhelpful. (I'm not buying you wheel cleaner, no matter how badly you need it, Dad.)

It's a difficult balance to strike, because you have to get him something he needs, but it also has to be something he doesn't know he needs. Ya know? Something he'll open and say, "this exists?!" with a look of pure joy on his precious dad face. Thankfully, I've rounded up an entire list of thoughtful presents that will do just that – electric wine-openers, DIY pasta kits, heated slippers, and more. Shop the coolest birthday gifts dad will love almost as much as he loves you.
