Father's Day Gift Guide 2020

Dads can be tough to shop for. If I had a nickel for each time one of the father figures in my life said something to the effect of, "oh, honey, I have everything I could ever possibly need!" when asked what he would like for Father's Day (or any other gifting holiday), I could probably cash in all those nickels and buy everything on this list.

And, since I'm at least 20 years too old to produce a one-of-a-kind keepsake with perler beads or sculpey polymer clay, I'm going to use my REAL money to buy them something they will appreciate -- even if they don't know it yet. Maybe you can relate?

So I scoured the internet, consulted with bona fide dads (and dads-to-be), and racked my brain to create this particular gift guide. Many of the items are made by small and/or local businesses, and almost all of my picks are under $50. [Links to each of the items are listed below the infographic!]

I feel obligated to remind you that dads like candles -- even if they don't know it yet. Most importantly, though, I hope everyone has a chance to spend some quality time (or, you know, FaceTime) with their dad-figure(s) on Father's Day.
