Tired of subscribing to the tired tropes of ‘masculine gifts for men’ for your father? Here are some ideas on how to celebrate what makes your dad special instead
Looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift to celebrate the father figure in your life? For some of us, shopping for men can be even more tricky than shopping for women, especially as most brands tend to package all men’s items as macho or ultra-masculine, and not all men are macho or ultra-masculine.

So from the creative to the unexpected, here are some gifts and experiences that will make the dad in your life feel special and their tastes acknowledged.
