If your Dad loves music, a portable speaker is a surefire winner! Our tip is to find one that’s water resistant so he can take it with him anywhere… from beach trips to backyard BBQs… or belting out tunes in the bathroom. We’ve all got that Dad, don’t we?!

16. Flowers
Most men never receive a bunch of flowers in their lifetime! Such a crazy fact that we think needs changing. Flowers spark joy regardless of gender so give Dad an unexpected gift of flowers that’s bound to make him feel special.
Personally, we love a native bouquet like this one from Floraly.

Investing in a good quality, classic style backpack will ensure it lasts the distance, which is why we love this one from The North Face.
