I think a lot of people will agree that dads are among the hardest people to shop for. The slideshow below is rich in ideas for those not content giving Dad the blandly uncreative socks and underwear sets.
Creative gift ideas for dads aren’t actually that hard to come by, it’s just that people get so stuck in this idea that underwear or handy household tools and gadgets are the only option. Why not make it a hip, eco household gadget, like a handcrank phone charger? Have a creative child who wants to make daddy’s present? Help them out with the DIY tie kit! Or for papas to be, what about the surprisingly masculine diaper bags for dudes?
Whatever stage of life he’s in, this slidshow offers plenty of creative Christmas gift ideas for dads!
