Father’s Day Gift Ideas for The Hard-to-Shop-For Dad

Let’s be honest—Dad doesn’t need another golf mug or “World’s Best Dad” keychain. He needs sunglasses that adjust to the light and takes calls, body wash that feels like a eucalyptus spa, and shoes he can actually throw in the wash. This year, I’ve rounded up gifts he’ll genuinely use (and brag about to his friends). From high-tech shades and pro-level massage tools to a backpack that holds everything and charges his devices, these are the kind of Father’s Day gifts that say “I love you… and I know you’re impossible to shop for.”
