Did you remember that Father’s Day was just around the corner? Like, this weekend? I totally flaked. (I also forgot to blog last week, apparently? Let’s blame it on the paint chips and globs of spackle that have become my life).

If you are in a rapidly sinking offspring boat like me and still need to figure out something for your pater familias, I’ve done some of the searching for you and scrounged up these 10 gifts for rad dads.

  1. These are such great picks! I love that they’re all masculine without totally playing into the traditional gender roles Father’s Day is all too fond of. Heck, apart from the mustache treatment, I want all of these things for myself!

    1. Thanks, Becca! I agree, I think they are definitely slightly “masculine” while still being unisex. It’s funny you mentioned the mustache treatment, I find handlebar mustaches hilarious and have always imagined I would grow one if I were a guy (or, a very confident bearded lady?).
