Father’s Day Gifts To Avoid

Perhaps you have been waiting to buy your dad a gift until I posted this list to help you decide what you should get him. Most likely that’s not true but we are going to pretend anyway. Well here is it! The list you have been waiting for since you remember it was Father’s Day this weekend. Sometimes dad can be hard to shop for because he always says that all he needs is the 3 “S’s” (Sleep. Sex. Silence.) and he will be happy. Wouldn’t we all. However, you’re going to give it a try and see if you can find something just right. Here are the things he DOESN’T want.

#7.)  Any T-Shirt with the Word “Dad” on It.  He might wear it, even though it’s lame.  But he’d almost definitely prefer a T-shirt with NOTHING on it.
#6.)  A “Hot Sauce of the Month Club” Membership.  Complex.com says ANY monthly membership like that is lame, because it SEEMS thoughtful, but isn’t.
#5.)  Dad Jeans.  If you’re giving him jeans, they say to upgrade his style a bit.  But the thing is, he probably likes his dad jeans because they’re COMFORTABLE, not because they LOOK good.  So jeans in general are a risky Father’s Day present.
#4.)  Underwear.  If you gave him a three-pack of boxer shorts on any other day, I guarantee he’d appreciate it.  But on Father’s Day, it just says you put in zero effort.
#3.)  Hair Products.  This one’s probably the worst thing on the list.  Unless it’s a gag gift or something, let HIM worry about his hair.  He knows how much he’s got left.
#2.)  A Novelty Tie.  He might wear it once or twice, but if you really want to do the Father’s Day tie thing, get him a NICE tie.  And get him something else to go with it.
#1.)  A Coffee Mug.  If it says something like “World’s Greatest Dad” on it, maybe.  It just can’t be the ONLY gift you give him.
