Father’s Day Gifts Your Dad ACTUALLY Wants This Year

Now that we're officially in June, most of us are busy enjoying the fact that school's out for the summer.

But whether you're beginning to plan your perfect summer vacations or focusing on fun with friends, there's one big day you might want to think about first: Father's Day. Your dad is a guy you can go to for just about anything, from help with your homework to relationship problems and basically any kind of car trouble. While he deserves to feel appreciated every day, Father's Day is the time when you can really show him how much you appreciate who he is and what he does.

We all know that finding the right gift for men isn't always easy, though, so how are you supposed to make sure you nail it this Father's Day with something so good it secures your status as "favorite child" for good? We have some ideas. We've put together a list of the kind of gifts your dad actually wants this year, so you can trust that he isn't just faking it when he looks ecstatic opening anything you give him (no matter how poorly wrapped it may be). There's something for every kind of dad, so take a look and get ready to impress with gift, such as the ones we've collected below.
