Preface Preface

• Your dad is the guy who gave you the longest piggyback rides, taught you how to cannonball into a pool, and now answers the phone when you call, even in the weirdest of places. He's a rockstar of a father to you, so here's your chance to find the ultimate birthday gifts for Dad. This year, make Dad's birthday one for the books.

• He's done a lot for you over the years, so let him kick back with a beer on his birthday. You can keep it simple (a rad bottle opener), indulge his maker side (beer growler), or give him a little of everything (beer tasting kit).

Crown Him Master of the Grill Crown Him Master of the Grill

• He is the champion of grilling burgers to perfection in your family. Scout birthday gifts for Dad that are all about the BBQ, including a personalized branding iron. It's a win for all.

Keep it Simple and Sincere Keep it Simple and Sincere

Give Him Time Together Give Him Time Together

•  Make it a family affair, and invite your siblings to go in on a group gift. Pick up tickets to see a game all together. Add on a comfy bleacher seat for the biggest sports fan you know.

Make It About Him Make It About Him

• You may think golf is the most boring sport, ever, but it's his favorite way to spend a Saturday - so a golf lesson with a PGA pro would knock his socks off. For the bourbon drinker, surprise him with whiskey stones to keep his drinks chilled.
