Gifts for the Dad Who Says He Wants Nothing
"I don't need anything." Every dad says it. Here's the secret: they mean they don't want to pick something. They're still happy to get something good.
The winning formula is a gift tied to a hobby he already has (grilling, tools, the car, a drink), or one that makes a daily thing easier.

Before you buy
Look at what he complains about. Lost keys, a dead tire, a messy nightstand: each one is a gift idea.
If he really has everything, upgrade something he uses daily (slippers, a mug, a wallet) to a much nicer version.
