2020 has certainly been a strange and challenging year, but despite all the changes and uncertainty, the days keep passing as with every year before. We’re already into late spring, and Father’s Day is right around the corner. This is a special time to remember what all the fathers in the world do for their children, but it also brings a bit of a problem: choosing the perfect Father’s Day gifts. If you are finding that your creative gift-giving well is dry, then let us help with some suggestions. Here are seven great Father’s Day gifts for 2020.

Hiking Boots

With all the restrictions on gatherings and public events, 2020 is the perfect year for getting out and enjoying the great outdoors. While so many other activities are forbidden or drastically changed, hiking will be just as fun and accessible as ever before. If your father has any interest in nature, then this might be the year they bring their outdoorsman credentials up a notch. A solid pair of hiking boots provides comfort and stability, and will make your father feel like a bonafide denizen of the trails.

Apple Watch Bands

If your father loves his gadgets, he is far from the only guy out there with a predilection for technology. And while devices themselves are often too expensive for a gift (and are often better chosen by the person who will actually use them), accessories for those devices are almost always appreciated. For years, watches have been as much about style as convenience, and there’s no reason Apple Watches should be an exception. Find the right band for your father’s tastes, and you can be sure he will appreciate it.

An Engraved Pocket Knife

This is the perfect gift because it is both personal and practical. The engraving gives you the chance to show how much your father means to you. Meanwhile, there is no guy out there who won’t find a use for a pocket knife. From opening boxes to cutting rope, the little buggers are just plain handy. Perhaps more importantly, most guys simply feel cooler if they have a pocket knife tucked away in their jeans.

Electric Shaver

If your father still insists on using an old fashioned razor, this is the year to bring him into the twenty-first century. This is one of those areas where guys often insist that they like using their age-old methods, but as soon as they experience the convenience and ease of modern technology they become immediately hooked. Insist that your dad at least try their new electric shaver, and before you know it your gift will have become part of his new (and faster) morning routine.

A Pair of Comfortable Slippers

Slippers are a perfect example of the kind of thing that guys won’t often pamper themselves with, but will use all the time if somebody else buys them. This makes them an ideal gift. Take your dad’s personality into account. If he is an indoor person, then prioritize comfort in your choice of slippers. If he’s constantly in and out of the house, then look for something a bit more durable that will survive brief outdoor use.

A Comfy Bathrobe

This is another item that most guys will love but many will be hesitant to buy themselves. Take the initiative to buy your father the robe that will make him the (indolent) king of his castle.

A Pair of Nice Sunglasses

Lots of guys wear cheap sunglasses for practical reasons, never stepping up their game of their own accord. If your dad falls into this category, take advantage of the Father’s Day holiday to get him something a bit nicer. There’s no need to break the bank, but a modest investment can buy something that will help you dad see more clearly and be seen as a heck of a lot more cool.
