Questions people ask

What do you get a dad who says he wants nothing?

Pick an upgrade to something he uses daily, like his mug, his wallet or his grill tools. He will use it without having to make room for it.

Is a gift card a good gift for dad?

It works, but it reads as low effort. A small, well-chosen item plus a handwritten note usually lands better.
