Who would the Mamas be without the Papas? And while, yes, we are thinking specifically of the “California Dreamin'” mega-group of the ’60s, this is also our inadvertent plea to pay proper homage to the men who helped birth you this June 16, lest you forget that Father’s Day is not this coming “Monday, Monday”, but the following Sunday, Sunday. See what we did there? Poorly timed song references aside, we’re just about half way through June (we can’t believe it, either), which means that the day dedicated to celebrating your dad is officially upon us.
If you’re stumped on what to get your pops this season, don’t you worry, we’re good at this stuff and culled an ace selection of pretty great options. Regardless if you talk to your dad once a day or once a year, if he’s a whiz in the kitchen or likes the simpler things in life, we’ve covered all the bases, and price points, too. So, if you’re in the mood for gifting, one of these picks will do the trick. And if you need a million dollar, zero dollar idea that is guaranteed to make your pops know you care, make him a playlist. Fill it with songs that remind you of him, a few of his faves, and a couple new ones for good measure — music is powerful. Rock on, dads.
