12 Fresh Gift Ideas for Your Father Figure on Father's Day

He’s your father. Papa, dad, whatever you call him, he’s the one who has been cheering from the stands since day one. Maybe he taught you how to throw a baseball, or perhaps he ignited your love of classic rock. Maybe he taught you the perfect paella recipe, or handed down his trademark humor. He’s probably still the champion on the grill, though you’re old enough now to vie for the title.

Dad is the one who has been the bannerman for your dreams and goals. He’s still a temple for sage advice, and a shoulder to cry on when the sun isn’t shining.

Father’s Day is an excellent time to remind your dad (or your father-figure) that you appreciate everything he has done (and all the times he’s put up with you).

Maybe this year, you’re shopping for a new dad. Though he is now the proud parent of a beautiful bundle of joy, no doubt he deserve a little pampering himself after all those late nights and big bills. If you’re a parent yourself now, you know just how much love and care fathers can put into bringing up their kids.

Here, our guide to gifts that will remind your dad the place he holds in your heart. They range from the sentimental -- like custom-made vouchers -- to the splurge-worthy, to appeal to any budget.

Gift ideas for the dad in your life on Father's Day:
