My Father's Day hot take is that the perfect gift is whatever you know they're going to use. And I'm not talking about something basic like another new tie or a grilling apron that says "Best Dad Ever." I mean a gift that makes them so excited and feel so seen that they'll make it their entire personality and look for any opportunity to brag about this life-changing gift.
