Summary
$27.9 billion in Father's Day spending is expected this year, and Esquire editor in chief Michael Sebastian urged shoppers to avoid generic novelty gifts in favor of more personal picks.
Sebastian said customized items such as monogrammed shirts, socks and stationery can better match a dad's interests, while homemade cards, framed artwork and coupon books work well when young children are involved.
For adult children, he recommended shared experiences over more stuff dads may not need, adding that siblings can pool money to make bigger outings affordable.
Specific ideas ranged from Casio watches and Yeti barware tumblers to Ralph Lauren fragrance, Parker Jotter pens costing under $15, and books tailored to a father's real interests.
