Despite how picky your dad is, sending gifts on special occasions is still worth it. He deserves to get the best gift after all. It is not really about the price but if the item suits his taste and lifestyle. Bottomline, you need to personalize your gift to what he likes and needs, more than what is expensive. Once you have insider information about his hobbies and interests, it is easier to drill down what gifts suit him best. Otherwise, it would only be a waste of money and energy. In case you end up not getting anything, here are some gifts for dad who wants nothing.
Gifts for Dad Who Wants Nothing
Mystery Tackle Box
Do you know what bait to use to hook a rare and big “fish?” Your dad will surely take the bait when they see the Mystery box. Even his finicky attitude will change once he sees what is inside. Whether your dad is a newbie or not, he won’t be as hard-to-get as the fishes in the ocean when they see the box. He will get the best quality fishing lures worth $40 value for freshwater bass fishing. Best of all, he will also get other exclusive fishing gear plus tips and instructions on catching fish. Now, that’s a huge catch!
Leatherman Wearable Multitool
What’s better than getting a toolbox for your dad who is always on the go? Wearable tools are 100% better than a huge toolbox that is heavy and not suitable for long-haul traveling. Get innovative. Send him a Leatherman bracelet for Father’s day to show him that he is in your thoughts. Once he discovers what the leatherman is for, he will fall in love with its functionality.
Leatherman is the first wearable multitool ever released. It is a must-have accessory for all dads who are fond of tinkering around. Wrapped around his wrist are 29 tools ranging from box wrenches to screwdrivers. He can even adjust the wrist to match his size by removing the links. It is an accessory he will never part with.
Water Generating Dewplanter
Gardening is a common hobby for a lot of dads. If your dad is starting a small garden of his, get him a Dewplanter. Whether they are busy or are simply forgetful, the Dewplanter will keep his plants hydrated. Because like humans, plants need water to survive. And through the water generating technology, they will never have to water again. Wait for the plant to grow and be harvested.

At any time of the day, his throat may dry up and may need instant relief. Drinking his favorite beverage cold is like seeing an oasis in the middle of the desert. He gets to enjoy 16 oz of his favorite beverage, such as craft beer or soda, without freezing his hands. Mom won’t also get mad because dad will not make any sweat ring on the table.
Luker Vinyl Record Player
Musically inclined fathers usually have a collection of cassette tapes and vinyl records in their collection. For those hard-to-please fathers who have exquisite taste, especially those who are attached to the old school music recorder and players that no modern technology can’t replace, get innovative and give your dad a record player.
The record player does more than playing songs from LP. It has a retro-style design suitcase mixed with the Bluetooth technology of the modern era.

One of the best ways to slowly incorporate newer technology into his life.
W&P Homemade Gin Kit
Generic gifts are a huge NO-NO for dads who are peculiar with what they like. Instead, watch him closely, listen, and take hints of what he could be interested in. Men, in general, as they grow older are more inclined to playing chess, golf, gardening, or becoming wine experts.
