What do you get the dad who doesn't want another tie? Something he'll actually use. Tom's Father's Day gift guide focuses on practical, well-built gifts for dads who cook, garden, build, camp, fish, and work with their hands. Most are Made in USA. All are built to last. None of them will end up in a closet by July.
Tom's Rule for Father's Day Gifts: Buy him something he needs but won't buy himself. The best gifts are the ones where he opens it and says "I've been meaning to get one of these." That's what this list is.
