I have always found gifting items to my dad for Father’s Day less of an arduous task than gifting for my mother.

While I am not 100% certain why this is, I’d like to believe this is because my father wears his interests on his sleeve, loud and proud, leaving little room to guess what he might want. Meanwhile, my mother is rather quiet about some of her interests, meaning I have to dig a bit deeper to find something that suits her. Fathers being easy gifting targets seems like the consensus across the board, something I found from speaking to friends and coworkers about their dads.

In no specific order, my father (or baba in Arabic), Otman, loves football (American soccer) , Star Wars , space, oldies rock music, video games, printed ties and Pokémon. His interests haven’t changed much since immigrating to America from Morocco. He has three kids who gift him things every Father’s Day , which means I am always in competition with my siblings to see who can give him the best gift.

- Gig Passport for $21.02

My trick for success for you is to search within guidelines based on your dad’s likes and dislikes. Make up a general list and search from there. I usually want something unique, catered to him and only him. I want something at an affordable price that will last my dad a lifetime. I try to stick to catering to a specific need, using forethought to buy him a new cologne before he runs out, or socks, because I know he loses every single pair. Personalized gifts are also a hit with my dad. In 2017, I gifted him a laptop bag with his initials plastered on the front. He still uses it to this day.

As Father’s Day approaches on June 21, now is the time to start shopping so that you don’t find yourself searching for something meaningful at the last minute. Below, I’ve compiled a list of solid gifts, including subscription services, personalized trinkets and music-themed memorabilia to shop through that should arrive ahead of the big day.
