It is mid-June, when one must ask oneself: What in God’s dear name am I going to get my Dad for Father’s Day?

Many of the older men out there have, and always have had, a certain ascetic streak, with no particular interest in or need of a material gift.

Yet, something must be done to express your gratitude for all the after-school rides, basketball lessons, and tough love given.

Sure, Dad would be happy with a pat on the back, but come on he helped make you the man/woman you are today. You owe the guy.

So, get him something that he’ll really love.

In order to help, here is a large and therefore hopefully fail-proof Father’s Day gift guide.
