A dad is easy to buy a novelty mug for and hard to buy something he will leave out. The better sample picks here are tools for habits he already has: the pocket dump at night, the shave, the grill, the first cup.

Not sure which habit is actually his? The Gift Finder ranks this sample catalogue against who he is and your budget. If the grill is the whole personality, read gifts for the grill master. If the morning pot is the ritual, start with gifts for the coffee lover.

Every product on this page is sample data. The budget band is not a live price, and the panel notes are not real quotes.
