Gift ideas for Dad

June 10, 2024 Clare Brooks

Father's Day is this Sunday! Do they need more terrible jokes for the ever-expanding dad joke arsenal? Paint & model kits for the crafty dads? How about... hiking through New England in search of craft beers?

We'll help you find the perfect Father's Day gift & we'll wrap it for free!

Okay. Dad joke time. Why can't you hear a pterodactyl going to the bathroom?... Because the P is silent.
