Men often have the reputation of being easier to please than women, especially when it comes to Father's Day. But I think it's all a lot more complicated than that.
Here's a good place to start. 5 things NOT to buy him for Father's Day:
1. Manties - Why should women have all the fun? Though honestly, if you've seen a leopard print man-thong European bathing suit it's clear that the boys have tons to celebrate.
2. Old Spice Hair and Body Wash or any three-fer products - If it washes hair, cleans tubs, and spritzes his balls, it's probably going to cause burns and resentment.
3. MANicure - Men may enjoy facials or pedicures or even the occasional beauty treatment but they often don't want you to acknowledge it. Then again, some men pretty much beg for a certificate, so who knows?
4. Navy Seals Pull-Up Bar - I have it on good authority (thanks little brother) that men, like women, do not enjoy gifts with a strong subtext. If you give him workout gear and he's a little fluffy, the message will be received and Daddy won't be happy.
5. Ties, Socks, Handkerchiefs - These gifts pretty much yell out "Who the hell are you?!!" They might be ok for granddad, but today's younger smarter daddy probably won't appreciate them.
Any to add?
