A Less Obvious Father’s Day Gift Guide

By

So it’s that time of year again when all the usual suspect magazines “guide” you to buying tie pins, boxed selections of ‘world’ beers, boring old cuff links, bland ties, leather driving gloves, three-pack beige socks and generally the most dull gift ideas you could ever think of for Father’s Day.
