Some more ideas for others, inspired by my DH:
- Nice cigars and a cigar humidor
- Professional framing of special items (e.g., jerseys) if DH has an office or man cave
- Heated vest (obviously better for colder months)

OP here — smoking disgusts me, but to each his own. I do have a collection of Zippo lighters though, only I found an insert that dispenses Tic Tac mints instead of fire lol.

Framing is good. Especially for a poster of somewhere you have traveled together or a concert you have seen.

Personally I wouldn’t like a heated vest. But I would love funny socks. But I also run hot in general, so I don’t need artificial heat.

I do like things to prepare for the zombie apocalypse. I recently got a fero rod for starting fires. Pretty cool.

Thanks for the ideas, OP! My kids and I are excited to give DH a fero rod - perfect gift for the guy who has everything he needs.

I’ll add another gift my husband loved: a battery daddy. It’s like a little briefcase that keeps batteries organized and in one place.

A Jackery is another good tech gift people might not think of. It's like a small, portable generator, although it's a lithium battery with multiple inputs. Great for cookouts, day trips, keeping things charged at day-long sporting events, etc.

Like anything else you can spend north of $2,000 on it, but a simple $200 one will do. And there are cheaper competitors.

Maybe it's just me, but I want some of these things on this thread. Too bad Mother's Day has passed.

Father’s Day is always on the day of the final round of the US Open. The perfect gift for him is watching it in peace, when it’s over he will grille something with a gin and tonic in hand, and then I ravish him once the kids are asleep. He’s pretty easy to deal with. All of OPs gift ideas would be wasted on him except for maybe a concert ticket.

Any other suggestions for bourbon beyond the pappy? Looking to spend $150 or so on the bottle!

HA! Mine too! Literally his happy place.

Same! I hate that place and don't understand the appeal.

Dad, here. I’ve got enough stuff. A heartfelt card and hug from the kid that’s still home, and a call from the one that’s across the country is all I need.

1792
Eagle Rare (if you can find it -- but you probably cannot)
Buffalo Trace (if you can find it)
Blanton's is also popular.

Most of those are less than $150.

If he likes Scotch, there are several nice bottles at that price point. I'm partial to the Balvenie.

Half of those items would get your man card taken away

My husband would like things like:
Specific high end tools
Sport equipment (skiing, rock climbing, running, not team sports)
He never drinks alcohol, so good tea might substitute
Hot sauces - yes, that's a good one
Beef Jerky or some cured salty meat
Home made stuff from the kids
A craft that he can do with the kids - they like building models together.
