What To Get Dad For Father's Day 2016

Whether you're vying for favorite child, or looking to honestly express your love and appreciation for Dad this Father's Day, I've got you covered — because this Father's Day gift guide includes something for everyone.

If Dad's an adventure junkie, always eager to plan his next hiking, rafting, or camping excursion, why not get him something he can use while exploring the great outdoors — like Filson's roll-top dry day backpack? It'll keep his phone, wallet, and keys dry and dust-free throughout any trek. Do you have a history buff in the house? Consider heading to New York state this June 18-19, where you can create your own "path through history," choosing from 192 historical activities, ranging from Revolutionary War battle reenactments and museum tours to hikes through historical landmarks.

Is Dad known to dabble in at-home craft cocktail sorcery? He'll love receiving a copy of The Tippling Bros. A Lime and a Shaker: Discovering Mexican-Inspired Cocktails by Tad Carducci, Paul Tanguay, and Alia Akkam. You might as well throw a bottle of Blue Nectar Tequila in that gift box as well, you know, for good measure.

Whatever hobbies Dad has, you'll be sure to find the ideal Father's Day gift to show just how much you appreciate him, right here.
