It’s not exactly a secret: dads can be hard to shop for. After all, we can be a pretty picky bunch. We like our clothes just right, we’re used to our favorite brands — from our lawnmowers to our bedroom slippers — and we’ve got our go-to foods that just can’t be beat. So, in order to help your kids, your wife, or your in-laws know how to shop for you better, it’s always good to put together a wish list. That way, when they hit the mall in search of the perfect gift for you, they have a good idea of what they should buy.

The problem is, most dads are so busy giving, they don’t think too much about getting. That makes you a good dad, but also hard to shop for. If you need help putting together a wish list for your kids to use when shopping for you, consider these categories of items every dad craves!

Menswear

We know, we just said that picking out clothes for dads is hard. Well, it doesn’t have to be; just be sure to tell your family what items you have in mind. Dads often spend so much time working, whether in the office or out in the yard, that they don’t have time to think about treating themselves to some luxurious men’s apparel. Well, the Holidays are the time to think about it! Consider adding some of these options to your holiday wish list:

·         A sleek new set of thin neckties to stay on top of the trends

·         Black watches for men who want to impress at work

·         Dress shoes that tie together whatever look you fancy

·         Sunglasses so you can stun on the streets

Of course, not every dad is jazzed on clothes. That’s totally okay, because there are other great holiday gifts for dads that you can add to your wish list.

Car gear

It’s a fact of nature: dads love cars. When you’re putting together a wish list for your family, consider including some sweet car accessories. After all, you’ll love driving all the more with some sweet new add-ons that turn your car into a luxury dad space. You’ll definitely want to put these bad boys on your wish list:

·         A classic race car steering wheel cover so you can bob and weave through traffic with ease

·         Air freshener so your car always smells like a dream come true

·         A massage cushion for your seats so you can chill out on your commute

·         A phone holder so you can swipe past songs without getting distracted

Getting new gear for your car is always great, but don’t worry; that’s not all there is for dads on this list!

Cool home comforts

A man’s house is his castle, so it should make him feel like a king. And every king needs his very own comforts to help him relax and feel at ease after a long day of working hard to provide for his family. Luckily, many brands know this, and there are tons of awesome items for dads to use at home to help them chill:

·         Whiskey stones for your drink to stay cool without watering down the fine aged flavor

·         Warm slippers for dads who get up early even on those days when there’s frost on the windows

·         A blanket to get cozy on the couch during long winter playoff games

·         Man-scented candles that add an alluring aroma to your space without being too girly

Home comforts are always well-received, but the category that dads love most of all is….

Sweet tech finds

Dads are all about tech. Your family will want to shower you in the most recent gadgets and gizmos that will make you feel special this Holiday season. Help them out by dropping these must-haves onto that holiday wish list:

·         A Bluetooth speaker you can use to listen to your music as you do chores around the house
