June 21 is the day to celebrate all dads. They’re hilarious, loving, and incredible – you basically hit it out of the park by finding the greatest guy for kiddos — high five! Sure a tie or socks may be the nostalgic gifts of Father’s Day past, but it’s time to think outside the department store. Whether it’s homemade, customized, or a fancy gadget, from this list you’ll find something he’ll love.

Here are 25 gifts to make the dad in your life feel extra special.

#1: “D-A-D or I Love Dad” pictures:: You get simple letters or chalkboards from Jo-Ann Fabrics or Michael’s, and snap some pictures of your little ones holding them. Pick up a frame and you’re good to go.
