Father’s Day gift ideas: books, tech, games, and more
Father’s Day is coming up in the U.S. On Sunday, 18th June is the day to celebrate Dads around the world.

Given that no two Dads are the same — and that some are particularly difficult to buy gifts for — we’ve done our best to corral a variety of gift ideas that will, at the very least, show Dad that you wanted to make their day a special one (sorry, Dad, I’m not getting you an Apple Vision Pro next year).
