This year, parents have had to juggle a lot more than in a typical year. With the health crisis going on and everything that came with it – from remote learning to tracking deadlines for work and adjusting to staying in the same four walls more than we're used to – don't feel bad if Father's Day shopping slipped the mind. It's been hard to keep track of it all, and sometimes all it takes is one more invisible task piled on to our overwhelming to-do list to make it feel like it's all crumbling.
But don't fear. If Father's Day planning – which lands on June 20 this year – is something that was dropped, there are still ways to pull a last-ditch effort to make it a good one. Of course, dads have had a hard year, too, and need to be honored and celebrated. With that in mind, and our limited time until the day creeps up, we've done the last-minute research to help overworked parents find the perfect gift to show dad how much we appreciate them and all the ways they make this parenting journey worth it.
So, whether the dad in the family is someone who loves to barbecue and try new things or he's more the dad that prefers to spend his downtime trying to perfect his golf swing, and everything in between, we've compiled 20 gifts perfect to score for dad at the last minute. Take a look!
