I was too, so I decided to ask around. Anyone need another \u2018World\u2019s Greatest Dad\u2019 coffee mug? \u201cComes in handy for breakfast in bed &#8212; hint, hint.\u201d Need another fun and colorful tie? \u201cNot so much.\u201d So what do you really need?? \u201cNothing.\u201d Not much to go on there\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The obvious answer, since no dad will ever admit that they really \u2018need\u2019 anything, is to give him something he wouldn\u2019t get himself. So I have to go with my gut, think outside the box and get my guys something they\u2019ll love. Since each dad in my life is uniquely special, the same gift will not cover everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Team Elfster put together our top picks for Father\u2019s Day giving, we kept that in mind. Dads come in all types and styles, so our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/wish\/guide\/500\/fathers-day\/\">Father\u2019s Day Gift Guide<\/a> reflect that in the nearly 50 great gift ideas for the \u201cBest. Dad. Ever.\u201d in your life. Here are just a few of my favorites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For The Top Chef<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was a girl, some of my favorite moments were spent in the kitchen with my grandfather, who was quite the chef. I now have some of his favorite \u201cseasoned\u201d pans and still prepare some of his unique dishes. My dad still spends much of his time in the kitchen, so I guess they could be considered my \u201cTop Chefs.\u201d Many of the delicacies created by both were delicious, but very meat-oriented meals, so I am always drawn to a delicious barbecue. If you have a guy with a little extra time on his hands, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Franklin-Barbecue-A-Meat-Smoking-Manifesto\/dp\/1607747200%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIMLKPQSGTYE5YV6Q%26tag%3Delfster0f-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1607747200\">Franklin Barbecue: A Meat-Smoking Manifesto<\/a>, a New York Times best selling complete meat- and brisket-cooking education from the country&#8217;s most celebrated pitmaster and owner of the wildly popular Austin restaurant Franklin Barbecue.

One thing I can live without is the jumble of cords that comes along with it. Guess you can call me the organizer, since I was really excited to find a way to control that cord clutter in a quick and easy way that makes life easier for both of us.

Be sure to celebrate your dad and all the other dads in your life &#8212; husbands, father-in-laws, stepfathers, brother-in-laws, would-be future dads, your uncles, and brothers. Let them know how much you love and appreciate them with a unique gift that\u2019s \u201cout of the box\u201d great! If they see something they love, remind them to add it to their own Elfster wish list to give you a few hints&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need help?
