Dads are notoriously difficult to shop for during the holidays. They have a tendency to buy anything they need for themselves as needs come up, and many will insist that they don't need anything at all. If they have hobbies, chances are you've bought them every related do-dad that goes along with it already. And please, step away from the whiskey stones - at this point, that's like buying a robe and slippers for your mother.
Buying holiday gifts is easy if you know who you're shopping for. From gifts for homebodies to presents for your type-A friend, there are ideas for every kind of person. But if you're still stumped on what to buy, I recommend going back to the basics. Everyone wants to give gifts their recipient will actually use, after all, which is why I think household essentials - like cute sponges or a fancy dish soap container - make the perfect presents.
