Real-Life Dad Spills on What Dads Really Want for Father’s Day

I'd like to think that I'm pretty good at figuring out what to give my husband for Father's Day. There was the year I gave him tickets to see the Philadelphia Phillies and the year I took him on a trip to Canada for the weekend.

This year though...ugh! I've been struggling badly with coming up with the perfect gift for the man who is the most incredible father I've ever known. So, I told my husband I was writing an article about Father's Day gifts and wanted some input from an actual dad on what he'd like if money were no option.

Jay's first two answers were that he would like one night of eight hours of interrupted sleep and the second was a pair of baseball tickets. Then, I asked him to look through Amazon and send me links to what he thinks dads would want for Father's Day (see what I did there?).

If you're looking for inspiration on what to get the father in your life for his big day, Father's Day which is on June 20), I give you this list of things my husband wishes for. Some of the things on the list are crazy expensive and probably out of your (and my) budget, but if any of these spark an idea, my work is done.
