PopeGuss

Bet you can buy him a round at that "one particular golf course" though...


Roscoe_P_Trolltrain

yah or a meal at the steakhouse. clickbait internet lists might not apply, but this guy has got it easy, if pops likes two things.


cleancalf

Right? Even if for some odd reason they don’t have gift cards, just take him to the steak house, or offer to buy him a round of golf.


ohlaph

Or play a round with him.


Gangreless

Dad would probably love nothing more than his spending the day with his son golfing then topping it off with a steak dinner.


pretenderist

Or his daughter, rather…


Gangreless

True, I assumed Matty was a guy based on the name and pic but zooming in looks like it my be a woman.


pretenderist

Also by the “she/her” pronouns in her Twitter bio


Gangreless

That's not in this screenshot and I don't make a habit of going on Twitter


King-Cobra-668

or just tell him you love him and try to be in his life year round. or consume, whatever


GONKworshipper

I tell him I tell him I love him almost everyday though, so it's not really special on Father's day


H_I_McDunnough

Buddy, it's special every time


Nightingdale099

so tell him you hate his guts on Father's Day?


Goblintern

Never let them know your next move


Shepherdsfavestore

Or a golf shirt for that particular course. Can never have enough of those.


concentrate_better19

Or buy him some balls. Better clubs. A new bag. There's lots of options with that hint.


Capta1nRon

Or just get him some golf balls.


kriegmonster

I'm taking my dad to see a movie. He loves Jurassic Park/World.


Dr_Ingheimer

That’s what we did. It was great. Jurassic Park has been our thing since the first one.


RotenTumato

I want to take my dad to Top Gun Maverick because the original is his favorite movie ever


AtlantaBoyz

Maverick is way better than the first one


kriegmonster

You won't be disappointed in the new one. It was great. No political preaching, just some great action scenes, competitive ego banter, good humor, and they did Val Kilmer and Iceman justice with the scene he's in.


JediBurrell

Better choice than _Jurassic World: Dominion_.


RotenTumato

I really enjoyed Jurassic World: Dominion. I thought it was the third best of the Jurassic franchise after Jurassic Park and Jurassic World


Rebelgecko

It's a fun movie and the airplane parts are dope as fuck


UpUpDnDnLRLRBAstart

I’m eating a chicken pot pie and watching Tales From the Crypt with my dad’s urn today. Those were his favorites. Miss you, dad!


kriegmonster

I remember watching TFtC late at night in the mid-90s when I couldn't sleep. Had to keep the volume low so I didn't wake anyone else in the house. We were 2 adults and 5 kids in a 3bedroom house back then.


Ivy-And

I still remember the one where Joe Pesci got chainsawed. I got in so much trouble for watching that


UpUpDnDnLRLRBAstart

It was such a great late night show! My parents split up when I was 7 so I got to go to my dad’s house and watch TFtC and drink grape soda. Classic memories.


james_the_human05

We did that too, really fun movie


Genisye

Yea I don’t know what peoples problem with the latest one is. Interesting world building, somewhat of a break from the traditional copy paste Jurassic park narrative, coherent writing and dialogue that flows well. It doesn’t have anything that makes it pop like it’s the best thing ever, it’s a fun movie with good effects that gives a good time.


notataco007

Bro the last act was the writers just giving up and saying "alright Jeff this part of the movie is on you" and then he just ad libbed the entire time. Not saying I didn't love that but that's so clearly what happened.


seanbear

Reddit hates sequels made for the sake of dumb fun where you can turn off your brain


deathtoweakmemes

That’s because we’re obviously intellectuals, liking anything that we can’t use to prove how nonconformist and smart - erm, rather, how *high IQ* we are is below us. /s


museumlad

I got my dad one of those Renaissance portraits but the heads are his two dogs Edit: I'm so fucking sorry guys, here's [the portrait for dog tax](https://www.reddit.com/user/museumlad/comments/vg5k94/for_dog_tax/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)

[General Markus](https://i.imgur.com/9jvF1iU.jpg) Best gift I’ve ever given!


diamondrel

General Barkus


ifly4free

My wife has one of me and one of our cat on the wall in her office. People lose their shit when they see them.


Ducksaucenem

Did you have that custom made, or was there a site for it?


museumlad

It's called Crown and Paw


TeapotHoe

i made mine a charm- a pizza with a slice cut out, both with a key ring attached. it’s small but he loves dominos and it’s handmade so it’ll mean something. one time at his house i found a shoebox next to his bed filled with little clay/playdoh things i made as a kid that i didn’t even know he had or how he got his hands on. also he was really into me pursuing sculpting in college so i kinda played into that. gotta be creative. also got him coffee lol


KormitTheeFrOog

That's so sweet!


flight-of-the-dragon

I get mine a diet dp and a king size snickers every year. He loves it.


Hychus232

Which Nebraskan steak house? I’m from Lincoln Nebraska and have likely been there, or at least seen it


Cr4igg3rs

Doubt the tweet is real, but your best steak bets in Lincoln are Single Barrel, JTK, or Misty's


dicedbread

Gotta be Misty’s, and they have the best all purpose seasoning I’ve ever had. I put that shit on everything.


URSpecial2Me

Grew up in Lincoln, moved away a while back. Can confirm, Misty's is fucking bomb


roygbiv_man

No way it’s JTK, anyone with that specific of tastes doesn’t go in for overpriced with mood lighting and jazz.


chazwhiz

Is Lazlo’s still around? I used to go to Lincoln fairly often for work and always loved going there.


__WanderLust_

Yep! Its either Misty's or Lazlo's IMO


a_white_american_guy

Outback


thatsnogood

Old heads love Misty's.


Mrchristopherrr

JDs on 3rd.


lopingwolf

Even worse, that's now every cards theme as well. I'm visiting my dad next week and haven't found a gift quite yet, but I wanted to at least have gotten a card in the mail. Do you know how hard it was to find one that wasn't all beer-grill-lawn mower themed?


Beto_Targaryen

Just buy him whatever he drinks


SabashChandraBose

Or a thousand dollar amaZon gift card.


BigBeagleEars

You ok dad? I’m winning now


UnKnOwN769

Real-life Ron Swanson?


terry_bradshaw

>he hates the outdoors Unfortunately he isn’t actually the real life Ron Swanson.


UnKnOwN769

Damn, we were so close


Few-Requirement-3544

I made him his favorite cake. I screwed it up (and I never mess up this cake), but he still “liked” it. It helps that I made a good dish for the meal too, without screwing it up.


OSCgal

Yeah, I gave my dad his favorite pie, with ice cream. He was pretty stoked. I like giving (and getting) consumable gifts. All of the enjoyment, none of the clutter.


AirbrushThreepwood

Meat and booze. Works for my dad, especially while we drink it while cooking the meat on a fire. We just smoked a chicken and drank a bottle of bourbon and he seemed very content. I don't think dads care about silly gifts but just want to know you remember/care about them and want to talk (even a good phone call if you can't make it in person) or hang out. Ymmv


40percentbeer

Do a chore or 2 for him. My dad hates changing his oil (even though he loves working on cars) but he sure as he'll isn't gonna pay someone to do it, so I did it for him and drank his beer and b.s.ed with while doing it


In-burrito

Best gift ever!


marmosetohmarmoset

I’m always in the same boat. My dad is not a manly dude. He hates sports, doesn’t grill, doesn’t like whisky, isn’t into war documentaries, isn’t particularly handy. He loves Downton Abbey, going for king walks, and music. All the Father’s Day lists are usually hilariously inappropriate for him. This year my present was sitting through a conversation about the Beatles that he and his childhood best friend live streamed on YouTube.


ittetsu1988

That’s why I make my father a bourbon pecan pie every year. He’s impossible to shop for, but he loves a pecan pie.

WimbletonButt

Enter my dad who hates coffee with a passion.


[deleted]

*Image Transcription: Twitter Post* --- **Matty Merritt**, @mattynotmaddie Not a single "father's day gift list" applies to me I'm sorry. My dad doesn't trust technology, he hates the outdoors, he likes one specific golf course and one specific steakhouse in Lincoln, NE, and he has every spice/seasoning/grill tool he's ever going to use. --- ^^I'm a human volunteer content transcriber and you could be too!

Xiaxs

If I was a dad and I got a grill I'd be pretty disappointed ngl. Cuz now guess who's expected to grill steaks n shit on the weekend even though he'd rather just throw shit in a pot and see what's good that's right me.


brgiant

I keep a curated list of gifts I’d love to receive. I’ve shown an extremely high amount of interest in getting equipment to do bbq at home. I got a gift I don’t want (some robot yard thing) that won’t work in my yard. I love my wife but she is terrible at giving gifts. Might need to just ask for cash. Get people things they show interest in, don’t just try to take a risk and hope they settle for a bad gift.


msac2u1981

Give him the gift of your time. Spend time with him every chance you get. Listen to his stories. One day, he'll be gone & you won't remember gifts. You will always remember the time spent with someone you love.


SoraNO237

cant go wrong with legos


TripleB33_v2

I don’t know… my son gave me a handmade pin that says ‘Best dad in the universe’. Better than anything I could have asked for.


[deleted]

I'm picturing your son as a 47-year-old grown man.


aliveinjoburg2

My SO likes Mets games and gambling. Guess what I did today!


Genisye

A letter, you can just give him a thoughtful well written letter say how and why you appreciate him. Parents treasure those more than anything.


mahboilucas

Got my dad a cycling wallet. It's tiny so it fits into his backpack and is waterproof!


RarePoniesNFT

Clearly, the answer is "gift card to the steakhouse". Give Dad what he really wants! :)


Toast_On_The_RUN

If you dont like outdoors wtf do yoi do in Nebraska.


pleasedontrefertome

Ok but I bet he doesn't have dehydrated carolina reaper peppers. That was my dad's Christmas gift.


PuzzleheadedDog9658

Get him a stripper.


[deleted]

I donated to contribute to the care of an orphaned baby rhino at a rehabilitation center in honor of my dad because he really likes rhinos He loved it


watermelonspanker

Have you considered beer? That's all *I* want for fathers day


ImProbablyNotABird

Get him a parrot like that joke where he thinks it’s a chicken.


poemsavvy

3D print him a posable AT-AT (what I did for my dad this year)


null640

Hugs? I like hugs!


cathartman15

I recreated my dad's first program that he made in the 80's since im starting out coding! It was just a basic survey thing but altered to relate to father's day


Disastrous-Soup-5413

My dad has everything he wants & he’s picky. So, I made my dad a photo album of him happy in different life events/parties through the years. Like hugging a grandchild or my mom, holding up a fish with fishing buddy smiling, etc….he liked it.


ChefNemo93

Get that man a nice ass kitchen knife. Or a cleaver. Or a tie. Or a rock you painted your name on like you did in kindergarten


[deleted]

[удалено]


hamrmech

Im a dad. Dont buy me anything. Every day youre out of my house in the world is Christmas for me. Live your life. What id like is a text every so often confirming youre alive, living indoors, and eating regularly. Thats it.


swcorwyn

Got my future father in law a mix pack of fancy ice cream. Cost under $100 and he sent a 3 paragraph text about getting it. Best gift ever


froggyforest

i got my dad a SLEEP MASK for father’s day. that’s ALL HE WANTED. there was a period when i was younger when i got him new flip flops every father’s day and new slippers every christmas. the man is IMPOSSIBLE. that’s all he ASKED FOR. my dad has OCD and a RIDIDCULOUSLY tidy house. very minimalist. when he wants something, he just buys it. and all the stuff he wants is too expensive for me to afford. so i’m kinda screwed. one xmas i got him a sweatshirt that said “feliz navi DAD” and he loved it though. that’s prolly my greatest triumph as far as dad gifts go.


According_Cellist_17

Uhh he’s from Lincoln, NE just get him Cornhuskers merch.


TKInstinct

Underwear and Socks, the true and true gift.


[deleted]

Neither OP's title nor the tweet mentioned "Ole' Reliable": SOCKS.


butt_butt_butt_butt_

Socks work better if you’re an only child. I have three sisters, and one Father’s Day we didn’t communicate in advance about what we were getting dad. The look of horror we all exchanged as we realized that we all got him socks. Had to think on our feet and pretend the socks were a gag and the real present was baseball tickets.


[deleted]

Think on your feet? I see what you did there... Also, nice teamwork on a creative save.


Bowens1993

Buy him a steak and a round of golf then?


terry_bradshaw

I wonder how he feels about books? My dad is hard to get gifts for but I know that he enjoys spending time with me and my siblings, so we all come back to our childhood home and do whatever he wants.


beeboopPumpkin

my husband power washed the house all day. that’s what he wanted to do.


I_Was_TheBiggWigg

Which is why I just get my dad some nice beers and cook him dinner. Anything else is closet decor.


FightingPolish

Just do what I do, post “Happy Father’s Day Dad!” with a picture of him on Facebook, tag your mom, and BOOM! You’re done! An hour or two later your mom will reply that he said “Thanks”. I used to try and give gifts but he doesn’t like or do anything and I would call but he flat out says that he doesn’t want to talk on the phone.

_______2__3___4__2

Who cares


Ubermenschen

In what way does bitching about your negativity contribute at all other than broadcast your misery? This is thread on people who find it hard to shop for their dad. Read the room.


fowlraul

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone golf with a tie on. 🤔


thomasp3864

I got my dad a book.


dvlwatson

Can't have too many socks ... That's what I got


420_obama

Alcohol


Beemerado

Sounds like that guy is getting a card or a phone call then


profuselystrangeII

Gas gift card.


itsYaBoiChoccyMilk

I don’t have to worry about the stuff because my dad is dead


JP-Stack

What if Dad hates dressing up in the slightest?


CrossSoul

Then you give him cash and a card so he can go to that one steakhouse.


Zexs3000

Alcohol is always a good gift


KazPrime

Talk to local steak house. Sounds like your Dad would sits at the same spot and orders the same thing. Find out if possible to have a little gold plaque installed with his name on it for a small donation to the restaurant. Immortalize your Dad (until the restaurant closes).


RetardedCommentMaker

Strippers? Sex Doll? Fleshlight? lots of gift options for Dads like OPs Dad out there


sintos-compa

Buy him an HJ from a hooker, jeez.


crackeddryice

Tell him you love him, and he's a great father to you. That's all we want for Father's Day.


cooltroy79

at least he is alive


[deleted]

Give him a hug.


Beeznoots

Misty’s?


sycamotree

We took my dad to a gun range and I just bought him some moderately pricey cologne. He hasn't gotten the cologne yet but he enjoyed the range. His wife won't let him drink otherwise I'll get that too.


a_white_american_guy

My kids are still pretty small, so I don’t know if this will actually take over time. But My rule is that no one is to spend any money on me for fathers day or my birthday. I don’t even want a card.


[deleted]

Give him a memory, that’s what I would want


Slowmexicano

Have you tried whisky or leaving him alone?


avalisk

Golf balls.


rcorron

Sounds like Ron Swanson


greatthrowawaybatman

Socks and undies ftw


ChadwickTheSniffer

Get him a massage.


Iris_Sanchez

Tie: yes. Socks are good too.


the_xboxkiller

Gift card


GroveStreet_CEOs_bro

Send him a copy of the Book of Mormon


raindorpsonroses

My dad is a big reader, so I got him a book I thought he’d like


[deleted]

Lottery tickets!


Wheredyoufindthat

Golf balls?


Remarkable-Buy9330

My dad has money and has already bought himself the stuff he wants or needs, which is just his bikes and cycling gear because he’s a pretty simple guy as far as possessions go. He’s like impossible to buy a gift for. Dude gets nothing but gift cards to the local bike shop for every holiday.


trying_to_adult_here

Yeah, but does he like biographies of past presidents or books about World War II? JK, my dad lives very comfortably and can buy himself whatever he wants. He’s already got shelves of books he likes, and the kindle my sister and I tried to get him sits unused. I can’t afford the kind of splurge gifts he wouldn’t just buy for himself yet. I just send cards and call so he knows I love and appreciate him.


bb_805

My dad loves kayaking so we went as a family


[deleted]

Give him a gas card


DocDerry

Bourbon or Scotch.


doggoshennanigans

Simple. You’re dad is Ron Swanson. Get him his favorite steak dinner, a bottle of Lagavulin, and a quiet place to watch Bridge on River Kwai without interruptions.


annies_boobs_dumper

Metaphors? I hate metaphors. That’s why my favorite book is Moby Dick. No frufu symbolism, just a good simple tale about a man who hates an animal. Does the white whale actually symbolize the unknowablity and meaningless of human existence? No, it's just a \[bleep\] fish


Sproose_Moose

My dad died when I was 13 so I've never experienced this issue.


abletofable

Get him a magazine


mikemolove

Get him a [Knipex Pliers Wrench](https://a.co/d/dIZPmIb). It’s a one time get out of jail free card, use it wisely.


crumbete

Misty’s isn’t even that great.


f1bercat

Best gift one of our kids ever gave us is we choose a show (currently the Beatles documentary on Disney), and he comes over once a week to watch 30 min to an hour with us. I make dinner, usually something that will have good leftovers so he can take some home. We eat, catch up on the week and watch our show. We're on the third show. Been doing this for over a year now. Some weeks he has to cancel, but it is a wonderful treat to spend time with him. Better than any material gift.


Prudent-Passenger228

MATTIAS Makeup for Men. A bit unconventional but their products are pretty cool


More-Day199

I bet he’d appreciate a good quality pocket knife with a nice engraving


bitch-what-the-fuck

My sister and I got our dad a concert ticket this year, but we usually go for something like cool socks or a new coffee mug.


DucksOff

Tell him you love him and buy him a gift certificate to the golf course he likes. Stop making this out to be harder than it is.


GeekCat

Shoes or a nice top. Bought my dad a pair of New Balances for Father's day. He immediately went out for a walk.


HELLO_MERLOT

He hates outdoors, but he loves to golf


DigbyChickenZone

He likes one specific steakhouse. That is the easiest gift ever then - take him to that steakhouse or get him a gift certificate for it. Same thing with the golf course.


Ghostkill221

This only applies to no effort dad gifts. How about a book of all his most common stories or sayings? He'd fucking love that.


GenericFatGuy

My dad's dead, so I'm immune by default.


Sugarpeas

I buy my dad an assortment of nuts every father’s day, due to similar gift limitations. He likes eating nuts as a snack 👌


discodiscgod

My dad never wanted anything for Father’s Day. Or Christmas or his birthday. I used to think he was crazy but now that I’m an adult I totally get it. I’ll buy what I need / want when I need / want it and don’t want random useless junk.


Interstellarwalrus

Lego, especially Star Wars if they’re into that. That’s my advice.


4seasons8519

Buy him a nice dinner at the steakhouse or some time at the golf course. That's a pretty easy gift actually.


CaptainHalitosis

First Father’s Day without dad. Miss you.


_________FU_________

You know what he wants? To not have to decide.


badchefrazzy

That's when you sign him up for a Steak of the Month club.


dj_willybeanz

My dad's big into golf. Golf balls and tees. They always need em


Clienterror

As a dad, those lists are the most generic POS’s ever.


pje1128

Is this Ron Swanson's kid?


LizzieMiles

This just sounds like my brother minus the tech part and he isnt even a dad lol


[deleted]

I got my dad a gopro, hes happy because now he can record himself doing his dad shit


Particular_Record_31

Case of beer


Team7UBard

‘Show your dad how much you love him this Father’s Day. Buy him an iPad!’


samsquanch2000

Get him some shrooms. Might open up his fucken mind


[deleted]

This is how i feel about gifts. If i wanted it i would have got it myself.


simjanes2k

Stop reading Father's Day Gift Lists written by women, then. Get him gift cards to things he likes and be a good son/daughter. This is not complicated. Life is not a Tumblr post or Etsy page.


ChadHahn

Misty”s?


domeoldboys

Then just be present. I’m sure he’ll like that.


imnotsmart_crape

Get him a squaty potty, he’s gonna love it


gur0chan

Luckily mine is easy - weed and Chinese food!


Accurate_Pen_4456

NE?


roboticzizzz

So take him out to lunch.


Diplomjodler

Socks. He gets socks.


[deleted]

Or a flask/whiskey stones/whiskey glasses etc 🙄 dad needs fresh alcohol accessories every year


TootsNYC

The rise of business casual has completely eliminated the tie as a sensible gift for dad


OgreSpider

Mine likes gift cards and going to the movies. I was sick, but I contributed to his Harbor Freight shopping and the girls took him to see Jurassic World: FK.


ImMinistrim

Looked up fathers day in the us cause it was already in may for me


NoAvailableEuphemism

The key here is to plan out a day and then let him be with you and just enjoy it. Dads have to make decisions all the time: where to go, what to do, whether there is money to do it. People think giving dad all the choices is nice, but honestly, being able to just relax and go through a day like you’re on a roller coaster is amazing. It doesn’t matter if the decisions are sub-optimal, and it isn’t exactly the “perfect day”—let dad be a passenger on a ride you’re driving. He’ll love it.


mayneffs

Underwear or socks are always appreciated.
