Father’s Day is this weekend — Sunday, June 21 — so if you haven’t yet ordered a gift for dad, it’s officially crunch time. We all know some dads can be very busy people — from balancing work events and perfecting the lawn to making it to all of your family gatherings. Ifyourdad has a lot on his plate (like mine), I’ve rounded up items that will make his life easier, all of which are under $50. Whether yours is an outdoorsy dad, techie dad, or anextra pickydad, there’s a thoughtful, time-saving gift for him here.
Many of the picks below are still expected to arrive by Father’s Day if you order soon, but as Sunday gets closer, stock and shipping times will change. So if you see something you like, don’t wait — availability is subject to change as we near the holiday.
