[Wish Wisp]

Father’s Day is sneaking up faster than my dad finding a left-on light in the house, and if you’re like me (clueless but well-intentioned), finding a gift that won’t just sit in a drawer is critical. Plus, with a budget under $25, we’ve gotta get creative… but not THAT creative (sorry, hand-painted rock, maybe next year). Here are a few finds I’m actually stoked about—and that my dad might not “misplace” after two days.

• Elite Sportz Hookey Ring Toss Game (Amazon, around $22)
  Perfect for dads who’ve perfected the art of backyard lounging. It’s like darts, but without the worry of holes in the drywall. Fun for BBQs or that “friendly” competition after dinner. Plus, it’s safe even if your dad’s aim is as questionable as his grilling outfit.
• Magnetic Wristband by Magnelex (Amazon, about $15)
  If your dad’s ever muttered, “Where did I put that darn screw?”, this is the gift he didn’t know he needed. It safely holds screws, nails, and even small tools on his wrist—like a superhero utility belt, but way more practical for IKEA projects.
• Mug for Dad – “Best Dad Ever: Just Ask My Kids” (Amazon, about $12)
  You can never go wrong with a mug, especially when it’s funny and will guarantee dad feels seen (and probably makes the teens roll their eyes). Bonus: It’s dishwasher safe, so he can’t “accidentally” ruin it like his favorite travel mug from 1992.

In conclusion: whether your dad is the king of the lawn, master of the toolbox, or just a champion coffee drinker, there are awesome gifts out there for under $25 that he’ll actually use—and maybe brag about to his dad friends. Anyone else found a budget-friendly gem this year? Let’s help each other out and keep those dad jokes coming!

• BOOM! Cards Against Humanity Dad Pack (Amazon, about $7)

• Heat Resistant Barbecue Gloves (Amazon, around $15)
  For the dad who believes grilling is a 24/7/365 affair, these gloves are like oven mitts’ cooler cousins. Helps him flip, grip, and protect those digits while ensuring he doesn’t fumble and drop his masterpiece at the neighborhood BBQ. 🔥👐
• Poo-Pourri Toilet Spray (Amazon, about $10)
