Questions about gifts for dad

What are good ethical gifts for dad?

Wooden games are a favorite: chess, cribbage, backgammon, mancala and dice sets, handcrafted by Matr Boomie's artisan partners. Leather wallets, card holders, bookends and toiletry bags are good everyday picks.

Are there gifts for dad under $50?

Yes, about half the page. Card wallets, bookends, eyeglass stands, labyrinth games and aprons all come in under $50. Use the price filter to see them.

Why is there no clothing on this page?

We left apparel off so the page shows gifts rather than a wall of t-shirts. Men's clothing is still in our Gifts for Him guide and the clothing department.
