Dads are hard enough to buy gifts for, but auto-enthusiast dads take the cake. Buying for them is impossible. Car-loving dads already have every tool imaginable. They’ve got garages, workshops, and closets piled high with stuff, and they know what each and every item is and what it’s for. So what to do? This year, give your car-fanatic dad what he really wants—a gift card to his favorite automotive retailer, so Dad can buy whatever the heck he knows he wants or needs.
Gift cards are the best gift ever for dads. When you give a gift card to a dad, no one gives you that look of polite (but never-ending) disappointment, and no one feels like they wasted their hard-earned money on an ungrateful codger who’s impossible to please. It’s a win-win.
We kid, we kid. We love our dads, and we know they love their cars. But they really are hard to shop for. What do you get the man who has everything—except for that one particular doohickey he really needs? Here are nine great automotive gifts cards that any car-loving dad will appreciate this Father’s Day.
