Is your dad an experienced father? His children might span Gen X, millennial and Gen Z. His hair could be salt-and-pepper or completely gray. His age might range between mid-40s and early 60s. He’s not a new or young dad, but he’s also not a retired dad. He’s a veteran of fatherhood.
If so, you have come to the right Father’s Day gift guide. Shopping for an “Experienced Dad” can be daunting. Popsicle stick crafts and hand-drawn cards were hot commodities when everyone was much younger. But like piggy banks became actual bank accounts and fatherly advice shifted from basic safety to financial security, it’s time to level up the gifts.
While we know nothing truly beats seeing his children thrive, we’ve gathered a handful of meaningful gifts from Black brands that might compete. From the plant dads to the tech dads and the grillmaster dads, we’ve thought of something for a variety of experienced fathers.
