I’m not a dad, at least not yet (or that I know about). But, I do know what dad’s like. I mean, I’m still a guy and just being a dad doesn’t mean you automatically know a better product than a non-dad, unless you wear your kids diapers. That’s for another post though.

It also doesn’t mean you stop primping or man-grooming once you become a father. Even if you don’t have a second to wipe off that dried up birthday cake icing that’s been cemented into your mustache for 2 hours because your focus is on your kid not walking into an in-ground pool. Still gotta look suave and smell good at that 3 year old’s birthday party.

If you’re looking for some solid gift ideas for the dad, grandfather, baby-daddy in your life. Here is a short list of some quality products:
