Is it just me or are Father’s Day gifts getting better? My inaugural Father’s Day gift guide was in 2010, and I had to dig deep to find things beyond ties and “#1 Dad” tees. Those traditional gifts are still around but I am blown away by all the options now! Things like indoor gardens and unique personalized gifts are really mixing it up this year. Here are my 12 top picks for Father’s Day gifts on a budget:
