Dear old dad. We don’t know about you, but we’ve taken an unofficial office poll and decided that fathers are some of the toughest people in the world to shop for. It’s not that they’re picky — far from it, in fact. It’s just that most dads go out and buy the things that they really want, and don’t really desire much outside of that. So! If you, like us, experienced a mild panic when you realized that Father’s Day is less than a week away, have no fear; we’ve rounded up some interesting gift options that were inspired by some of our favorite celebrities. Whether your dad reminds you of a manly woodworker like Nick Offerman, a total science geek like Bill Nye, or a lifelong “experimenter” like Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne, we’ve got you — and your pops — covered. Enjoy!
