The Perfect Father’s Day Gift for Your Dad, Based on His Zodiac Sign
In 2024, Father's Day lands on June 16, which means it'll be here before we know it.
There's still some time to shop, but it can still be tough to find the perfect gift for the dad who has everything (or the one who pretends he doesn't want anything at all for the special day). Feeling stumped? We've got you. Lucky for all of us, the zodiac can give us a bit of guidance in terms of finding the right present for each type of dad. Below, we've assigned a great dad gift to every sign of the zodiac.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): Nomatic Travel Pack: $239.99
As the most active and outdoorsy sign of the zodiac, Aries goes first for a reason. If your dad is always looking for his next excursion but does so with a ratty and worn old backpack, it's time to get him a hard-working replacement like this Nomatic Travel Pack. It's the ultimate travel companion, with an all-around zipper that lets it open up wide like a briefcase, 22 handy pockets and even RFID-safe storage, with enough space for a three-day adventure.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Bearpaw Beau Slippers: $69.99
If there's one thing to know about hard-working Taurus dads, it's that they also love moments of comfort and luxury. They're often homebodies who can't get enough of hanging out and relaxing, and a great pair of slippers like Bearpaw's Beau Slippers is just the thing to facilitate some R&R. With a suede upper and cozy well-blend lining, they're great for lounging indoors or even taking outside, with a rain and stain repellant in case of unexpected weather.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20): LâMO Footwear Lyle Flip-Flop: $53.99
For outgoing and casual Gemini dads, however, a different type of footwear is required. These LâMO Footwear Lyle Flip-Flops are ideal for summer days at the beach or on the road, with comfortable wide stripes and extra traction for all kinds of outdoor terrain. They also have cloud-like EVA in the soles for comfort and fun.
