Why sentimental gifts work for dads
Dads get a lot of socks, tools and novelty mugs. A sentimental gift stands out because it tells him what he means to you, something many dads rarely hear out loud. A keepsake he can put on his desk, in the shed or in his office becomes a reminder he'll see every day.
