17 gifts for the shed dad
Ordered by how quickly they arrive, then by price. Never by what earns us the most.
The shed dad owns most things, which means price is a poor guide and specificity is everything. He does not need another drill. He needs the attachment for the drill he has, in the size he keeps not buying because it costs eleven dollars and he is already at the counter with something else.
The two categories that work are consumables and the tool he would never buy himself. Consumables because he genuinely runs out, and the good ones cost more than he will pay. The unbought tool because there is always one job he does badly with the wrong implement and has decided to keep doing badly.
Before the next one sneaks up
A reminder, three weeks out.
Nobody plans a gift in advance because nobody remembers the date until it is too late to post anything. We will email you before Father’s Day and before Christmas, with the shortlist already narrowed and the delivery window still open.
