Find the perfect Father’s Day gift for the "other" best dad in your life.

Gift shopping for anyone takes skill and a little finesse. Sometimes finding the right gift for someone you know well is more challenging than shopping for the workplace Secret Santa party. That’s because friends and family expect a little extra thought and personal touch in the gifts you give them. Things get even more complicated when you add unique relationships—stepparents, in-laws, half-siblings—into the mix.

Take godparents, for example. Most of us have a unique relationship with our godfathers and godmothers. They’re not our biological parents, but, in many cases, they’re the next closest thing. They deserve gifts that are almost—or just—as sentimental as the gifts we give our parents. It’s not enough to grab a bland polo shirt for your godfather or a flower bouquet for your god-mom. Sure, those are nice, but you can do better.

With Father’s Day just the corner, we thought it best to round up our picks for the best Father’s Day gifts for godfathers. Whether your god-dad is style-conscious, tech-savvy, a rugged outdoorsman, or an appreciator of self-care, we’ve got you covered.
