I was nervous on the day of my year 10 formal. It was important that I looked perfect. Unlike most other fifteen year olds, my jitters extended beyond the desire for peer acceptance and getting kissed by a cute boy. I was meeting my father for the first time, and I desperately needed it to go well. I wanted him to take one look at me and immediately regret his lifelong absence.
It's Fathers Day this Sunday and the tried and true socks and jocks are not high up on the list of gifts dads want. Research from Vend found that dads most want electronics and alcohol but that buyers were falling back to the usual gifts of socks and jocks.
So you still haven't picked out a Father's Day gift for your old man, eh? Join the club. Instead of grabbing a "World's Greatest Dad" mug or an obligatory slab of beer down the supermarket, show him you care with one of these life-hacking pressies. Categories range from virtual reality to "smart" cooking with prices starting at just $29.
