My dad is impossible to shop for, but this YETI beach chair is the best Father's Day gift I've ever given him
My dad is famously difficult to shop for, which makes Father's Day one of my most dreaded public holidays. Every Christmas he gets pajamas, and when his birthday rolls around in February, I usually scrape the bottom of the barrel with some sort of novelty sock.
It's not because I don't want to lavish him with gifts. Far from it. I'm dying to upgrade his rusty old lawnmower or treat him to a fancy new gas grill. But my dad, like many, is a practical and sentimental man. He doesn't want anything, and if he does, he'd probably prefer to buy it for himself.
This Father's Day, however, I've found the perfect gift that I didn't even know existed. So dad, if you're reading this, look away now.
Here are 3 reasons why the new YETI Hondo beach chair is the ideal gift for the dad who has everything.
Available in two colorways and constructed from breathable, UV-resistant fabric, the YETI Hondo Beach Chair is an ideal gift for fathers.
There's nothing my dad loves more than a trip to the beach. On summer weekends when I was a kid, he'd spontaneously pack the family into the car for a day by the sea, and they're some of our happiest memories together.
But in recent years, he's switched from a beach towel to a chair, packing a rusty old camping seat into the trunk so he can soak up some rays in a more upright position.
I confess, I didn't know beach chairs even existed until I heard of the Hondo, but its low-lying reclining position is truly ideal for beach lounging, and it has four reclining positions for maximum comfort.

So long, rusty camping chair, there's a new seat in town.
I don't think my dad will mind me saying that he'll find the wider dimensions of this beach chair especially comfortable. The top review on the YETI site is titled "a huge win for bigger guys," and I'm inclined to agree.
The reviewer says, "I have embarrassed myself 4 times on a public beach in front of hundreds of people, breaking every beach chair I've bought until now. Thanks guys, this thing is 'me-proof'."
The lightweight and durable FlexGrid fabric claims to support up to 350 pounds, and the seat itself is 26.5 inches wide. So it's a gift that most dads can enjoy.
Despite its wide dimensions and sturdy construction, this thing is surprisingly lightweight, weighing in at under 12 pounds. Its removable strap attaches easily onto each side of the chair to allow you to pop it over your shoulder or even wear it cross-body as you make your way across the beach to find that perfect sunbathing spot.
Because of its portable design, you could also happily take the Hondo camping or on fishing trips, where you might have a considerable walk from your car to your destination. The strap is even padded, so and I found it very comfortable on my shoulder.

11 Practical Father's Day Gifts
Father's Day is nigh, so it's time for the annual late spring PSA: Dads are notoriously hard to shop for. Maybe it's the constant refrain of 'don't worry about me, I don't need anything.' Maybe you don't want to watch another present you thought long and hard about makes its way into the dusty graveyard of unused gifts. Or maybe his cupboard simply cannot fit another version of the requisite 'World's Greatest Dad' mug. Whatever the reason, it can pretty much knock the wind out of your gift-giving don't worry, all hope is not lost — there are a few things to buy for Dad that he'll actually use. And rather than spend the countdown to Father's Day agonizing over how to prove this statement true, you can just peruse our our list below, you'll find giftable versions of practical, downright necessary items, at least one of which your father won't be able to turn down. Even better: you can get all of them quickly and easily, because they all come from Target. So read on, and give yourself one less thing to worry about between now and Sunday, June 15. If his gym bag has seen better days And speaking of gym rats, if Dad does hit the gym regularly, there's a good chance his gym bag has seen better days (they can get stinky and ratty pretty quick). Upgrade him with this incredibly durable, subtly chic, and surprisingly affordable 21.5-inch duffle. It'll fit his workout and shower gear with room to spare, and he can even wear it as a backpack when his hands are $29.99 If he moves his body at all Everyone loves (and most likely needs) a massage — including the dad who doesn't normally go for that kind of thing. So if he doesn't have a Theragun, get him one. It's the simplest route to some necessary muscle relaxation. Price: $319.99 If he's a suit-and-tie guy Dads with dressier wardrobes may not need a new gym bag, but they're bound to appreciate a good garment bag or (if they already have one) two. This 5-stars-only option from Target's Open Story private label has a large main compartment, two smaller zippered pockets for smaller items, and built-in luggage strap. Price: $24.99 If he's a music man For dads who love music, this all-in-one sound system will definitely see some action. In addition to the three-speed turntable and bookshelf speakers, it also has bluetooth connectivity that'll let him stream music from any compatible device, and manual outputs that connect to existing stereo $139.99 If he likes a close shave Upgrade Dad's shaving game with this dermatologist-tested shaving kit. It comes with a safety razor, beard-lifting shaving brush, replacement blades, pre-shave oil, shaving cream, and a post-shave balm. The combination of a quality equipment and moisturizing, non-comedogenic ingredients promises to prevent razor bumps, reduce skin irritation, and, when used regularly, make skin softer and smoother overall. Price: $89.99 If he's looking far ahead Whether he's into hiking, birding, stargazing, or just spying on the neighbors, a decent pair of binoculars will definitely come in handy. This pair provides an ultra-high definition view. They're also designed to be lightweight and extremely $169.99 If his camping chair is on its last legs Camping, tailgating, sitting on the sidelines at a middle school soccer game — a plain old camping chair is fine, but this portable, full-size rocking chair with a cozy sling seat is definitely better. It's also very highly $90 (available in two colors) If he's loves a great cup of coffee If Dad downs java like it's his job, there's really no excuse for not having a Bialetti Moka stovetop espresso maker. It's simple (analog and easy-to-clean), affordable and cost-effective (no filters or pods to buy), and makes a smooth — and strong — Italian-style cup in less than 5 minutes. Price: $39.99 (originally $44.99) If he cooks… pretty much anything Even if Dad's only dish is scrambled eggs, he should be doing it in a Lodge cast iron. This best-in-class skillet is naturally non-stick; can be used on a grill, in the oven, or on a stovetop; and, if you care for it properly, will last foreverPrice: $29.90 If he's into… pretty much anything It's pricy, but even diehard Luddite dads will find it hard to deny the universal appeal of an iPad. It's also a great gift if he already has one but hasn't upgraded in a few $299.99+ (originally $349.99+; available in three sizes and four colors) If he's running low on staples 'Boring' items can sometimes make the best gifts. These totally un-fancy crew socks and 4-pack of plain white tees pictured from Target house brand Goodfellow may seem 11th-hour buys, but if Dad is a fan of these ubiquitous basics, they're actually quite thoughtful. Get the tees in sizes S–XXL and in black and the socks in black or $20 for the four-pack of tees and $10 for the six-pack of socks
