Shopping for Dad can be frustrating. When it comes to gifting, your conversation probably goes something like this: "Dad, what do you want for Christmas?" "I don't know. You don't have to get me anything." 

If you're drawing a blank on what to buy the father figure in you life this holiday season, we found 17 presents to help inspire you. They run the gamut, from premium earbuds to leather wallets, from old-school turntables to fly fishing kits. Scroll down and see if anything catches your eye. 

 

A leather wallet

Bellroy

Wallets are one of those items that get a lot of wear and not a lot of care in return. There's a good chance Dad's is coming apart at its seams or bulging uncomfortably from his back pocket. Or, maybe it's in some other sad state of affairs.

If that's the case, the note sleeve wallet from Bellroy will be a welcome improvement to whatever his back pocket currently holds.

 

Bellroy Note Sleeve Wallet, $89.95.

A turntable for all of his vinyl records

Amazon

Listening to vinyl records is popular again. If Dad's thinking of dusting off his collection and buying a new player, the Audio-Technica AT-LP60 is a simple, well-received introduction to the turntable concept. It sounds great, it cleans up nicely, and using it is as easy as plugging in, popping in a record, and hitting start.

 

Audio Technica AT-LP60 Fully Automatic Stereo Turntable System (Silver), $98.

A watch with a canvas strap
