It kind of sneaks up on you quickly and with each passing year, it gets harder to find a unique, meaningful gift. If your Dad loves the outdoors, then I’ve got you covered with some practical gift ideas I think you will appreciate. Let’s go!
Chainsaws and Firewood
- Felling Wedges : He already has a couple but having a few more is always helpful
- Sharpening Tools: He will appreciate a STIHL or Husqvarna “2-in-1 Sharpener”. Just ask your mom to find the chainsaw make and model number on the side of his saw, and your local chainsaw shop will give you the right “2-in-1” sharpener for his chain pitch.
- Measuring Firewood Length: Two great Made In America options for him
