  • Cash Warren, Co-Founder of Pair of Thieves Follow: @cash_warren

You'll be surprised that there are no ties or iTunes gift cards in this roundup, as our 11 stylish dads prefer items that range from sentimental (custom Nikes with their kids's names monogrammed on the back) to experiential (private golf lessons) to straight-up swaggy (a Louis Vuitton toiletry bag).
