​Holiday Gift Guide 2014 for Every Dad

Shopping for your dad can be a challenge. I struggle year after year on what exactly to get my now empty nest father. He's a simple guy who always says "I don't need anything, just time with my children." As nice (and easy) of a gift that would be, we all know that's just not enough.

What do you get a dad then who wants nothing?Luckily, my sports loving father enjoys grilling while drinking a nice glass of wine, and can use a bit of help in the fashion department (that's what daughters are for!). Now that I have a starting point, I've compiled a list of gifts for every kind of dad.

Whether your dad is a sports fanatic like mine, a fitness guru or a techy-nerd, we've found the perfect gifts for him this holiday season.
