It’s notoriously hard to buy a Father’s Day gift. What do you get the man who looked after you for so many years? Another new great BBQ gift seems so cliché. After all, not every guy likes to cook outdoors.

Don’t worry. We’ve come up with six gifts that don’t involve a grill to put a smile on Dad’s face.

1. Rangefinders
In the old days, binoculars were the way to go. Now days, binoculars have evolved into high tech rangefinders, used in a variety of ways.

  • Golfers use rangefinders to find the distance for a perfect putt.
  • Wildlife watchers use rangefinders to get a closer look.
  • Hunters use rangefinders to spot potential game and determine the best method of approach.
  • Photographers use rangefinders for better street and landscape photography.

Prices can range from $199.00 – $1,695.00 depending on style and quality. Binoculars, GPS and laser finders are also good options depending on your needs.
