15 Father’s Day gift ideas by Black brands for retired and empty-nest dads

Lifestyle
For dads with a little more time these days, we’ve rounded up 15 Father’s Day gift ideas by Black brands.
When a dad is brand new to fatherhood, the perfect gift might be something to encourage him along his new journey. When he’s more experienced, the perfect gift may be something that involves time with his children. But what about when he’s retired or an empty nester?
Retired dads have copious amounts of time for their passions and hobbies. If their house is empty, they’re also free to embrace their lifestyle or explore a different one. Life can look like traveling, checking off the bucket list, making progress on his reading list and beyond. After all, he deserves it. He has lived a life that included raising you, an honor you know was humbling.
If you’ve flown the coop and are shopping for a retired dad this year, we’ve compiled a list of suggestions. From the dad whose second home is the golf course to the dad who lives in the kitchen to the dad who’s a major techie dad, here are 15 ideas by Black-owned brands.
