Most-ordered dad-Christmas sizes: 10×20" ($69) for his office, 20×40" ($149) for his man-cave. Order by December 8.
Why most dad Christmas gifts miss
Ties, golf balls, BBQ tools, beer subscriptions, ugly sweaters — he has them all. The gift dad keeps is one tied to his identity: his favorite song printed on canvas, his guitar on canvas, or his anthem on a metal sign for the garage.
