Organizing feels like a luxury, and you might feel guilty or irresponsible spending too much money on it. But there’s a logical fallacy here.

Read MoreI feel like dads can be notoriously hard to buy for. My dad always buys things he needs right away (he’s v. into efficiency, and shopping), so it requires a lot of ingenuity and Googling to find him something he hasn’t already gotten for himself. If this is the same for you and your dad, fret not! I’ve done the research and amassed what I think is a pretty great list for any dad in your life.
