There are three things you can always count on from Designer Daddy: I try to defy stereotypes, especially as they relate to fatherhood. I’m always happy to judge help other dads be a bit more stylish. My giveaways are pretty damn good, if I do say so myself.
This year I’ve combined all three tenets of my blog into a Megazord of fatherly freebies, to bring you the most epic Father’s Day Gift Guide & Giveaway ever!
So please scroll through this awesome list of goodies (from some awesomely generous companies), get some Father’s Day shopping inspiration, and then enter to win the whole shebang!

Three new books by and for modern dads
Giveaway prize: The Life of Dad, Raising Empowered Daughters, and Anyone Can Be President, value $40
So while Dad’s drinking bourbon by the pool in his new swim trunks and sunglasses, he’s gonna need something to read. I highly recommend any (okay, ALL) of these great reads from dads with their fingers on the pulse (or funny bone) of modern fatherhood. The Life of Dad is a collection of advice, wisdom, and practical life skills featuring an all-star cast of fathers that includes Shaquille O’Neal, Henry Winkler, Ice Cube, Mark Hamill and tons more. Raising Empowered Daughters: A Dad-to-Dad Guide is a handbook for dads to help their daughters resist the patriarchy. Full of humor, insight, and hard, important truths. Anyone Can Be President: The Super-Smart Guide to Being Ruler of the Free World is a satirical (or is it?) how-to for anyone aspiring to be the leader of the free world. Includes practical advice, historical knowledge, heaps of snark, and really fun quizzes.
