For the most part, men are practical, so get them something they can use. Golf accessories and the latest gadgets are the obvious go-tos, but in our experience, guys are specific about their gadgetry and it's best not to interfere (unless you know exactly what they're eyeing). This year, our Father's Day picks feature hip local products that are sensible, won't break the bank, and will please even the toughest dads.

1. Gangs of San Francisco T-shirt, $30

These timeless designs will bring back memories for the SF born and bred, but are also great for the tech industry t-shirt dad.
