Neck tie
If you're a father, you have no doubt received one of these hypercolored neckbands from your offspring at one time or another, says J. Scott Wilson. The resulting gift is frequently something in colors so bright that protective glasses are required to look at it, and failure to wear a UV-shielding undershirt will leave you with a really strange tan line down the middle of your chest.(Photo by …

Golf ball
NOVELTY GOLF BALLS -- Men who are seen using novelty golf balls on a course are accorded the sort of disdain usually reserved for people who wear T-shirts and gimme caps to polo matches, according to Wilson. Foursomes have become threesomes over less. -
'Cool' T-shirts/shirts
'COOL' T-SHIRTS -- You may think you have a cool dad. He may even be cool, says Wilson. But know this: Your dad's friends, workmates and boss do not know he is cool. Giving him a T-shirt that shows his love for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is only going to confuse the issue.(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)

Grilling/grill
GRILLING TRINKETS -- Just about every man fancies himself a grillmaster. That does not, however, mean that every man wants a Williams-Sonoma nonstick vegetable grilling basket, a fish holder, a remote-operated meat thermometer or a hand-sewn grilling mitt for Father's Day.(Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)

Coffee maker
COFFEE MAKER -- Your father uses the same coffeemaker he did when you were in grade school. This does in no way mean that your father needs or wants a new coffeemaker. Your well-meaning purchase of a Keurig, a Tassimo or some other exotic robot-like java machine will not only be unappreciated, it might actually cause you to collect your inheritance early.(Getty Images)
