In Germany, Father's Day is celebrated by groups of men going on hikes with wagons full of wine, beer, and regional foods.

Call it what you will; it seems suspiciously close to a picnic.

In Thailand, people give their dads and grandfathers Canna flowers, which are considered to be "masculine flowers."

Regardless of how you celebrate, here are a few gifts that are sure to please dear ol' dad.

Thank dad for everything while supporting the goal of an AIDS-free generation born in 2015 with a gift from (PRODUCT)RED.

Does your dad already have a garage full of tools? Here's a set that we bet no one has given him: an emergency tool kit for a refugee through the International Rescue Committee.

The IRC was founded in 1933, at the request of Albert Einstein, and helps those affected by devastating humanitarian crises. The $75 kit includes a shovel, spade, pick ax, rubber boots, gloves, hacksaw, and rope, and will be given to a village member to assist in flood recovery efforts.

Have a dad that loves golf? Support his fave weekend hobby without contributing to the whopping 300,000,000 golf balls that are discarded in the US every year, by giving dad the world's first 100% eco-friendly golf balls .

Dixon will recycle his old ones and turn them into things like playground items for kids. They'll even credit up to $6 per dozen towards new Dixon Earth golf balls. Their factories are eco-friendly too!

Can't be talked out of the traditional tie? Choose one that's fair trade here.

Want to go super eco-friendly? Don't buy him a thing – get him an experience instead! Sign him up for a rock-climbing lesson, rent him a kayak or take him to a ballgame. Try Tickets for Charity to snag seats at dad's favorite events while supporting great causes.

The memories will last way longer than a digital keychain, won't take up any space in a garage, closet, or drawer, and are guaranteed to never go out of style.
