You’re going to want the typewriter

If you're still searching for the perfect Father's Day gift, you're not alone. Dads are notoriously hard to shop for, and unlike moms, you don't have flowers to fall back on. But if your dad loves to build things or do projects, we have the perfect gift idea: retro Lego sets that are inspired by vintage toys and electronics. Some of them are multiple builds in one, so they'll give your dad hours of fun building time and up to three cool displays he can put together.

You might think Lego sets are for kids, but these sets are definitely not. In fact, the brand has whole lines of building sets for adults with more pieces, complex instructions and final results that give you gorgeous pieces you can put on display. The ones we've rounded up include a retro camera, a roller skate straight out of the 1980s, a typewriter that any literary dad will absolutely love and more.
