Darren Graham and his son Ducky are, for lack of better words, an iconic duo. The WhoWhatWear editor and his adorable son regularly share their outfits in the viral “Ducky + Dada” series – but watch just one video and you’ll quickly realize that turning a look is actually Graham’s second most impressive skillset. The first is Graham’s warmth, encouragement, and natural instinct to guide Ducky as he learns to express himself.
Earlier this year, Graham shared his experience adopting Ducky as a single father with People Magazine: “I always knew I wanted to be a father, but I also knew I wasn’t going to wait for life to look ‘perfect’ before stepping into it because love doesn’t wait for perfect timing.” And, when it came to finding the confidence to do it on his own, Graham expressed, “I am the product of a single mother, so I figured, why not? My mother displayed consistency, strength, bravery, resilience and humility. I had the best example at ‘possibility.’”
When our editorial team met to discuss our Father’s Day plans a few weeks ago, Graham was the first person whose thoughts we wanted when it came to actually-good gifts for dads. Below, the content creator, editor, and brains behind the “yeah so…” journals (launching this summer and designed to help slow down, reflect, and be honest with yourself) shares 12 gifts worth considering for dads.
