Nike gear is all the rage right now among Gen-Zers, so let dad show off his trendiness with this casual running cap that he can wear when he’s picking up the kids or grandkids from school.

It’ll come in handy for his afternoon couch naps, and he can use it for couch or loveseat décor.

The nine drawers are all lockable so the kids can’t get inside and touch dangerous tools, and it’s sturdy enough to handle heavy weight and on castors for easily wheeling it around.

OK, he still needs to check on it every now and then to sauce, turn, and add his personal touch.
