Gift Guides

The Gift Guide for Cool Dads by Josh Schwartz

As the man behind seminal shows The O.C., Chuck, Gossip Girl, and Marvel’s Runaways, Josh Schwartz was not only the first to put cool nerds on the TV map (hello Seth Cohen and Chuck Bartowski), but he has remained equally loyal to the archetypal TV cool dad (hello Peter Gallagher as the laid-back-surf-loving-do-gooder dad from The O.C.; Matthew Settle as the ex-rock-star-laid-back-Brooklyn-dad from Gossip Girl). And, most importantly, he is the ultimate cool nerd dad himself. AND, let us never forget, the creator of Chrismukkah. 

Needless to say, he was our first call for this guide.
