# Broken Father's Day Gifts Miller Lite Showcases Fix-Pack for Father's Day By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-06-10 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fixpack References: [shop.millerlite](https://shop.millerlite.com/pages/age-gate)  [Miller Lite](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miller-lites) has introduced a limited-edition Father’s Day offering called the Fix-Pack. This imaginative initiative swaps traditional presents like ties and mugs for deliberately broken or damaged items intended to be repaired together by dads and their adult children. Each Fix-Pack contains a unique, branded object in less-than-perfect condition — from guitars that cannot be strummed and clocks missing hands, to wobbly lawn chairs and coolers with loose hinges. Each gift set also comes with a rebate toward a [six-pack of Miller Lite](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/case-of-the-mondays) to enjoy after the work is complete. Miller Lite's Fix-Pack concept draws on survey data indicating that nearly 60% of fathers prefer spending quality time with their kids over receiving material gifts, and that roughly half of Americans turn to their dad first for repair advice.
