The Last-Minute Guide: Gifts for Dad

Did Father’s Day sneak up on you this year? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Try one of these sure-to-please Father’s Day gifts. Even if procrastination is the name of your game, you can pick one of these gifts up for the dad in your life with time to spare.

Spa treatments

Moms aren’t the only ones who love the spa. Dad gets stressed out just like the rest of us, and what he needs is a proper massage to beat those knots out of his aching back. But they may be reluctant to book spa appointments themselves. For Father’s Day, offer dad a massage gift card.

Photo canvas

Short on time? Don’t rule out photo gifts. Choose your favorite picture of the family and have it printed on a beautiful canvas. Dad will love displaying his custom photo canvas at work and no one will ever know you ordered the day before Father’s Day.

Electronics and gadgetry

Let’s face it — dad knows exactly what he wants when it comes to gadgets and computer gear. Instead of trying to guess what he wants for Father’s Day, hook him up with a gift certificate to a retailer he knows and trusts.

Workout gear

Jump-start dad’s fitness routine with new workout gear. Pay attention to his favorite types of workouts to find the right gear and activewear for a great last minute Father’s Day gift. Put together a new exercise outfit or upgrade his current gear. If he’s into strength training, try new hand weights for easy workouts at home or on the go.

Chow time

Father’s Day gifts don’t have to be tangible items. Instead of giving him a cheesy last-minute gift that he won’t use, plan a special dinner with the family. Serve all of Dad’s favorite foods at home. If it’s not too late, you can also try booking a table at his favorite restaurant or steakhouse. It doesn’t matter if it’s a casual affair as long as Dad and the whole family are having fun.

Concert Tickets

Sports might not be dad’s thing, but what about live music? Summer is the season for big concert tours, and 2013 offers plenty to choose from. Go online and find out if one of his bands are coming to a venue near you.

Experiential gifts

Offer unique experience gifts that your dad will love. From extreme sports to unusual classes, you can select from a number of extraordinary experiences. If you are not sure exactly which experiential gift your dad would love the most, you can order a gift certificate and allow him to pick his own experience.

Gift cards

Gift cards and certificates aren’t consider a tacky gift if you choose the right one. Select a gift card from a specialty shop suited to your dad’s hobbies or from a restaurant that you know he enjoys. You can order gift cards online and have them delivered via email, or you can print the certificate out and hand-deliver it to your dad inside a greeting card.
