Shopping for a man who constantly tells you to stop shopping is a really tough job.  Father’s Day is right around the corner and I can’t help but feel the tie/socks/homemade tchotchke trifecta is a little overplayed, but what do you get for the man who thinks Teva sandals and pleated khakis are socially acceptable?

Well, I’ve got a few ideas of what he’ll love, as well as a few hints at what to stay away from.

Good Idea: A gift to sponsor a child from Africa
Bad Idea: A positive pregnancy test to sponsor your lovechild.
He’ll feel culturally aware and very on-trend now that Sandra Bullock has joined the club of adoptive parents helping kids in need.  Just make sure it’s not your kid that’s needing the charity.

Good Idea: A subscription to a magazine about on one of his hobbies
Bad Idea: A year’s worth of Playboy.
Cameras, cars, home restoration, and wildlife?  All acceptable.  Bush and boobs?  Not so much. Read More »

As we all know, buying a gift for Dad is nearly impossible as he either seems to have everything or you just have no idea what he would want.  This causes most of us to procrastinate on buying him a gift, and then having to scramble at the 11th hour and settle for a gift that is less then mediocre. (Read: a tie.)

So if you that fit the description above, don’t worry; you still have some time this year (not much, but at least a day or two).  I have compiled my list of amazing gifts to give Dad that can all be shipped this week and make it just in time for the special day.

I got your back, ladies.

The Top 6 Last Minute Father’s Day Gifts:

Eleni’s I LOVE DAD Cookies: Eleni’s makes the cutest and most delicious sugar cookies.  They come wrapped in an elegant gift box and can be preserved for up to 1 week if the box is opened.  The box contains 18 cookies spelling out “I LOVE DAD” surrounded by cookie hearts.  The cookies cost $37 and must be ordered by 12pm PST on Thursday, 6/18.

BBQ Apron & Tool Set: If your dad loves to “man the grill” (or “dad the grill”…wait, that doesn’t make sense) then this is a perfect gift to give him. This durable apron serves as both an apron and carrying case that holds all the tools that Dad will need to grill.  Plus the apron has compartments that Dad can place the tools in while grilling.  This set costs $45 and must be ordered by 12pm PST on Thursday, 6/18.
