Last-Minute Gifts To Save Your Behind This Father's Day

When it comes to gift shopping, I can dish out plenty of advice on picking out the right presents for every kind of recipient, but I'm definitely guilty of not following my own words of wisdom regarding planning ahead! If you're like me and often find yourself smacking your forehead in frustration upon realizing that you are yet again empty-handed just days before Father's Day, you will be relieved to know that not all hope is lost. While scoring that just-released gadget your dad has been eyeing or shipping in a thoughtful personalized present may be out of the question if you're looking to be prompt with your gift-giving, you might just be able to save yourself from being deemed your dad's least favorite or "the heartless forgetful one" by making a quick trip to your local Target or Walmart. From Father's Day themed candy gift boxes to men's accessory essentials like wallets and watches, these gifts may be impromptu and kind of corny, but at least you didn't put in zero effort. Check the slideshow for more last-minute Father's Day gifts, perfect for a guy who doesn't shop enough to know the difference!

Father's Day Gifts For The Dad Who Has Everything

If buying my mom a good Mother's Day gift was challenging, buying a Father's Day gift is nearly impossible! Already, there is a sharp decrease in the amount of beauty products, jewelry, apparel and fragrances that are marketed for men. My dad already has everything that he wants and if he doesn't have it, it probably means he can't afford it and if he can't afford it, I definitely can't! So year after year, right about now, I start racking my brains for something that is cool, unique and re-usable. After extensive research and many tiring hours of online shopping, I have come up with a list for myself as well as anyone else who has a hard father to shop for. From the quirky but practical, like a front-pocket wallet to help relieve dad's back stress and deter pick-pockets or a sweet and sentimental personalized photo night-light, you'll be able to find something for you dad who has everything! Your dad would probably buy you the moon if he could. Well, you can beat him to it and buy him an acre of celestial land, complete with a deed and documents! Workaholics, wine aficionados, gourmet gardeners and all those in between, check out this slideshow for some original Father's Day gifts that your doting dad is sure to love!

Do Dad A Favor This Father's Day With Stress-Free Clothing Gifts

We all know that generally speaking, men hate shopping. Although it would probably be a useful excuse to say that your addictive shopaholic nature comes from fierce bargain-hunting genes from both your parents, realistically your dad would probably rather be watching TV than trying on clothes in the dressing room. So while shopping-savvy gals like you or your mom might be insulted by seemingly obvious or "no-brainer" gifts like dress shirts or tube socks, you might be surprised to find out that when your dad says he needs practical gifts like clothes, he really means it. Forget that expensive newfangled GPS ('cause he'll never even read the directions to assemble it anyway) and think of all the time, boredom, and moaning and groaning you'll spare your dad by going out and doing his clothing shopping for him. By sticking to practical yet stylish gifts like a lightweight zip-up jacket, button-down striped shirts and sleek ties (after all, nothing says Father's Day like ties!), you'll be playing it safe in a good way by sticking to things you know Dad will actually wear and get good use out of. Check the slideshow for some easy-to-buy clothing picks that will keep your dad dressed to impress without him having to set foot in the hellish mall!

And The Winner Of The Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth Headset Is...

Not all shopping is fun and games, trust me. I don't need to tell you about things that are fun to shop for- I do that all the time- but then are things that are completely unfun to shop for. Off the top of my head, I can think of a couple: foot cream, travel wallets, socks, headsets. All of these things fall into the category of "Things You Don't Necessarily Want To Buy But Probably Should." Here's a solution: get them for free! Earlier this week we told you how you could enter to win a Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth Headset, worth $99.95. Want to know if your entry was the winner? Read on to find out!

Dad Can Get His Kicks At Saks This Father's Day

Father's Day is this weekend and if you haven't had a chance to pick up a present for dear old Dad, we are here to help. Fathers can be the worst people to shop for (I know my dad returns everything), but this year, Saks is helping children and spouses everywhere get a present he will really love. Starting Father's Day weekend (great for those last-minute shoppers), Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC will be holding an exclusive pre-sale event for PF Flyers. PF Flyers have been selling comfortable yet stylish sneakers since 1933. There is a pretty good chance your dad grew up on this brand and a brand he knows is a brand he won't return. These retro kicks are sure to make your father feel young again, while their modern detailing will keep him in the 21st century. Check out our friends at WhatsWear.com for more shopping news and fashion trends!

Gifts for Grads: Frame the Memories!

Looking for a perfect gift for the graduate in your life? Nothing could be more personal than framing a favorite photo as a gift, especially for high school grads headed off to college. I'm sure you agree - taking the time to print and frame a digital picture can take some serious effort, and is something that often is put at the bottom of the to-do list. That's why I love this photo collage frame from personalizationmall.com: you can pick any one-line message and it is lasered into a matboard. Just print a few photos for the back! Tip: it looks even cuter when you let one photo cut across two letters. For something a little simpler for the green-loving grad, what about the Mariposa recycled aluminum frame? It's glamorous and eco-friendly! Check out my slide show for other great photo frame gifts for grads!

Hot In The Hive: Beer In A Boot For Father's Day!

Father's Day is a step around the corner and I never know what to get my dad! I crossed ties off the list many years ago (he made me), he probably has bathrobe and slipper sets to last him two lifetimes, and all those cool gadgets and grill tools that my brother and I were gonna go halfsies on? He's already bought them for himself! So, I think this year, I will go for a gift that's something fun mixed with something a little traditional. Most men like beer... maybe even borderline love. Men have loved beer throughout the ages so much that German soldiers would drink it out of their boots, rather than not drink it at all! So this Father's Day, get your dad the gift of tradition and beer with a glass beer boot from HomeWetBar! These glass boots hold up to 18 oz of beer which is about half a liter. Not big enough? They also come in two liter boot sizes! Dad may be sick of getting house slippers, but here's some footwear that he'll love to get out and use again and again! At $20 each, get a pair of beer boots and join your father for a Father's Day brewski!


Price: $19.95
Who Found It: idabone was first to add the 18 oz Beer Boot to the Hive.

Give A Modern Twist On The Pet Rock For Father's Day

Does your dad have every kooky gadget imaginable? From those silly singing trout to spy-like listening devices, he's got them all stashed around the house. But here's a gadget that really stands out because it actually lives in plain sight. Best Buy recommends rocks speakers as one of the best Dad's Day gifts this season (don't forget! June 21st!), and we totally agree. The perfectly camouflaged wireless speakers are a great addition to any backyard barbeque! He'll be wondering all afternoon where the music is coming from (until you let him in on his own present, of course!) Check out Pronto's array of colors and sizes - there are enough to beat out your childhood rock collection. And way less heavy, too. Click over to our friends at Shop Therapy and be sure to check out all their Father's Day gift ideas!

Father's Day will be here before you know it, and there's no time like the present to start planning for a gift that will remind Dad why you're his favorite. Techy gifts are the obvious choice, but those can be tricky. Why not get him something you know he'll use? Plantronics earpieces are just the thing for Dad this Father's Day. The Voyager PRO Bluetooth headset is the most advanced noise-canceling one available, with two mics, an adaptive 20 band equalizer, and three layers of Windsmart technology. In other words, he won't miss a beat. Sleek, stylish, and comfortable, these earpieces retail for $99.95, but we're giving one away for free! Want it? Read on to find out how you can enter.

Tech Savvy Gifts For Grads!

When it comes to high school and college grads, tech-savvy gifts are some of the best around. There's so much on the market though, so it's important to figure out what they already have and what would make a good addition to their lives. For instance, college grad moving to a new city? How about the Garmin eTrex Legend GPS to help them find their way around their new home? High school grad was a cross country superstar? I think an iPod shuffle would be a perfect gift to accompany them on their runs in college. If your niece graduated with a degree in environmental science, how about the solar battery charger to help her charge her phone while out on a clean-up site? Check out my slideshow for lots of other tech savvy gifts for grads!
