    Father's Day is pretty much here and if you haven't gotten your dad a gift yet, you better get on it quick! Men in general are notoriously hard to shop for, and fathers are the hardest of the bunch to find a great gift to give. In an effort to solve this dilemma for ourselves, we've researched and written about numerous gift ideas and suggestions. Here is one more attempt to help find you that perfect Father's Day gift that is not a tie and that dad will love! If your father already seems to have everything, then get him something useful but completely superfluous! He probably has a couple of drugstore razors in his medicine cabinet. Why not get him a beautiful silver or wood finish shave set? I'm sure he already has a wallet, or maybe a money-clip, but perhaps a new soft Italian leather wallet will look even nicer! Women feel entitled to numerous pampering procedures, but men deserve the prince(ss) treatment from time to time too! Maybe a spa and massage session will help lift the stress off his shoulders... or perhaps he's a fashionable father and a great piece of statement jewelry is all he needs to add a little pep in his step! And what makes these luxe gifts even better is that they're from you, so check out the slideshow for some more great gift ideas to spoil your dad!

    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!

From a Laptop Essentials kit for the working dad on the go to a portable electric shaver that doesn't even require electricity (what?!), there's a whole array of nifty newfangled products that don't necessarily need a word-for-word analysis of the manual in order to operate, if he even so much as glances at it at all! Even if your pops swears by the simpler times from back when he was your age, he won't be able to resist the handiness of this digital measuring tape gadget that memorizes your measurements for you! After all, he can't deny that his own memory could use a little assistance these days! Check out the slideshow for more of the season's coolest gadget gifts for Dad, just in time for Father's Day!
