    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 Gourmet Foodie

    Father's Day may be on June 21, but it's never too early to starting thinking about what to give him. Is he the kind of dad whose favorite room in the house is the kitchen? Does he like to try out new recipes or know exactly which wine to pair with each dish? Then forget the tie tacks or golf clubs, your foodie father would love something that would appeal to his gourmet taste. If he already has his dream grill and you can't pry him out of the deck on nice days, then consider getting him a monogram steak brand and carving board that will have him feeling even prouder about his grilling abilities. And if he likes to kick back and enjoy a nice cold beer, maybe he should consider making his own beer with a homebrew kit. Check out my slideshow for more gift ideas for dads who like to enjoy the finer things in life.

    Last-Minute Mother's Day Deliveries To Keep You On Mom's Good ...

    So it's Friday already and you're kinda sorta giftless for Mother's Day -- which is in fact this Sunday, no matter how much you wish you could buy yourself another week to shop. If you're close enough to your mama to see her on the big day, you know there's no way she'll let you into the house empty-handed, unless the mailman has already delivered the gift on your behalf, and a long-distance mom probably won't be any more forgiving if the day passes her by with not so much as a flower in sight. It's okay, you're human, and it's perfectly understandable for such an occasion to slip your mind, in my opinion... but I'm not the one you'll have to beg to for forgiveness! But don't fret yet, my fashionably forgetful friend -- the 'net has loads of thoughtful deliverable gifts that can fix your memory slip just in time (as in, before your mom replaces you as her favorite) as long as you act fast! With an array of edible treats like a set of hand-dipped strawberries that's almost too cute to eat (almost) or an at-home spa kit gift basket that will make sure Mom feels like royalty on her special day, no one will suspect that such a timely, gorgeous gift was really a last-minute desperate effort to stay out of the doghouse! Take a look at the slideshow for some Mother's Day deliveries that will make Mom feel special and save your behind in the process!

    They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but how does one show their love to a special lady in their life? By means of chocolate, of course! This Mother's Day, if you're still debating on what to get your mama -- flowers, jewelry, candy, something more "original" -- this season's selection of couture treats is bound to make you forget all about your more diet-friendly other gift options and instead focus all your energy on choosing which decadent box of goodies will be sure to remind Mom why you're her favorite! From simple yet cute Godiva chocolate lollipops to ridiculously yummy white chocolate-covered Floral Petit Fours from Williams-Sonoma, these candies are so crave-worthy that your mom might be suspicious that you're just trying to fatten her up... but at least she might be more likely to share! Check out the slideshow for some of the hottest chocolate gifts for Mother's Day!

    Let's face it, every woman I know loves chocolates. Even the ones who say they don't like it really do like it (I've seen them at parties surreptitiously going after the chocolate fountain!) Guys, listen up. If you're looking for a last minute no-fail gift for your better half, then go for a nice box of chocolates. Whatever you do, please don't get a beat up box from the local drug store. Show a little more thought and consideration in your selection. If she's a die hard sushi lover then take a look at this super clever box of sushi-shaped chocolates! They've made guava to look like tuna and papaya to mimic salmon eggs. It definitely gives meaning to the saying: "looks too good to eat." Or take a walk on the wild side with a faux tiger fur topped box with premium chocolate by Christopher Norman. Need more ideas?
