    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!

    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!

    Whether your dad is all about the ever-updating gizmos and gadgets of the Internet Age or rather acts like he's been living under a rock for the past decade (or thinks he knows his way around the 'net, but really doesn't have an inkling of a clue), this year's coolest Papa-approved gadgets are sure to appeal to both techie and caveman dads alike! 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!

    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!

    Moms work hard all year round, and we only give them one day off to really celebrate and appreciate them. How rude of us! That's why it's important to choose a perfect gift for Mom, maybe even one that she can enjoy for a little while. That's why I love to give my Mom beauty gifts - so she can use them and feel glamorous. You pretty much can't beat Philosophy for skin care and wonderful scents, and at $45, The Best Seller's Collection at Sephora is a great value. She can try out the best of their luxurious products. Or for some fancy relaxation, there's the Jo Malone Fragrance Combining Candle, which mixes three fabulous scents in the air. Mom will love it! Check out my slideshow for other great beauty gifts for Mother's Day, but most importantly, appreciate your gorgeous mama!

    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!
