So if you're like me, that means you've waited 'till this week to get a gift for your dad. And with Father's Day in one week, it's time to buckle down and get serious! Below are some gift ideas. I really miss the days when I could break out the crayons and construction paper. He really used to enjoy them.
To Maintain His Good Looks:
Guys may have a rep for being lazy, but I know there are some out there who cares a great deal about their looks. Face it every guy wants to look good and feel good. Get him:
- Billy Jealousy About Face Anti-Aging Serum (left) is a concentrated rejuvenation formula that turns back the clock with gentle glycolic acid, Echinacea purpurea extract, and aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
- Billy Jealousy Wipeout Eye Cream (second to the left) uses lactic acid that exfoliates to reduce the appearance of fine lines, licorice extract uses its anti-oxidant power to lighten dark circles, and squalene speeds up the absorption of ingredients into skin, providing fast, effective results.
- Billy Jealousy Hot Towel Pre-Shave Treatment (second to right) is a unique, water-activated heating agent that adds a modern twist to the classic barbershop shave.
- Billy Jealousy Combat Lines Face Moisturizer SPF 30 (right) is packed with anti-oxidant vitamins to fight free radicals, moisturizing agents to shield from the weather, and organic sunscreens to safeguard against the sun.
Billy Jealousy is available at billyjealousy.com, select Barney’s, select Nordstrom, and select Sephora stores.
The Sports Fanatic:
My dad is the ultimate sports buff. There have been times where he was late from picking me up places because "the game was on". It doesn't matter what game...if it's on, he's watching. If you know a guy like that than he might enjoy:
--A subscription to Sports Illustrated: a guy like him wants to be in the know, so why not give him THE ultimate sports magazine out there. I mean seriously, for $39 he'll think of you every week when he reaches for the mail. Get it here
--Orlando Magic or LA Lakers jersey: the NBA finals are on and just about everyone's watching. So is your dad, so get him something he can wear while screaming at the television. Just make sure the young ones aren't around, the players aren't the only ones capable of technical fouls. Visit the NBA Store for options.
--Customized sports paraphernalia: his name. his favorite team. That simple. Also at the NBA Store.
The techie:
My dad, like yours I'm sure, swears he's the ultimate techie. Always telling me what I should be looking for in a laptop (the one he's buying but doesn't know yet) or why the BlackBerry is such a great phone. If you're dad's always dishing out advice, show him that you listened. Somewhat. Clockwise from top:
-magicJack: it plugs into a computer’s USB, and then a phone is plugged directly into it. A free phone number is even provided, and calls are made free over the internet. Even better, is that there is no monthly rate or long distance charges, and the first year is free. Every year thereafter, there is a flat rate of $19.00 per year. He'll thank you when he notices how much he saves. Visit www.magicjack.com
-Scosche Bluetooth Visor Mount w/ Caller ID: Bluetooths freak me out. You look like you're talking to yourself. But my dad lives by his, he won't pick up the phone unless his little gizmo is in his ear. And when we're in the car, God forbid his ear thingie falls off while driving...sheer madness. So this is a Godsend. The Scosche is a crystal clear speakerphone that keep him from wasting money on unnecessary tickets and gets the gizmo out of his ear. At least while driving. Best Buy has them online. Visit Tom Tom for more info.
-TomTom: My dad gets lost all the time. But according to him..."we're not lost, just making sure we've covered all possible routes". Get him something that he'll secretly thank you for. And you'll be glad when you stop passing the same store three times in the last hour.
-Nikon D40: all the Ashton Kutcher ads has got your dad eyeing a DSLR of his own. Give the man the dream with Nikon's D40. With its insane 3.0x AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II lens(whatever that means), the D40 offers ease of use and split-second shutter response that eliminates the annoyance of shutter delay. Get it www.nikonusa.com
If this doesn't wow him, then ladies, it's time to break out the macaroni and paper plates because I don't know what else to tell you! What are you getting your dad this Father's Day?? Leave it in the comments! Can't wait to hear your ideas!
