Don't forget dad!

You do know that Father's Day is just a couple days away, right? You don't have much time left, but that doesn't mean you need to be late with dad's gift. In fact, we have tons of fantastic options for Father's Day gifts that will make your dad think you've been planning his present for months!

The following gifts are super easy to get your hands on at the last minute and will make dad super happy. Don't show up empty-handed at this year's Father's Day celebration. And at the very least, you can cook him Father's Day dinner!

Cheese, chocolate, beer, or wine!- Is dad a food lover? Go to your local gourmet food store (even a Whole Foods will do) and stock up. Get a nice basket and fill it with a large selection of cheeses. Or if dad has a sweet tooth, do the same thing with chocolates. While you're at it, make dad a 6-pack with some new craft beers or unique wines you think he'd like.

Of-the-Month Club- These days, there's an of-the-month-club for pretty much everything and everyone. You can quickly go online and sign your dad up for a membership, print out a certificate, and put it in the father's day card. Dad will love it because this gift will keep giving all year round.

Day at the spa- You might be thinking your dad wouldn't want a day at the spa, but you're wrong. What man wouldn't want some time to relax with a haircut, a shave, and maybe even a massage? Plus, there are plenty of spas that cater to men, even showing sports in the shop and sometimes serving beer. Dad deserves a day to relax.

Clothes- Yes, it sounds really boring. But many dads hate shopping and always need new clothes. Not only are you getting your dad a gift he can use, but you're saving him from running an errand he really doesn't want to do. It's a double win! Plus, you can help your dad look cool and up-to-date.

Sports tickets- Easy to order and they always make dad happy! Why not get two tickets to a baseball game  and you can buy him beer and hot dogs at the game.

Books- Go to the local bookstore and buy your dad a couple books you've read recently that you also think he would enjoy.

Have any brothers? Sometimes we think it's fun to bring a small gift for all the men in the house. We saw these ties on The Bachelor and thought they were cute. They are called peek-a-boo ties and really put a unique spin on this traditional gift.

This site is too cool and I like the Father's Day gift ideas, except I have a neat one of my own I'll share. Here's what I'm picking up for Dad on the way home from work. It's a prepaid cell phone from Net10 to replace the one he has since his contract is about to expire. The plan I'm getting him is 250 minutes a month for $25. I checked out Net10 online just now and the phones vary in price from under $20 to $99.99 and they all come with 300 free minutes - a bargain. For a retiree like my father who doesn't use his cell phone much, I think it's a neat gift.
