Keep Calm—Here Are 50 Last-Minute Gift Ideas for Your Dad if Father’s Day Totally Slipped Your Mind
Even if he has everything, you’ll find something here!!!
Collective deep sigh… We all know it’s impossibly hard to shop for that dad who “doesn’t want anything” because he already has everything (which we’ll just pretend means us) or buys what he needs the second he needs it. But! We advise that you don’t fall into that trap and make the mistake of not sending your old man a little something this year. If all you had planned to give him for this Father’s Day was a phone call, you still have time to rethink that—and we suggest you do just that. Give him something he might actually use, instead of, like, the same thing the third year in a row. Time always sneaks up on us realllll quick, and shipping is never not a nightmare.
It’s always a good idea to place those orders ASAP if you want 'em to arrive in time—or, alternatively, ship it straight to him. In the case that you do forget to check out your cart until the day before—hi to all my last-minute shoppers—know that there are some gifts that you can purchase and gift the day-of (like, say, a nice cabin stay later this year or a streaming service so he can watch all his fave movies). Besides, he would be just as happy to open a present a few days late... After all, it’s the thought that counts, right?? Still, though, that doesn’t mean you can’t put a little extra effort into your last-minute gift.
Luckily, lots of sellers (including the ones below) have overnight, rush, two-day, and other fast shipping options. TYSM, Amazon Prime subscription—insert sweaty emoji here. So let us guide you with 50 great gift ideas below. No matter what he's into, we've got all the things he never knew he always wanted.
