Father's Day is nearly one week away and it's not too late to get something special to pamper the father figure in your life.
Good Housekeeping Style Director Lori Bergamotto rounded up some of the perfect ways to show a dad in your life that you love and appreciate him.
These gifts are fun, creative and are all able to be delivered in time for Father's Day on June 21.
1. AmazingClubs.Com, $17.95 and up.
This is a great destination for one-stop shopping: this site has 42 amazing clubs that you can tailor to any budget. You can even choose a Variety Club for the dad who likes to mix and match his favorites: like lobster and steak or bacon and coffee! Just visit AmazingClubs.com and pick a club, including father favorites like those seen here: bacon, cheese, and hot sauce. Next, choose the length of time Dad will receive the club, from three months to twelve months. AmazingClubs.com will send a gift announcement by mail, email, or printed instantly from your computer to Dad so he can get excited for his new club membership – perfect for those who wait until the last minute (even the morning of!).
2. Pinhole Press Puzzles, $24.99.
Super user-friendly site Pinhole Press is a small business in upstate New York where everything is handcrafted in America. They use a web-based drag-and-drop tool -- so no app is required! You can just pull pictures off your camera roll or social media and make these super cute family puzzles. They come in three different sizes: 12-piece, 60-piece, 252-piece depending on grandpa’s affection for puzzles! For guaranteed Father’s Day delivery, customers need to order their photo gift by midnight on Friday, June 12. Customers may select to gift wrap for a small additional charge, or add a complementary personal note to all photo gift orders.
3. Nalgene Customizer Bottles, $20.
Dads love practicality, and what’s more practical than Nalgene, a company that’s been making reusable water bottles in America since 1949. Just upload a photo(s) and apply custom text.
Nalgene offers unique fonts and sticker graphics to finalize the design. Every Nalgene bottle is leak-proof, durable and dishwasher safe, including custom photo bottles (the dishwasher will not peel the photo as the printing is like an actual photo!). Orders placed on June 12 will arrive by Father's Day; and later orders (e.g. the weekend or Monday) would potentially get there but may require expedited shipping.
4. Cookie Cake Custom Drawing Edible Image, $98.
How could you not love these hilarious and delicious cookie cakes from a mom-owned and run brand. Made by artist The Red Strings (another mom), these are all hand drawn and completely custom. You can even pick your cookie, icing, toppings and candy. Plus, they’ve partnered with a fantastic nonprofit, Kechi’s Project, which works with youth in the black communities to provide mentorship and education and will donate a portion of sales.
5. DIY Baseball
All you need is a baseball, an ink pad and a kid who can keep still for five minutes! My son and daughter loved making [hand-decorated baseballs] for my baseball-loving husband to keep in his office. A sentimental, affordable gift that requires minimum effort and maximum, giftable result!
6. Scotch Porter Beard Wash & Conditioner Bundle, $31.99.
