Okay, so here’s the thing- I thought Father’s Day was NEXT SUNDAY. My Outlook Calendar has posts scheduled for that whole week, which is when I was going to tell you all about the best, hottest gifts for Dads this Father’s Day. Which is THIS SUNDAY! OOOOOOPS! So, instead, you get the gift guide TODAY! Here’s how it’s going to work-I’m going to tell you about and link to some great products that I have personally researched that I think will make great gifts for Dads. Some can be bought in stores, so if you haven’t already bought something, you still have time (go, this weekend! Go SHOPPING!). Anything that needs to be purchased online, here’s what you do-if it’s the perfect gift, print out a screenshot of the page and fold it up inside a Father’s Day card that lets him know that the gift has been ordered and is on it’s way! Ready? Let’s talk great Father’s Day Gifts!

For Dads Who Aren’t Too Manly To Admit They Like Flowers:
As part of their Happy Hour collection, 1-800-Flowers pairs beautiful arrangements with classic bar glasses. From the beer lover, to martini drinker there is an arrangement for all tastes. Forget the vase, you can send Dad his flowers in an acrylic beer mug or black etched martini shaker created by metal artist Michael Aram. The Martini Shaker of Blooms by Jane Carroll is $75.00 and the 1-800-FLOWERS® Beer Mug of Blooms™ is $29.99. Call 1-800-FLOWERS or visit http://ww22.1800flowers.com/to order.

For Dads Who Like To Kick Back And Relax With Man’s Best Friend:
When he’s not lounging in his La-Z-Boy he’ll want to kick back in his new set of Adirondack Chairs and Ottomans ($49-99), which will go perfectly on that new porch he built last summer. Man’s Best Friend can even join in the fun with the matching Adirondack Pet Chair ($79) – both items available at http://www.TheCompanyStore.com.

For The Dad Who Likes To Run At Night:
*The Reebok Lighted hat ($28) is excellent for nighttime running because the hat has two bright LED lights and reflective material to keep your Dad safe from stray cars. Available at Dick’s Sporting Goods stores or http://www.DicksSportingGoods.com

For Dads Who Like The Great Outdoors:
*Give him shorts and pants all-in-one! The Pinnacle Peak Convertible Pants, $55 are perfect for the dad who wears the same thing again and again – all he has to do is zip them on or off for pants or shorts. These tech pants are quick-dry and durable for any outdoor activity and the gusseted crotch facilitates freedom for increased comfort, and the zip-off legs are perfect for all weather conditions on a weekend hike or camping trip. Check Sporting Goods or Camping Stores.

For The Dad Who Likes To Be Eco-Conscious:
*If you’re going to take the safe route and buy your dad a polo – impress him with an organic, UV protectant polo – it’ll give him something to talk about between holes at the golf course! The Nike ACG Kane Stripe Polo, $40 is made from 100% certified organic cotton that is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It is UV protective UPF30 for excellent protection, meeting ASTM D-6603 standards. This shirt will definitely make the other Dads jealous.
