Last minute Christmas gifts for dad

Posted by Dad on Dec 22, 2008 in The Blog | 2 comments

I’m running out of time with my “gifts for dad” series so I’m combining them into this list of last minute Christmas gifts for dad. Of couse, you could always go with the go-to “#1 Dad” tie…

The following is a list of gifts I wouldn’t mind receiving pulled from around the Internet and in no particular order:

Wolver’s Organic Ale Beer. If your hubby enjoys beer, this is a unique experience he’ll enjoy. Add a homemade coupon to watch a game of his favorite sport with him and he’ll think he’s died and gone to heaven.
L’Occitane Shave Kit. If you want to go a little more metro/hip, get him this shaving set from L’Occitane. My wife loves the scent and the shave is wonderful. I take samples of these from the Four Season’s Hotel in Mexico City when I’m there on business. A good alternative is the Lab Series Shave Cream. It doesn’t smell like L’Occitane but man does it shave well!
The Apple iPhone 3G. If you’re a high roller and he’s been especially good this year, you can’t go wrong with the iPhone. He will geek out over it.
Harmony Programmable Remote. Does he love his TV and home theater and stereo? Give him a gadget that puts everything at his fingertips without having to grab separate remotes. Come on ladies, you know we have a tendancy towards lazyness every once in a while.
Silk Boxer Shorts. He’s working out and getting fit just for you, ladies. Show him you noticed by getting him these puppies. A littel spice in the romance is key to a long happy marriage.
A watch. Men accessorize with watches. If you like a man with a manly watch, then consider getting him the Guess Men’s Black Leather. It looks good and is reasonably priced.
Printable coupons. Finally, there really is no better gift than one that says “thank you” and “I love and appreciate you.” There are many online sites that allow you to download and print coupons that you can customize. Give him a few coupons that he can cash in later like taking out the trash or mowing the lawn. How about a night out with just you? Or, a Sunday afternoon of watching sports with his favorite food?

I hope the above gave you some ideas for last minute gifts for dad. Of course, the idea is to make sure that gift doesn’t scream “LAST MINUTE PURCHASE” so take some time and put some thought into it. Remember, he wants to feel loved and appreciated. Give him that.

Let me know what you think and what you’re getting him. I’ll gladly add it to the list above.

All the best
