Father's Day is this Sunday, and it is officially time for last-minute shopping. Don't know what to get your dad? Try one of these five perfect gifts for every type of father.
For the Epicurean
His meals are made with epic care and precision, and now that you’re out of the house, the grill is his baby. But maybe he’s grown bored with burgers and steak. Send him one of the Father's Day specials from Honolulu Fish Co., whose seafood, until recently, was only delivered to the top restaurants in America. Offering wild, line-caught fish like ahi tuna and ora king salmon, the Father's Day Special makes this insanely delicious seafood actually affordable. honolulufish.com
For The Cocktail Lover
If your dad is a cocktail maven and also a tool hoarder, you have probably noticed that every drawer in the house is overflowing. The solution: a handy tool that incorporates five in one and takes up less space than a small ruler. The Simple Tool from Barbarian incorporates a channel knife, zester, a can lance, can tab lifter and bottle opener all in a space-saving design. Now you just have to get him to throw the rest of the tools out…and make you a cocktail. $18, barbarianbartools.com
For The Homebody
You always loved movie night with your dad. You would watch an action flick, and he would eat the entire bowl of popcorn you made for the two of you. For that popcorn-loving dad, give him this handy microwavable popcorn maker, the PopTop. Throw the kernels in, fold to close and microwave. Less messy than traditional popcorn machines and better for you than the packaged stuff. And who knows, maybe he’ll share this time. $20, amazon.com
For the Sportie Dad
Table tennis is what your childhood was made of. Bring back those memories with this ping-pong paddle that is actually a hot plate. Handy, fun and we guarantee you he doesn't already have one. Perhaps this will inspire a rematch, since he is now claiming he let you win every game. $15, amazon.com
For the Man Who Has Everything
Your default gift for Mom on Mother's Day is a massive bouquet of roses. Perhaps Dad is feeling left out. But roses don't exactly scream "dad." So why not a bouquet of bacon? Yes, bacon perfectly rolled into roses delivered and ready to eat. ditzyblondes.com
