Father’s Day is less than a week away and dad is usually the hardest to shop for. When shopping for multiple dads; i.e.your own dad, grandfather, children’s father, uncle, etc it can be a lot to decide. I like to make my gifts a little personable and have some kind of meaning to them. This list is affordable and easy to obtain without having to wait for shipping. Let’s make dad’s day with these easy last minute Father’s Day gift ideas.
Graphic Tees
Buying clothes for dad is kind of hard, but who doesn’t like a graphic tee. More stores have this option now and the choices are usually extensive. I like this idea because it can be personable, choosing a graphic that the dad in your life loves. For instance there are graphics with popular bands or music artists, popular movies such as Jurrassic Park or Star Wars and then the ones with witty sayings. Check out stores like Target, H&M, Old Navy, Walmart or even Amazon to get dad’s new favorite tee.
Snack and Beverage Box
A snack and beverage box is a really simple last minute Father’s Day gift idea. You can get this the day before or even the day of. Take a peek in dad’s pantry or just take note of what he is usually snacking on. Get all his favorite goodies plus the ones he doesn’t splurge on and fill his stomach. In your box you can even include alcoholic beverages, or movie snacks. This gift definitely won’t get re-gifted or returned to the store.

A lot of dads and men in general enjoy firing up the grill in the summertime and on holidays. There are so many unique grilling tools out there that you can get him. From spatulas, to special skewer sticks, to meat thermometers, you can’t miss with this. Home Depot has some good options.
