As seen on The Today Show

Tomorrow is Dad’s big day. Are you ready? Last week I published my Father’s Day Gift Guide for Every Kind of Dad, but if you procrastinated getting your guy a gift, never fear, I’m here to help. As the clock ticks down, I’m offering my favorite last minute gifts for every kind of dad. Trust me, they’re so good, your guy will think you spent weeks planning to surprise him.

Man’s Man

Philips Shoqbox Mini Rugged Waterproof Speaker

Don’t let this bluetooth speaker’s tiny size fool you. The Philips Shoqbox is loaded with features and tough enough to take on the road anywhere you want to go. The whole thing is small enough to hold comfortably in the palm of your hand, but it’s completely waterproof, has a built in mic for taking phone calls, oh, and it floats too. Did you hear that? IT FLOATS!

 

Nuts and Bolts Picture Frame

Honor the dad who does it all with this cute DIY nuts and bolts frame. A frame, some nuts and bolts, some glue, and the tutorial from SheKnows is all you need to make this cute gift a reality. The best part is this is an easy gift for little hands to help with too.

 

Perry Ellis Water-Resistant Nylon Travel Kit

Even the most organized dad could use a little help keeping it all together. This water-resistant travel kit will lend a hand, and makes a stylish travel companion to organize all his toiletries on the go. You can pick one up at a Macy’s near you.

Who knew you could make your own shaving cream? This simple recipe from The Idea Room is cute, practical, and will leave Dad’s skin feeling great! Don’t forget to use the free printable label to take this gift over the top.

 

DIY Beard Oil with Printable Label

Sure, your mountain man may save time on shaving, but that doesn’t mean his facial hair doesn’t require love and attention. This DIY Manly Man Beard Oil from EverythingEtsy.com is simple to make, but will impress your guy on Father’s Day.

 

Foodie Father

Tara Teaspoon’s BBQ Rub

My 10-ingredient BBQ rub recipe makes enough to last all summer long, which means it’s the gift that keeps on giving. A few Tablespoons is all you need each time you use it. With a little bit of luck, this is a gift you’ll get to enjoy too.
