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.

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!
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.
