The gift will cost you $20 to $30, depending on the going rates in your market.
  • Is there a dad cave in the house? That's the perfect place for a limited edition print with an automotive theme. This print showing a Lamborghini Miura is

  • The battery-operated LED light on a flexible tripod is called the Gorillatorch. It sells for about $35 on novelty site RedEnvelope.com. Dad can never have enough flashlights, especially one as useful as this!
  • This men's leather bracelet is not too fussy and not too plain. And your pops will think of you whenever he puts it on. Or maybe he'll never take it off. This one from Gem Stone King is about $20 on Amazon.
  • Sweatpants, $20, Old Navy. Perfect for a lazy Father's Day.
