7 Spectacular Last-Minute Father's Day Gift Ideas

Dads always seems to get the proverbial shaft when it comes to being celebrated on the third Sunday in June. You know it's true: Even now, just days before Father's Day (June 16), you're still looking for a gift. It's not like he didn't go to your soccer games — or drive an hour each way to watch you play — or read to you in bed, or wash your car. If you ask us, it's time to give dads their due.

And despite the holiday getting closer with each passing hour, you still have time to pick a thoughtful option from our glorious list of our favorite last-minute Father's Day gift ideas. From delicious dinners and desserts you can enjoy at home to gift baskets you can ship to Dad to anywhere in the United States, these recommendations will show your "old man" just how much you love and appreciate everything he's done for you.

Father's Day Gift Box

Dads tend to be very straightforward and so is the name of this gift. The Father's Day gift box comes with a sampling of all of Dad's favorites. Summer sausage and cheddar cheese are the makings of a delicious afternoon charcuterie board, and Moose Munch popcorn is perfect for hosting a summer movie night at home, where he'll probably be able to quote the entire film. It's just Dad being Dad.

Join the club

If you're looking for a gift that keeps on giving, sign Dad up for one of the many well-known Fruit-of-the-Month clubs, which go well beyond the sweet and juicy fruit of the gods. Start him off with honey mangoes in June, or send him desserts, chocolate, wine and cheese, popcorn, complete breakfast meals — even plants — throughout the rest of the year. Let Dad celebrate Father's Day month after month with the best in gourmet food and drink...and plants!

Weekend getaway

If Dad's an adventurer, pack up the car and take him on a day trip or weekend getaway. From racing along sand dunes in an ATV to exploring gold rush history, a micro-vacation is a lovely way to show your appreciation while treating the entire family to something fun.

Greeting card

No matter how close to Father's Day, you have to send a greeting card, especially one that can you can personalize with the right message that conveys how much Pops means to you. He taught you the adage "Measure twice, cut once," how to throw a baseball, change a flat tire, and most importantly, how to be a great father.

Bloody Mary Kit

You and Dad are a great pairing, like brunch and Sundays. And what goes better with brunch than a bloody mary? This kit is more than just your standard tomato juice and celery. It has all the accoutrements to make one of the best bloodies ever. If you don't believe us, just ask Geoffrey Zakarian.

Blue Cheese Burgers

Dads are typically typecast as grillmen. You can still give a gift for the grillmaster, but at least give him the night off from doing the work by putting on an apron and firing up some Wagyu beef blue cheese burgers. Wagyu beef patties have such exceptional marbling and flavor that all they need is a sprinkle of salt and pepper on each side. The finishing touch is a smoky blue cheese sauce that can double as a dip for a side of fries, chips, or fresh vegetables. Heck, why not create a burger with all three between the bun? The sauce is so good, by the way, it can triple as a drink. No judgement.

Jerky collection

Growing up, you always questioned why Dad did certain things certain ways. He certainly parented to the beat of his own drum, but he knew what he was doing. Harry & David also knows what it's doing when it comes to premium dried meats. Whether it's bacon jerky, sausage sticks, or Landjaeger — even a jerky flower bouquet (Seriously! the above photo has not been manipulated) — Dad will be in jerky heaven.
