5 Father's Day Gift Suggestions
Don’t have a clue what to get your Dad for Father’s Day? Don't worry -- we’ve come across some great gift items that are sure to have Dad grinning from ear to ear.

  • Does Dad appreciate gifts that get extra mileage? If so, go for a great wallet, like this Kenneth Cole Backstage Pass Wallet for just $35 at Kenneth Cole. This will last him at least a few years which means it’s definitely $35 well spent!

  • Is your Father constantly traveling? Kenneth Cole also has the 21" Wheeled Upright Rodeo Drive Bag for $122.50, also at Kenneth Cole. Now Dad will have to ditch that beaten up, hardcased suitcase for this chic, sleek new model.

  • Is Dad an avid reader? How about getting him a best-selling book or magazine subscription? Amazon.com has a large selection of publications, including a great deal on a subscription for The New Yorker magazine. A one year subscription comes to just $39.95, which saves you a whopping $156.23 off of a year’s newsstand purchases. Or perhaps check out the bestselling or sale section at Amazon.com, Borders, or Barnes & Noble for a summer read for Dad. We found this bestselling book, The Last Lecture, by Randy Pausch, for a mere $15.36 at Barnes & Noble.

  • Does Dad love his gadgets? A factory-refurbished iPod Shuffle is an inexpensive option to get Dad “ituned” in, available at The Apple Store for $39. Whether he's commuting into work, working out at the gym, or going for a jog in the park, the shuffle will serve as a great companion.
