It’s not that you forgot Father’s Day, it’s just that life got in the way. It happens to the best of us, and if you’re looking at your calendar and just now realizing that Father’s Day is this Sunday, don’t fret. We have nine superthoughtful solutions to your dad’s day dilemma, all of which require just one stop (or less!).

Cook For Him

Make Sunday brunch or breakfast in bed extra special for your dad. Whether it’s eggs and coffee or burgers and fries that suit his fancy, get the kids involved in whipping up a yummy meal especially for the man of honor.

Spice Up His Life

If he likes a little heat with his chips and dip, take a cue with this easy recipe for pickled jalapeños — yum (for some)!

Words of Wisdom

A thoughtful book is always an appropriate and appreciated gift. Have the kids inscribe the inside front cover with a heartfelt message to Dad to give it extra meaning. Two of our Father’s Day faves are Dad’s Playbook and Rules for My Unborn Son.

Oink, Oink

If he’s a bacon fiend (and his ticker’s in good working order), treat him to a year’s worth of the salty goodness, delivered right to your doorstep. The Bacon of the Month Club is utterly indulgent . . . and he’ll absolutely love it.

Smartphone Photo Fun

A Smartphone Photo Cube Printer will let Dad release all of those great pics of the kids from his iPhone photo library.

Make an Oenophile Say “Aww . . .”

If wine’s his thing, pick up a special bottle that was produced the year each of your kids was born. Create customized gift tags with ribbon and photos of Dad and his little ones.

Best Dressed Desk

Transform a standard, not-so-exciting notepad cube into a work of art he’ll be proud to display at the office. Just follow these easy instructions, and be sure to have the kids use thick-tip markers.

Custom Artwork Collages

A gift made by the kids is always thoughtful, but if you’re able to up the ante on its presentation, then even better. We’ve all got stacks of creations by our budding artists sitting around the house, and all it takes is a collage frame to put them together into a masterpiece.

Dad Rocks

A simple yet special piece of art for the dad in your life is a whole lot more affordable and accessible than you’d think.
