I feel like this has rolled around very fast this year! I need to start watching for good buys for Father's Day and there's no time like the present. Who's with me? :D

Re: Father's Day is Sunday June 19 - gift ideas?

I am! :) My husband's got me looking for an old fashioned wooden checkers set at garage sales. That's what he wants. He wants one he can set up on the porch but it's got to be a good sturdy set." Like the kind old men played outside stores."  That's the description I've got to work with LOL. So keep an eye out for that please.

If you're buying for a dad that likes toys, how about this remote controlled buggy? That's a fun gift if he's a big kid at heart. :)

I never know what to buy so I let him choose his own gift. We go for lunch then go to the mall. It's stress-free for me because I know he likes the gift and he's also a speed shopper. We're done in a couple of hours and that includes the lunch! :)

I don't know any man that doesn't either have a Swiss Army knife or want one. This is a good buy at $15.49. Half price!

My dad has remote controls scattered all over the living room. I think he'd love this gift, a remote control organizer with photo slots he can put pictures of his grandchildren in. :) It's got a swivel base too.

Walmart's got a couple of nice windbreaker jackets on clearance for ten dollars each. I like the gold/navy block color best.

cookiefan, both of those jackets are real nice and a bargain! Thumbs up to you on finding them! :) I also saw a nice gray men's training jacket for the same price.

Now that is one cool gift!! I hope they cut the price down some more or offer the free shipping for Fathers Day. I'd love to get that for my dad. He thinks he's king of the hill when it comes to grilling. :)  I'm going to hang on until after the weekend to see if they do.

I think that's a good idea, Splash. Most of those who work Mon-Fri will only be getting time to look online now over the weekend. I bet it gets reduced some more by Wed next week. That would be the last shipping day I figure.

What's not to love about this hammock chair? I'd like that myself for out in the yard. They thoughtfully provide a pillow and can holder too.
$40 is a little high for me. I'll be watching this to see if it comes down any further.  It also comes in blue and red.

The hammock chair's very cool! I love the idea of a hammock but the reality of getting in and out of one easily's very different LOL. That's a nice compromise.

Re: Father's Day is Sunday June 19 - gift ideas?

I picked up the old man a couple of nice tshirts on clearance at Walmart for the kids to give him and they chose his card. He's never got a decent tshirt to wear when he needs one! He's worse than the kids about getting them covered in grease and muck LOL. :)

Re: Father's Day is Sunday June 19 - gift ideas?

 We're headed into town tomorrow to get a Father's Day gift. I was too slow to order anything online. I'm going to look for those windbreakers in-store and  if they don't have any, it will be a DVD. I don't know what until I get there. :)
