Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 15th. If you haven’t picked out a gift yet, here is the perfect guide for last minute gifts that cater to every kind of Dad.
For the Sporty Dad

- FitBit
If your active Dad wants to monitor his activity, the FitBit is a great choice. It tracks everything from the number of steps taken each day, calories burned, sleep activity, and more. This particular model is $97.99, however there are other trackers with varying features at different price points, so it’s easy to find one that suits your Dad’s needs (and your budget).
- Putting Mat
Bring the putting green to your Dad with this Pro Ball Return Putting Mat. Perfect for at home or in the office, any golf-loving Dad would love to take a break to relax and work on his putting skills.
For the Adventurous Dad
- Hammock
Give your Dad the gift of relaxation on-the-go with a hammock from Eagles Nest Outfitters. These hammocks are built to last and compact down into a very small carrying case, so it will be easy for your Dad to take with him on his next adventure.
- GoPro white edition with waterproof housing
