father's day
I've researched a list of mostly affordable
($20-$200) gifts that can be purchased online in the nick of
time for father's day. If you plan on buying one of these items,
don't forget to give me credit when your dad calls you on papa's
day and insists that "gee son, you're the greatest."
You can say that it was all thanks to CasaJP.

| sportsmen: |
Go to Angler's
and check out their fly fishing tools and travel rod cases, to
hook up the old man next time he's casting away in Montana. You'll
find this and other cool gear under, amazingly enough, the cool
gear section. |
|
|
Here's a watch from beOutdoors.com
that would make even Garofalo jealous: it sports an altimeter,
barometer, compass electronic calendar and is waterproof at 16
fathoms (100 ft). Tell Dad to put down the Tag and strap on the
Suunto next time he's out being the weekend warrior. |
|
|
Make your dad go from stodgy
old fart to hip old guy with a pair of Oakley's from shades.com .
They also have Ray Ban's and some stylish, funky ass swimming
goggles. |
|
|
All I got to say is "custom
golf clubs" baby! For those dads who are out trying to qualify
for the Seniors PGA tour, CustomGolf.com
lets you pick out heads, shafts and grips (get out of the gutter,
kids) to have custom-built clubs shipped to him directly. |
|
|
Check out these fly Bausch
& Lomb bi-knocks, at gear.com
so he can spy on the neighbors with impunity. They have an incredible
variety of sporting goods equipment at ridiculous deals (1/3
to 50% off of your typical prices). |
|
|
| gadget freaks: |
Don't tell Pops that he's
got hair growing out of his ears and nose. Just get him one of
these Star Trek-looking "personal grooming devices"
from Sharper Image.com . He can figure out what to use it for. |
|
 |
If he's bugging your moms
by cranking Rachmaninoff throughout the house, get him some boss
Koss headphones at Hifi.com (they
offer free shipping). |
|
 |
| Keep the guy from pissing
off other drivers or running off the road, with this handsfree
holder for Nokia and Motorola phones. This is a good, inexpensive
and useful gift from Sharper Image.com. |

|
| gourmands: |
|
What does your dad think
about meat? Check out this website that ships premium cuts of
fresh meat (and seafood) virtually anywhere. This here is a slab
of Black Angus Filet Mignon. Think of it like sending flowers
to Mom on mother's day, only meatier. Meat your dad at Ackerman and Cooke's
website. |
|
|
Is your dad a boozer? Send
him a fancy bottle of 15 year old Single Malt Scotch or a nice
bottle of wine. That way he'll think he raised you well (we won't
let him know that you keep the fridge stocked with Pabst Blue
Ribbon, will we)? Go to (appropriately enough) Liquor.com
to get seemingly high-quality liquor at any price range. |
|
 |
| quick and easy: |
Can't think of what to get
pops? Get him some floozie. It's the quickest, most convenient
way to score big, with the old man. Send him a Flooz.com gift
certificate which is good at over 60 major online retailers such
as Barnes & Noble, Tower Records, Starbucks, Fog Dog, Outpost
and many more. Plus they're offering a deal where if send someone
$30 of Flooz you get $15 of Flooz for yourself (or $25 for $50). |

|
You can always get the guy
some new cds. Use the search box to find CD's of his favorite
artist, whether its the Three Tenors, The Drifters, or Yanni.
At least, you won't have to listen to it. You can go to CD
Universe
to get music, DVD and even video games. |
