Best gifts for Father's Day 2017

Maybe dad would like a memento from his alma mater or favorite team.

Act now to line up a gift for your favorite dad this Father's Day. The special day set aside for the top pop in your life always falls on the third Sunday in June, which means in 2017 we celebrate on SUNDAY, JUNE 18. There's still time to get a thoughtful and one-of-a-kind gift for your dad. Here are some ideas to help you nail it this year.

Find his favorite fragrance.

Do you have fond memories of dad's cologne wafting in your nose when he crushed you in a bear hug as a young cub? Recreate the moment with a gift of the stuff from back in the day.

Track down that manly scent.

Present him with a boss shirt.

Everybody's wardrobe needs a fresh infusion now and then. Find something for dad to wear that captures his personality. (Your thoughtfulness will be extra appreciated if he's the kind of guy who hates to shop.)

This shirt is a showstopper.

Outdoor dudes will dig this classic look.

Add to his collection.

Is your dad a collector of some kind? Zone in on what he's passionate about and find a piece that will complement his collection.  If you don't have time or are worried you won't make the right choice, consider purchasing an eBay gift card.  The gift is doubly good for collectors who believe the hunt is half the fun!

Does a choo-choo get him going?

Is your dad a cast-iron kind of guy?

Score a conversation piece.

You dad will love having something you picked out especially for him in the spaces where he spends his time.

Consider a fierce foo dog to help dad decorate his office or man cave.

Give a nod to your dad's appreciation for art.

Do Dad's Day in a big way this year and let him know he's special.

Ask not what your dad can do for you . Ask what you can do for your dear old dad! Finding something meaningful and useful that's also gently used is a great way to honor dad and the planet.
