Father’s Day Gifts: Dad Deserves Some Snob Love!

Dads can be tough to buy for. We know you’ve got the tie, sweater and power tools covered, so here are some things you might not have considered. Hey, Dad deserves some creativity, right? (Now a fancy TV or video game sounds basic, but these are particularly worthy of mention.)

1) A Manly Video Game: L.A. Noire ($55.21), totally edgy and grown-up, is the biggest deal in video games right now. How do I know, you ask? My husband rushed out to wait in line at Best Buy the day it was released, like a kid on Christmas morning. This is a man who never gets excited about anything (he is super-calm 99% of the time – the one percent reserved for L.A. Noire!). You can also visit 25pc.com for the best gaming PC builds for any budget. This can also be a great gift for him if he’s planning on switching to PC gaming.

2) A Super-Slim TV: This Samsung television (starting at $1,819.12) is ultra, ultra-thin. There just might be an ulterior (make that interior!) motive for you hidden in this slim gift: it takes up less room and looks so much better than your average flat screen.

3) The Only Jewelry Any Dad Needs: Ahhh, the Rolex ($7,000 – $12,000). Finally, he will comprehend the depths of how much you love him! As a result, he will forgive you for any missteps you ever commit (an especially good gift for those buying for her hubby!). The Day-Date II in platinum with an ice-blue face is particularly clean and simple and can be a great gift for him, even on his birthday.

4) A Hardcore Workout: Not that you think he’s fat (never! Even if he’s got a little paunch!), but health is the most important thing in life. You may not be able to buy it, but it can be helped along with the assistance of a cute, buff trainer. Male, of course.

5) A Superhero Cape: The perfect trench is hard to find. This one by Hugo Boss ($521.99 from $735) in deep, dark blue is definitely cool enough, but not so cool that he’ll look like he’s trying too hard – and then end up just looking like a dork.

6) A Gadget for Jamming Quietly: Headphones can range wildly in price and features. This Audio-Technica pair ($155.79) has all the features and a nice price. Recommended by some serious music buffs (I do my research!), unless he has super-sonic hearing, he won’t benefit from headphones that cost more than these.
