Father's Day Gift Guide

GPS Golf Watch

Dads love to golf, but another new club isn't going to help them out. Instead, check out the Garmin Approach S3 watch. This stylish wrist gadget is like a golfing smart phone, packed with more than 27,000 worldwide courses. It displays yardages to the front, back and middle of greens on a high-res, glove-friendly touchscreen. It lets you manually position pins, get distances to doglegs and layups, customize yardage points, print digital scorecards, and find out how far you hit your drive. It's also waterproof and functions as an everyday watch ($350).

Deep Fryer

All dads have a grill, but very few have the option to deep fry their grub. This year, get him the Gordon Ramsay Everyday 3L Deep Fryer, available at Kmart and Sears. With its convenient at-home size and sleek design, this fryer is bound to turn any plain old meal into something extra delicious for dad ($45).

T-Rex Apron

Sticking with the cooking theme but adding in a dinosaur theme, here's a fun Jurassic Apron that let's your father know he rules in the kitchen (or at the grill). One size fits most dads ($22.50).

XZIPIT by La-Z-Boy Recliners

If your old man like sports, and also likes to be comfortable while watching sports, then these XZIPIT by La-Z-Boy recliners are the way to go. If you are not a Yankees fan, don't be turned off. The chairs allow you to zip in and zip out your favorite teams with a patented hidden zipper design for easy customization. NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, NASCAR and college teams available. One sports logo panel is free with each chair purchased (starting prices range from $729-$889).

iPad Arcade Cabinet

Ok, if your dad doesn't already have an iPad, get him that first. But if he does already have one, then you must consider the iCADE. In just a minute, his iPad will be transformed into a desktop-sized arcade machine with retro joystick and buttons. To use the iCADE, gently slide the iPad into the cradle, and it will use Bluetooth to connect to the iPad, so there's nothing else you need to do ($100, games available through the App Store).

Chocolate Stogies

We all know that smoking is bad for you, so ditch the real cigars that he gave out when you were born and treat him with these delicious milk chocolate cigars from Godiva. Dads with a sweet tooth with enjoy this gourmet Father's Day gift ($15).

Smooth Pool Cues

Every good dad deserves a good pool table, so let's assume yours already has one. Now he's going to want to play billiards in style, and that's where the VELVET Series Cue Collection comes in. Each cue features piloted joint two-piece construction, expertly weighted and balanced for smooth play and brilliant shots. The collection includes eight distinct styles, ranging in price from $60 to $150.

Star Wars Shirts

You can never really go wrong with a funny t-shirt, and this Darth Vader themed set for father and kids is pretty sweet, especially if the family is not afraid to show off some inner nerd (two-shirt set available, as well).

Boost Speaker for Smartphones

For musical fathers on the go, the new iFrogz Boost speaker amps up the audio without the hassle of cords or any Bluetooth configuration. Dad simply has to set his smartphone on top of the Boost while the external speakers are playing, and his favorite jams will be boosted with room-filling sound.

24-Hour Power System

New from Duracell, the Powermat system will keep dad charged up all day long, eliminating any worry of a dead battery. The system includes a wireless charging case for the iPhone, a backup battery and the Powermat. Wireless technology will connect the case to the Powermat and charge it perfectly. The sleek charging Powermat comes in black and white ($100 for the whole system).

Beer Can Chicken Rack

The most affordable gift on our list is perhaps the best, as it gives your father an excuse to buy beer and meat. The stainless steel rack can be used on the grill or in the oven. Simply place an open beer in the rack, put the chicken on and as it cooks, the beer bastes it from the inside for a juicy, tender and tasty chicken (only $6.50).

All the Right Tools

It really doesn't get much more simple than this: Dads need tools. How else are they supposed to fix everything? The Craftsman 255-piece Mechanics Tool Set is the perfect gift for a new dad, a dad with a new house, or a dad who just needs to upgrade his set ($150).

Sipping Stones

If your old man enjoys a stiff drink, and he doesn't like it watered down, stone him! The aficionado's choice for chilling a drink, Sipping Stones will cool your dad's liquor to optimum drinking temperature without adding any foreign taste or watering it down, leaving the drink entirely as nature and man intended ($15).

Gun Lamp

From the "entirely unnecessary but completely awesome" gift category comes the BANG! Lamp. Yes, it's a desk lamp with a gun-shaped remote used to "shoot" the light on and off. When you shoot it off, the lampshade knocks to the side like it's been hit. Shoot it again, and the light comes on and the shade returns to form. Perfect for a father in need of an office lamp with a sense of humor ($325).
