Did Father’s Day completely sneak up on you this year? We’ve been there before. Of course, it’s not like you didn’t want to get your dad or partner something great; it’s just that you’ve been suuuuper-busy, right? And anyway, we’re pretty sure it’s safe to say dads (and dudes in general) are notoriously hard to shop for. Nobody wants to hand Dad yet another tie/golf shirt/pair of slippers this June, so we don’t blame you for procrastinating the task a little — or a lot.
But luckily, the future is now, and thanks to the marvels of modern-day technology, aka Amazon Prime, all hope is not lost. You can still find a gift worthy of every fab father figure in your life, even at the eleventh hour. Because the magical Prime genies will ship to you or Dad in two days flat. (And in some cases, they’ll even do next-day or same-day shipping, depending on where you live.)
So, without further ado, here’s a list of the best show-Dad-some-love-ASAP gifts available on Amazon Prime for all us lazy kids (and adults) to shop.
