Contributed by Tim Brugger, Catalogs.com Top 10 Guru

Fathers Day, by all accounts the single most important day of the year, is certainly a good time to think about the perfect gift for Dad.

However, don’t let the coming and going of this all-important Holiday prevent you from getting one or more of the Best of What to Get Dad items below.

As any father will tell you, there’s never a bad time to show how much you care.

Aim on alma mater

School spirit rules recreation

This gift idea from Ozone Billiards kills the proverbial two birds with one stone. Not only will this beautiful dart board cabinet fit ever-so-nicely with Dad’s den or game room décor, but with the logo from his favorite college team too? If you haven’t seen your father cry, best prepare yourself for some waterworks.

Driver to make his game

and his day

As any self-respecting golfer will tell you; and Dad’s are no different, they’re only one good club away from joining The Tour. Like Mighty Mouse, Pro-Swing’s new Heathway MD Ti is here to save the day. Not only does this answer the universal poser of what to get Dad, but this titanium beauty is delivered right to his door like a gift from Heaven.

Manna for the collector

Cool artifacts

If you’re having a difficult time figuring out what to get Dad and he’s a collector of intriguing artifacts, your search is over. Museum Store Company is chock full of fascinating items for those that appreciate art, culture and history; or just like cool stuff. Take this authentic stock certificate of the White Star Lines infamous Titanic for example; perfect for those that appreciate a touch of history.

Exceptional timekeeping

More than minutes and hours

A watch? You may be thinking a watch is right up there with (yet) another tie on the what to get Dad list of goodies. But this my friends is no ordinary watch. This example from Timepieces International can do everything except magically transport the remote from its current location to the eager hands of your recliner-inhabiting father. In addition to telling time and looking fantastic, the Mens Equinox has day, date, month and lunar dials. And the coup de grace is this beauty runs about a quarter of the suggested retail price.

Serious wine club

The business of wine

Any wine from the Wall Street Journal has got to be all about business – the business of appreciation and relaxation – and dad will appreciate any of the choices from the WSJwine from the Wall Street Journal. He will be more than happy to set aside the work day and revel in your selection of full bodied red or crisp white wines.
