Don’t forget about your father!
Not that you ever would… but on the off chance that you have yet to pick up a present for your pops this Father’s Day, this is the article to be reading.
If you’ve been in a daze since Memorial Day Weekend (or heck, even before that) and have misplaced your calendar, Father’s Day 2023 takes place on June 18 this year.
Because of the weekend timing, you may need to hop to it, as FedEx and other mailing services are known to be slower or not partake in Sunday deliveries.
That being said, not all hope it lost. In fact, we have some great ideas for you ranging from the simple-but-mighty gift card, Amazon finds with one or two-day shipping and even some delicious treats that can be ordered in a snap.
Be it your father, grandfather, father-figure or even a new father-to-be, these gifts are sure to please and even better, arrive on time, should you order at least a day or two in advance. Be sure to note delivery times on each product to ensure a happy dad come the big day.
1. Boarderie Diletto Cheese & Charcuterie Board, $159
This gift is anything but cheesy. For a last minute gift that looks (and tastes) super planned out, get dad a gourmet charcuterie board for his Father’s Day lunch or brunch spread. This is also an Oprah’s Favorite Thing, and soon to be a Dad’s Favorite Thing, too. They offer next-day delivery, so be sure to order by June 16 to ensure it arrives on time.
2. Darn Tough Vermont Men’s ABC Boot Midweight Hiking Sock, $27
Your dad is a tough guy and he needs darn tough socks to match.

Orders typically ship out within two to three business days and you can also opt for expedited shipping at checkout.
3. Google Pixel Watch, $300
