Father's Day is almost here! Sunday, June 21 is the big day, and if you are a last-minute shopper, this post is for you. We have less than a week to hunt for the perfect gift for Dear Ol' Dad, yikes!! Dads can be difficult to shop for! Whether they love everything their kids bring home, or already own everything you can think of, these gifts are sure to please.

Quality Time
Quality time is priceless! Take your dad fishing or take him to the driving range to hit a few golf balls. A few years ago, I took my dad to the Atlanta Spring Wine Festival in the backyard of my amazing Camden Fourth Ward apartment. We had a blast taste testing wines and exploring in our own city. If you live in the Buckhead area, near Camden Pacesor Camden Buckhead Square, try what my siblings and I did a few years back and spend the day out with dad at one of Atlanta’s famous breweries like SweetWater. Nothing shows how much you appreciate your dad than good quality time.
A Project
The best thing about Dads is that they truly just want to be involved and help. Invite your dad in on a project you’re working on and see how quickly that menial task becomes a joyful memory. A good example of a project is when my brother was preparing his home for a new baby, he and our dad made a day of putting the baby’s crib together. They both found it to be productive, rewarding, and, most importantly, very fun!

Personalized Photo Calendar (Walgreen’s, Shutterfly**, etc.)**
This is a big hit with dads! Every year I make a calendar highlighting all the adventures we had the previous year. Make some new memories to capture while splashing around in the Camden Fair Lakes pool, or playing giant chess in Camden Thornton Park’s courtyard? These are memories you want to capture and remember! My dad absolutely loves this gift. It’s a smaller, more frequently looked at scrapbook and is great for dad’s fridge, home office, or man cave. It is only $30, but it makes a special gift for a special dad!

The Craft Beer Club’s Beer Subscription Box
If your dad loves to relax and drink a beer every now and then, this is the gift for him. Each month dad will get to try new brews that will be delivered right to his door and he can take them straight to his Camden balcony to enjoy a brew with a view (check out the Atlanta skyline from Camden Vantage or Camden Post Oak’s high rise views of Houston). The size of the box can vary and there is a large variety of subscription services from different companies for you to choose from, but there is no doubt that a beer subscription box will be the gift that keeps on giving. Fingers crossed he’ll share!

Is your dad constantly telling the family “it’s time to get moving!” Mine is too. For the active dad who can’t stand to sit, gift the GoSports Portable Cornhole Game. Everywhere your dad goes, he’ll have a game that everyone can play and cheer on together. Take it along to your local Camden’s playground, like these playgrounds at Camden Peachtree City and Camden Visconti, for a day of endless fun. It’s lightweight and easy to set up so you can go from sleepy to celebratory in minutes.

If your dad is the artistic or musical type, show him that you couldn’t have “picked” a better dad with this customizable guitar pick. What better way to show him how much you love him than to support his beloved art? You can personalize the pick to say whatever you would like. The finished pick comes in a leather pouch and can be shipped right to dad's door and easily transported to the recording studio. Your dad can even record his own music in The Camden’s Jam Room. Best. Gift. Ever.

Does your dad wield his creative powers in the kitchen? Help him serve a trendy charcuterie board on his gorgeous white quartz countertops at the Camden Grandview Townhomes with this customized cutting board.

Maybe he’s your own personal King of the Grill? A sturdy cutting board is ideal for grilling out at any Camden grill station, like this gorgeous one at Camden Old Town Scottsdale. Either way, he will love this wood cutting board. He can chop, serve, or display the board in his kitchen and show everyone why cooking is cool.
