Okay- we’re in the home stretch of the Father’s Day gifting season. That means your days are numbered to come up with the perfect gift for dad. But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

When looking for gifts for dads, think about his interests. Tons of dads love to get behind the grill and work their magic. That’s why I like gifts that will help him enhance his flair in front of the flame. A grilling gift basket will really hit the mark. Loaded with sauces, rubs, marinades, and grilling accessories “The Flame Enthusiast” gift basket will help dad up his grilling game significantly. Another good thing about the gift basket is dad will most likely want to do a little show and tell and give you a sample of his newly found grilling skills. 

If the gift basket isn’t his style, you can still find gifts for dad the “Grill Master” right here.

As a Gift Guru, I realize getting a guy a great Valentine’s Day gift can seem like a daunting task. At the same time, if you think about the relationship stage you’re in, you can really take the guess work out of coming up with a great gift. 

So congratulations, you’ve passed “The Crush” stage and you’re fully immersed in a sizzling, new relationship…we like to call the “Puppy Love” stage. Puppy Love means it’s early, but things are going really well. You’ve stopped counting what date number you’re on, and you can’t wait for the next one. At this point, in the gifting department, there are two ways to go- and the good thing is, there’s no wrong answer. 

You could either let him know how into him you are with a gift that speaks to his interests. For example, you know every moment he’s not with you, he has his iPod on. So cater to his Music Lover side and get him the upgrade in ear bud earphones he’s been talking about. Or you can go an entirely different direction, which may be a little more fun. At this point, there’s a good chance you can think about getting a little friskier in the gift area. Why not try “Chocoholics body frosting”? Sure it’s not really subtle, than again, “Puppy Love” is the stage where you can get away with stuff like that. Who knows, it might just lead to “Fallen 4 U” stage.

Chocoholics Body Frosting starting at $29.95. 

As mentioned previously, one way to approach a Valentine’s Day gift is to think about the relationship stage you’re in. 

As we all know, the first stage, also known as the “Crush” stage may be the one that’s the most fun- or at least it is until you get to the Boyfriend (or Girlfriend) stage. Valentine’s Day offers a great opportunity to take all that flirting and innuendo to the next phase with a gift that makes intentions a little more out in the open. But at the same time, a gift for a Crush still leaves things light hearted and loose. No need to go too fast at this point!  So feed his ego a bit with a fun gift such as the “Chicks Dig You” cereal bowl. He’ll laugh, he’ll like it, and maybe just importantly, he’ll know the ball’s in his court to reciprocate- hopefully in the near future.

Chicks Dig You Cereal Bowl starting at $14.99. 

The football-less week between the conference finals and the Super Bowl is like torture for football fanatics. But the two week tease between games gives you the chance to put together a plan for watching the big game in style. 

If you’re a Cards or Steelers fan, the first thing to do is update your gear. The next thing you should know is how your tailgating tools stack up. If you’re hosting a party, you’re going to get a lot of heat if your game day spread isn’t up to snuff.  Likewise, if you attending a Super Bowl party, you should really think about bringing a little something for your host. A fun football gift for the hosts is a sure way to get the party call for next year.

BTW: Gift Guru prediction for the big game? I like the Cards in a good old-fashioned upset.

Two Gift Guru tips on how to “gift well” for men on Valentine’s Day.

First is easy- shop now. Take the hassle of scrambling around to find him a gift at the last minute out of the equation by shopping now for that thoughtful gift. Then, you can subtly let him know you got him a great gift putting the pressure ON HIM (sorry guys) to come up big for you February 14th.

Second Guru tip- If you’re in doubt about a Valentine’s Gift, think about the stage of the relationship your in (like the “Crush”, “Puppy Love” etc.). For example, a gift for the “Together 4 Ever” relationship is all about getting something thoughtful (not necessarily expensive!) that reflects his personal style or interests, if it happens to lean towards the romantic side, you’ll get some extra points. Some ideas for the “Together 4 Ever” stage I like are a new fragrance you love (and think he’d like too) or a sampling of his favorite food or beverage. All it takes is just a little something to remind him no one in the world knows and loves him more than you!
