Great Last-Minute Father's Day Gift Ideas

I have a list of easy yet meaningful gift ideas here, but have recently found a few to add to the mix:

For the dad who is globally-minded, and/or is a nurse, doctor or other health worker:

A donation on dad's behalf to Doctors Without Borders

Or if dad is an engineer, try Engineers Without Borders

To encourage bonding with the kids, try The Geekdad Book

And one that will fit parents or grandparents: a photo montage. To do this, load up your memory stick or card with lots of recent (and even a few older) pics of dad and the kids, then head to your local photo lab/Fortinos/Zehrs/SDM etc. Pick a handful of best photos, then arrange them right on the machine in an 8x10 collage. Print, then pick up a suitable frame and you have a memento of great memories spent together.

If you have an hour or two still to put towards the gift, then you may wish to try one of the gifts kids can make ideas here.

When you are done, you can get creative with wrapping and card ideas found here.

Hope you have a great Father's Day weekend!
