In just a few day, we will be celebrating all things D-A-D. Yup, whether he enjoys his day with breakfast in bed or an early golf game or a BBQ where he's King of the Grill, it is his day. Don't want to just hand over another tie? Check out these cool combo gifts for Dad that don't cost a fortune (even though he deserves one that does).

Re-Cover and Re-App him - Upload some cool new apps he can use and get them onto his phone or iPad when he's not looking. A cute surprise for him. Look at the InstaPaper, which allows him to store articles so he can read them later, as well as iHandy Level, a level that is on his phone! MacGyver wished he had this! Add in a cool cover for his phone with his favorite team's logo, and he is grooving right along.

Let Him Cook in Style - If he's grilling hot dogs or making an amazing gumbo, give him some new gear to create in style. These boxing gloves hot mitts are cool, as is this funny apron (Good Lookin is Cookin!).

Tell Him He's A Rockstar - Literally, get him a shirt that let's the world know just how awesome he is -- this one is perfect. Add to it a simple, fun crafty gift from the kids - have them go out and grab rocks and paint them. They can be lucky charms for his office or the garage or on his bedside table. Cute and fun for everyone.

What do you give the dads in your life for Father's Day?

Well I just usually give my Daddy a phone call because he lives so far away from us and I never know what he wants because he already has everything and always tells me to save my money.

As for my Hubby we usually get him new fishing gear or tools but this year he wants us to save our money so that we can have enough money to make it to PA for vacation.

We decided that his newly rennovated den would be his father's day gift.
