One of my fave go-to sites for gifts, UncommonGoods.com, has lots of clever, dad-worthy gifts under $25. Here are a few of my favorites:

 

USB Battery Charger: Perfect for on-the-go, gadget-loving dads. Charges two AA batteries using a computer's USB drive. $22frame_sm.jpg

LP Record Fra
me: Philly artist Jeff Davis designed these mod frames made from old 33 LPs. Pop in your favorite photo and this gift's sure to rock. $22

Magnetic Dots Desk Organizer: Six super-strong ceramic magnet "dots" hold business cards, folders, and more. $20


Magnetic Wristband: Great for fix-it dads. Holds nails, screws, nuts, and all those other things that have a way of falling to the ground just after Dad's climbed to the top of the ladder. $17

You can earn 8% for college when you shop UncommonGoods.com through Upromise.

Fathers Day Gift Idea: Meat!

meat.jpgWe've bestowed meat from Omaha Steaks upon various dads in our family several times over the past couple of years. They always rave about how good it is. I have sampled said goodness, my friends. That's why I highly recommend giving Omaha Steaks to your (non-vegetarian) dad for Fathers Day. Right now you can save up to 65% on grilling assortments. Plus, order now and you'll get 6 free Omaha Steaks Burgers, a free six-Piece Cutlery Set and a free cutting board sent to every shipping address in your order.

 

I like the Weekender Combo: 8 gourmet burgers, 8 top sirloins, and 8 gourmet franks for $44. You can also add sides and desserts to your order. Yum!

 

Your Upromise earnings at Omaha Steaks are pretty meaty, too. You can earn 10% for college when you shop through Upromise.

Right now take $5 off a $20 purchase at LEGO.com with code bscd28 when you shop through Upromise (exp. 7/1). You can also earn 3% for college.

 

You can shop by age at LEGO.com, which makes it easy to find appropriate sets. I recommend the LEGO Large Brick Box for kids four and up. It's $29.99. Parents of younger kids can pick up the larger DUPLO blocks at LEGO.com as well. Also be sure to check out the "Sales and Deals" area for savings of up to 50% and more.
