With father’s day right around the corner, I’m sure there are many of you still wondering what to get that great father of yours. Am I right? Here are some ideas that won’t leave you scrambling for money under the cushions.

1. Photo Frame – All parents love and appreciate photos of their children. So why not take a very special photo of your father and yourself and put it in a nice, but inexpensive frame? This kind of gift will never go out of style!

2. Gift Basket – All those freebies and cheap items you’ve been getting from couponing are taking up too much space in your home, so why not give your dad a basket filled with things he can use. You don’t really need 30 razors do you? Give dad a few! Shaving cream, shampoo, soaps, toothpaste and much more can go in these baskets and since you paid next do nothing for these items, this is a very frugal gift idea!

3. Homemade Meal – Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even dessert – you can make a fantastic meal for your dad this Father’s Day at a relatively inexpensive price. Shop around for prices or even better – use up the stuff in your pantry! Dad will appreciate the time you spent making him this special meal.

4. Car Wash – Why not clean dad’s car? You won’t have to pay for a thing except maybe a car air-freshener. Clean the interior, vaccuum every crevice and give the exterior a good wash and there you go – something that will make dad very happy and not cost you anything!

5. Scrapbook – This one might take a bit of time to get done, but it is a great idea for anyone! You can get a book for around $5.00 at Wal-Mart – look in their clearance section, and you can get all sorts of scrapbooking materials at the dollar store. Plus, making scrapbooks is fun!

6. Handmade Bookmarks – Does your dad like to read? Why not make him some bookmarks? Use some thick paper (like cardstock) and write a little poem or letter and then decorate with stamps or stickers. This is a great idea for kids, but adults can do it too!
