Gifts for Father's Day for Under $15 (Some Under $10)

Just in Time for June 17th!

Come Father's Day, you might find yourself with limited funds, but still wanting to find a special gift for dad or Grandpa. Or maybe as with our family, there was a time when we had dad, three grandpas and one great-grandpa to remember on Father's Day. Obviously inexpensive gifts were necessary. Here is a list of the top ten gift ideas for under $10 or $15 that you can adapt to suit the tastes of the men in your life on Father's Day.

Family Dollar and Dollar General stores are both an excellent source for reasonably priced quality items. I have shopped in both of these establishments in many locations for 20 years and I've always been satisfied with the product. Of course, keep an eye open for good sales at local superstores or department stores like Sears, Target and Kohl's as well.

1) Event tickets or a fishing license. Fishing licenses run about $15 for a basic license. If dad likes ball games, sporting events, movies, concerts or plays, you can give him a tickets to attend. Order the tickets directly from the website and you will often save the handling price of ticket dealers.

2) Book, Magazine or Newspaper Subscription: Choose something on his interest level. Motorcycling, Dog breeding, Food and Wine, travel, etc. A magazine offers a nice way to relax for 10 minutes or so when you lack the time get into anything else. He can read it on his break. You can subscribe to a magazine for $10-$15 per year. Barnes and Noble Booksellers offer lovely hardcover special interest books at very low prices in their discount area.

3) A basic outdoor folding chair or footstool; Dads invariably suffer from back pain, tendinitis or some muscular pain. They often don't relax enough. Look for a chair with armrests and a beverage holder that can be carried in a canvas bag. You can find these for $10 or $12 at Walmart, Target or Discount Stores. Get him a nice comfy chair for outdoors or a footstool for his chair for indoors.

4) A chef's apron or long-handled grill utensils Dads love to grill, so get him some good equipment so that he can enjoy his hobby and you can enjoy the food!

5) A hat and or sunglasses. Dads always need these and often lose them!
