10 truly cool personalized gifts for dad...that you can still order in time!

We’ve shared so many cool personalized Father’s Day gifts over the years, as well as personalized gifts for everyone on your holiday or shopping list — but the catch is, you often have to shop early. So I’m so happy to share these fantastic personalized gifts for dad for the last-minute shopper. Even if uh, nearly two weeks to go until Father’s Day isn’t at all last-minute for some of us.

Of course, if you’re really down to the wire, contact the maker or retailer to confirm your drop-dead shipping deadline, or prepare to create a really creative IOU card.
