In celebration of all of the dads, the yearly observation of Father's Day offers up an opportunity to express our love, sing their praises, and refill their supply of Old Spice.
In hopes of ensuring that this year's Father's Day is unlike any other, consider this self-proclaimed list of "The Greatest Father's Day Gifts Ever". I have divided the list into the 3 typical male categories, but if your husband does really fit into any of these "types", know that mac daddy grills, televisions, and promises of uninterrupted dad time are usually safe bets.
And now the list....(PART I)
The High-Tech / Gadget Dad:
In Keeping with the Budget- Swiss Memory USB Army Knife, Portable Satelite Radio (XM for O&A or Baseball; Sirius for NFL and Howard Stern)
Siding with the Splurge- IPhone, Virtual Keyboard, GPS System
MegaGift - The MacBook Air, Ginormous Flat Screen TV (but let him pick it out...that is almost as fun as watching it).
The Sports Fan Father:
In Keeping with the Budget- Wii Sports Games, Rookie Cards of his favorite players, Sports Memorabilia a la eBay, A promise of uninterrupted viewing of one NFL team a week
Siding with the Splurge- Tickets to a game (especially an away one), The MLB Sports Package(for baseball lovers)
MegaGift- Dreamweek, Luxury Box Seats, Can you say Super Bowl?
The Weekend Warrior:
In Keeping with the Budget- Gift card to Home Depot
Siding with the Splurge- Gift Card to Home Depot
MegaGift- Allowing him to work part-time at Home Depot
**Of course, gift cards are always good for techies and sports nuts too. Think Apple or Best Buy, or Dick's or Modell's respectively.
Finally, if you are not excited by any of these gifts, stay tuned for the only guaranteed, wife-of-the-year worthy present.

A word of warning regarding the MLB Extra Innings (on DirecTV) or other similar games-on-TV packages: as the wife of a rabid Red Sox fan and former subscriber to the Extra Innings package, be prepared to have nothing on your television from now until late October but baseball. The game watching possibilities are endless, and you will join me in becoming a confirmed baseball widow with this package. As a result, this year we compromised and let Extra Innings go, and ordered a somewhat similar package for satellite radio, as I could take it no more. Now my husband follows games on the internet and the radio more occasionally, and his attention has (somewhat) returned to us most of the rest of the time. :)
