As Father’s Day approaches, many of us are stumped. What do you get the guy who has everything? Not another mug, tie or polo shirt, that’s for sure. What you give to the hard-to-buy-for dad, if we may make a suggestion, is a personalized present.

No matter which of these tailored gifts you grab for the father figures in your life, your love will come through loud and clear. Need more ideas? Check out our gift guides for every type of dad, unique gifts for that ultra-special dad, practical gifts he’ll actually use and Target gifts he probably already wants.

The artists at Paint Your Life are genius talents, making warm, emotional portraits that will give everyone the feels out of your nothing-special digital images. And what’s extra great about their service is that they can work with components of multiple photos. So in other words, if you look bad in the picture your hubby and kids look perfect in, they can pull you in from a different photo.

Amazon Explore Live Virtual Experience

Treat Dad to something he absolutely is not expecting: a virtual global experience. Book him a live, interactive session hosted by a local expert, who’ll introduce him to a destination he’s always dreamed about. These aren’t videos. He can speak with his guide (and other locals that guide interacts with) and even take pictures. You have more than 250 experiences and locations to pick from.

Would he like to make fresh pasta with the Toscana sisters in Italy? Explore Munich’s castles? Or, for something the kids will enjoy experiencing with him, why not set them up to meet the pups at the Costa Rica Dog Rescue or get up close and personal with koalas and kangaroos in Australia?
