We're certainly not sweating it, however, thanks to a little thing called Prime two-day shipping.

When Is Father’s Day?
Father’s Day falls on the third Sunday of June each year, and this year, it happens to be Sunday, June 19. A little-known fact on the the celebration of fatherhood? While it was widely supported as an honorary holiday for many years, with a bill being introduced to Congress to make it national as far back as 1913, it was not until President Lyndon B. Johnson declared the third Sunday in June a day to honor fathers in 1966 that it would succeed, eventually being passed into law in 1972 by President Richard Nixon—the same year of the first official Father's Day.
When Will My Last-Minute Father’s Day Gift Arrive?
Lucky for all your procrastinators out there, Amazon gets it, offering speedy two-day and even one-day shipping for select items (it pays to be a Prime member).

What Are Good Father’s Day Gifts?
You can't really go wrong if you keep your dad’s interests in mind. Consider what he's into: Does he like relaxing at home? Get him some new slippers. If he's the rugged type, outdoorsy items that will satisfy his hobbies or home DIY urges will be a hit. Always snacking? How about a jerky bouquet? Frequent flier? There's a toiletry backpack for that. Most of all, give from the heart—a sweet gift will show him just how much you appreciate all that he’s done for you.

It's also available with or without RFID technology to keep scammers from getting his credit card information.
2. MEATER Plus
Best for the Grill "Master"
Why We Love It for Dad: Monitors internal and external temps, sends an app notification when it's ready
Even if dad says he knows when the steak has hit medium rare just by eyeballing it, he could probably still use a little help. This wireless meat thermometer has two sensors that will monitor both the internal and external temperatures of whatever it is that he’s grilling, plus, it's got a phone app that will ping him when it's just right, so he won’t overcook the bird while he's gabbing with Uncle Larry.

The options are endless! Best of all? There's no shipping deadline.

This waterproof, Bluetooth speaker has incredible sound, according to the more than 4,5000 5-star reviewers who love it, and is built for durability, so he can use it in his garage, take it camping or listen to it on the beach—it even floats in water! He'll also get a reported 12 hours of play time, so the jams will never run out.
6. Southpole Active Joggers
Best for the Lounge-Lover
Why We Love It for Dad: Cozy, adjustable waist
You can never go wrong with a simple pair of sweatpants. Happy buyers say these ones have a soft, cozy interior, and there's a cinch-cord waist for custom comfort. "Listen y'all, these aren't pants. These are warm, soft clouds that just sorta hover around your lower body," wrote one reviewer. If we were the betting type, we'd venture to guess that dad will be slipping into these as soon as he gets home from work—and we don’t blame him. Big and tall sizing is also available.

Why We Love It for Dad: Works without gas, smokeless flame

This portable stainless-steel container makes it easy to ignite a flame, and the company claims that the double-walled design maximizes airflow for a better, less smoky, fire (the latter part of which we can attest to). That means pops won’t have to tend to the fire all night long (unless, you know, he wants to.)
9. Stanley French Press
Best for the Dad Who Likes His Coffee Black
Why We Love It for Dad: Insulated, durable
If dad's a bit of a coffee snob, a French press will be right up his alley.

Convince dad that he should really embrace the slides without socks life once and for all with these waterproof Birkenstocks. After all, they're comfortable, cool and come in a bunch of colorways.

Dad can use it camping, at the beach or while walking around the house with a cold one.
16. OluKai Leather Moloa Slippers
Best for the Homebody
Why We Love It for Dad: Stylish, genuine leather, cozy

Why We Love It for Dad: Fun, family-oriented
If your father needs a new game to beat everyone in during family game night, this could be a nice one to add to the mix. The rules are simple enough: Draw a card to set the topic, then roll the die to find out what letter your responses to the topic must start with. Everyone writes down as many as they can in a set time, after which they'll have to lobby for bragging rights of "best answer." Needless to say, some serious negotiation tactics are needed—which will be right up dad's alley.

Why We Love It for Dad: Promotes health, tracks sleep
Dad doesn't have to wear a cumbersome, bulky device on his wrist to track his health.

Said to be way more efficient than a fork, they'll have Dad making pulled pork on the regular (bonus for you!).
