Father’s Day is just around the corner, which means it’s time to pick out the perfect present. June 18th is a day to celebrate everything Dad does for his family, so it's customary to get pops a little something. Luckily we’ve found impressive gift options for any budget, from a $10 bug bite suction tool to a $299 top-rated pizza oven, with plenty of mid-range gifts in between.

We spoke to commerce industry expert Eric Dahan, CEO/Co-Founder of creator marketing company Open Influence about shopping for Father's Day this year. "The best gifts are always the ones that people will use and enjoy," Dahan points out. So if you buy something that Dad will love, that makes it a great value. "Take a minute to think about your father's lifestyle, hobbies, and passion," he says. And once you hone in on something Dad would like, look for the right price. "My advice to those shopping online is to look out for deals!" he says. With 2021's business boom combined with the recent recession slowdown this year, "there are many brands looking to move old inventory — which typically means good deals."

Many folks are watching their budgets. If this is the case for you, Dad might appreciate something like the latest SodaStream, so he can make his own bubble water and beverages (and stop shelling out for canned drinks). Or a home putting mat so the golfer in your life can get some swings in at home for free — it's only $42! If you need even more solid gift ideas, give our list a look. The perfect Father’s Day present might be just a click away.

It was good to go for my first practice session. The ball rolled like it would on a natural green and the ten foot length offers is great for distance as well as close putts.

Three preset carbonation levels allow customization at the touch of a button, and we love how a blue light illuminates the water as its bubbling. (It's just fun, OK?) The E-Terra is simple to use, and dad won’t need to buy any more individual cans of sparkling water.
