Father’s Day is almost here, and if you’re as busy as we are at ClarityZone Magazine, you probably haven’t had ample time to find the perfect gift for the man who gave you the gift of life. It sounds like a tall order, but no need to fret! We are going to point you in the direction of some simple and cost-friendly Father’s Day gifts.

In preparation for all the Father’s Day festivities, perhaps your father could use a little wardrobe revamping. Forever 21 may not be the first store that comes to mind, but they have an extensive and reasonably-priced collection of menswear. For as low as a fifty-dollar budget, you can give your father’s wardrobe a little fashion pick-me-up.

If your father is already a sharp dresser, it’s time to look to his favorite pastimes: spending quality time with his children and watching sports. Why not combine the two by getting your father some nosebleed seats to watch his favorite team in action? It can be the perfect bonding opportunity… as long as you bring your binoculars! This outing should not put you out more than forty dollars, including the overpriced hotdogs!

For all those fathers who aren’t huge sports fans, how about you do something special for his prized possession—his car! A car wash and detail can cost a pretty penny, so take out your sponge, hose and some (daisy duke) shorts, and surprise him with a clean car. And if you’re really feeling the love, vacuum the interior, which is the ultimate way to show him you care. Just an hour of your time will put a big smile on your father’s face, not to mention save him the time and energy of getting it done professionally.

In case your cleaning skills and cash flow are challenged, you can always make him a duct tape wallet, which never goes out of style! This is definitely a very cost-friendly option, and with a little help from Duck Brand, you can pull off this art project flawlessly. Duck Brand offers a wide selection of colors and trimmings to help you create a one-of-a-kind piece for your one-of-a-kind father.

If you still feel stuck for gift ideas, it’s time to get creative, just like in grade school! You may be past your paste-eating phase, but you’re never too old for handmade coupons, which can give your father anything from a night out with you to a day of watching sports uninterrupted. These nearly-free slips of paper can even have you doing your father’s chores for a week. Nothing says love like cleaning a greasy, grimy barbeque grill!
