Father’s Day is only a few weeks away, and the last thing the dad in your life needs is another boring necktie or hardware store gift card – sorry, but it’s true.  Even if you are on a limited budget, you can still give a classy gift in June. Get creative this year and show dad that a budget doesn’t sacrifice style, with these sophisticated Father’s Day gifts.

5 classy Father’s Day gifts under $20

The Dollar Shave Club: For $1, $6 or $9 a month, 4 high quality razors get sent to dad’s door.  My brother-in-law likes the company because he saves over $100 a year on shaving. I like the company because their advertising is hilarious.

Spice Rub Set: Head to the Farmer’s Market or your pantry and gather up various spices. Mix them together in small mason jars for delicious homemade steak and chicken rubs that dad is sure to love this summer. If you have kids, set up different “stations” and let them mix their own!

Sock 101: Whether dad heads to the office or the grocery, he should do it in style. For $10 a month, the man in your life will receive a fun, yet professional pair of socks. Or if you aren’t into the “of the month” type of gift, you can purchase the socks individually for only $7!

Whisky Stones: Sometimes after a long day, all dad wants is to relax with a stiff drink. Adding these Vermont-milled soapstones will chill his favorite spirit without diluting the flavor.

Dad is fat: Several dads in my life rave about this hilarious funny-because-it’s-true book about fatherhood by comedian Jim Gaffigan. His humor is clean, clever and “a cry for help from a man who has realized he and his wife are outnumbered in their own home”. They have five kids – Lord help them.
