Father's Day 2013: Don't buy Dad a tie.

| This is a sponsored post of behalf of Retail Me Not |

Can you remember what you gave your dad for Father's Day last year? Year before? If you gave a tie or a coffee mug, the Dad in your life may not be too happy. A recent survey done by RetailMeNot shows 32% of Dad's don't want a tie and 19% don't want a coffee mug. That's along with 27% who don't want a tee with some type of Dad slogan on it. We need to step it up with the Dad gifts! 

Did I knock out all your ideas there? Well, here are a few things that you could give instead. 

1. Golf related items

Tees, ball markers and towels are all great smaller gifts. How about new head covers, a nice new golf shirt or even a new club that he's been dropping hints about? 

Use a RetailMeNot coupon from Sports Authority to save $10 off your $30 purchase!

2. Real men eat meat

What man wouldn't be happy with some great steaks? 

Use a RetailMeNot coupon from Omaha Steaks to save $30 off your $60 purchase and get free shipping! 

3. Buy him dinner 

With family time being right up there with things that Dad's want for Father's Day, why not take the whole family out for a nice meal! I love this one, because everyone actually benefits from it.

Use a RetailMeNot coupon to grab a $25 gift card to Restaurant.com for just $5!

4. Tool Man Dad

I think I'm right in saying most men could use some sort of tools. Either a new one or a replacement one, this is a category that is super useful and also strokes the man ego. 

Use a RetailMeNot coupon to The Home Depot to save up to 60% off Father's Day gifts as well as saving $5 off your $50 purchase.  

5. Get your travel on

Wether it's 1 night away or a week long vacation, a little surprise break from the day to day is always appreciated.

He's a sports freak. SportsFreak365 Review + discount.

To say the hubs is a sports freak, would be an understatement. There is no way, under any circumstance, that he would miss his beloved NY Jets play. And since we haven't lived in NY for 6 years, he pays who even knows what, to make sure all his games are broadcasted here. 

See, his parents grew up in Queens, automatically making him, along with his whole family, NY Jet and NY Met fans. He has huge prints in our basement. Any kind of clothing imaginable. License plate frames on both our cars. And of course, the kids and me have no choice but to be fans right along with him. 

When I told the hubs about SportsFreak365.com, he was more than excited to try it out. See? 

Haha! I begged for permission to use that picture! 

He used SportsFreak365.com to make a custom NFL calendar, complete with his favorite players. He also got to customize each date with text and photos. He put a picture of each person on their Birthday's and a different NY Jet player on each month. 

I always know I'm safe buying Met or Jet related gifts for him for his Birthday or Christmas. It makes gift buying easy; especially to add a little something extra to a gift.
