Father's Day Gifts Under $20

The trick to giving a good Father’s Day gift isn’t the price tag. It’s never a good idea to identify value with monetary value, especially when it comes to celebrating fatherhood—and dare I say it—manliness. A good gift is simply one that brings joy. Whether it’s a gift for the moment or a gift intended as a lifetime memento, the golden rule is and has always been to make it a meaningful gesture.

If you’re cash-strapped, need not worry. There are plenty of options online for the financially doddering son or daughter. And since the Day of the Dad is a mere week away, it’s probably a good idea to get a move on it. Here are some of the best Father’s Day gifts under $20 for dads who have some personality.

Father's Day Gifts Under $20

Fallen Numbers Retirement Wall Clock - $22.50

For the dad who has lapsed happily into contented retirement, this “timeless” wall clock will lighten up the look of an office or any man-lair. It is indeed below $20 when you factor in the Café Press coupon for 25% off your order. This 10-inch analog clock should offer a cogent reminder that retirement is meant for taking it easy.

Your dad likes to be reminded of your love, and it’s easy to remind him with imprinted photos on his toothbrush and soap dispenser.

Concluding this gift guide I’d like to say thanks to all the fathers out there who have made life all the more wonderful to live. Don’t take it personally that we spent less than $20 on your special day. All that matters is love, and perhaps a signed card. And maybe a little personalization.

Keep calm and father on.
