With Father’s Day around the corner, you might be scrambling to find something your dad likes at the last minute.
We’re no strangers to procrastination, and especially considering how distracting the “return to normalcy” can be, it’s understandable if you didn’t start looking for that perfect present weeks ago. Fortunately, some retailers like Amazon promise speedy shipping that’ll get your dad his gift in a jiff.
But in the event that your purchase doesn’t arrive in time, you can always give your dad a card and an order confirmation receipt that says “thinking of you” in your own words, with a little “I’m sorry” note at the bottom to spare yourself the lecture.
To save you some time, we’ve handpicked a generous selection of recommendations you can rest assured your dad will enjoy as much as ours do.

What’s an espresso machine without espresso? Illy makes our favorite ground coffee, and its Classico espresso blend is one of the finer blends you’ll see in the wild. Secured in Illy’s signature pressurized can, it’s also one of the freshest.
