Does your dad prefer an ice cold brew to a fancy, expensive gift hands down? If so, give him the gift of green booze with a refreshing organic beer like <a href="http://www.peakbrewing.com/">Peak Organic </a>or if he's more of an oenophile, a tasty wine from a sustainably-managed vineyard like <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/wolffer/w%C3%B6lffer-wines-c13.aspx">Wolffer Estate</a>.

If your dad's always snapping photos, make him a handy <a href="http://www.ecouterre.com/recycle-a-necktie-into-a-camera-strap-diy-tutorial/">homemade strap for his camera out of an old tie</a>. It's an easy project to do last minute that will seem like you planned it for weeks in advance.

Here's a last minute gift that fathers who value practicality and frugality will truly appreciate - <a href="http://inhabitat.com/how-to-switch-your-bulbs-to-leds-to-get-ready-for-the-incandescent-bulb-phase-out/">swap out all of your dad's energy-guzzling incandescent bulbs with LEDs</a>. It's a task that he might have been thinking of doing himself but may not have known where to start and he'll think of what a smart kid he has every time he sees his (lower) monthly energy bill.

Get your nature-loving dad a gift that he'll be able to enjoy all year - a subscription to <a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazines/all-lp/carousel/?source=hp_subs_carousel">National Geographic</a>. He'll get a new issue every month as well as complete online access to every issue published from 1888-2012.

Is the way to your dad's heart through his stomach? If so, cooking a nice meal for him is the sincerest way to show him how much you care, and it's also something that you can totally do last minute while still looking like you put a lot of effort into it.

Honor the man who gave you roots, shelter and a shoulder to lean on by <a href="http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/how-to/intro/0,,605171,00.html">planting a tree</a> in his name! It will make the world a better place (just like your father does) and it will last way longer than another necktie.
