Movie Night. How about movie night with your father? You can give Dad a Fandango Gift Card for as little as $15. You might not be able to go to the theater right now, but the card can also be used to rent TV shows and movies from the Fandangonow.com website.

Coffee Subscription. If Dad is a coffee lover, he might appreciate a coffee subscription. You can purchase one from Blue Bottle Coffee, a global gourmet coffee supplier. There are different subscription levels, depending on how much you can afford.

A Tablet. If he does not already have one, buy your father a Fire HD 8 Tablet. He can download and read all his favorite books, watch movies, and even play games. You can find it on Amazon.com.

Masterclass Gift Card. This is a great gift for the dad who already has everything. Masterclasses have become popular, especially today. Maybe he wants to improve his culinary talents, learn to sing, or paint, or become a blogger. He can learn from the professionals on his own time and fulfill his dreams.

Scuff Slippers. Maybe your father is spending more time around the house these days. Buy him a pair of Scuff Slippers from Amazon. Every time your father puts on his comfortable suede slip-on slippers, with fur shearling insoles he will think of you.

If you cannot afford to purchase a gift for your father this year, there are many things you can do for free. Consider gifting your Dad a book of coupons that he can redeem for your services, such as cleaning up the yard, washing the car or scrubbing down the grill. Take Dad to the National Park, or one of your local parks and trails and spend the day hiking.
