From Bankrate.com's Laura Shanahan, consider these five ideas for Father's Day gifts that won't break the bank:
• Tell Dad to take a hike — with you! Strap on those backpacks and take in the wonders of nature, whether it's the wilds of the woods or the greenery of your city park. Cap the day by hoisting a glass or a mug — your treat, please — at a cafe or coffee shop.
• Give Father an al fresco feast. What's more fun than a fancy meal in a four-star restaurant? Why, a picnic, of course. It doesn't have to be a big production and you don't have to travel far. Got a backyard? Spread out a tablecloth and dig in.
• Be charitable. Consider a contribution in his name to a humane organization or to any other charity of his choosing.
• A subscription to his hometown newspaper or to a publication dedicated to one of the passions in his life.
• Spend a dollar — yep, we're talking a lottery ticket, or two. And if he wins, it's all his!
