From virtual experiences that’ll teach him something new to tech accessories that’ll streamline his digital hobbies, these are the best last-minute gifts that’ll still arrive on time for June 21.Last-minute Father’s Day giftsHow to choose the best last-minute Father’s Day giftsWhen shopping for gifts in a time crunch, it’s easy to feel like your options are limited. Oftentimes, you might end up buying something that the recipient can easily tell was bought last-minute without their interests being considered. But the truth is, you can find a fitting gift for anyone when you keep their likes and dislikes in mind, even if it means having to take advantage of one-day Amazon Prime shipping. If Dad is always making repairs around the house, for instance, a good multitool could very well simplify his life. Does he have a lot of summer travel plans lined up? This is the perfect opportunity to get him something that’ll make packing for trips way easier, like an electronics organizer case.Alternatively to the tangible gift route, you can send food to your giftee. After all, whose dad doesn’t enjoy a basket of treats? The best part is, you can do this through a subscription, like Trade Coffee or Wildgrain, or choose something from Goldbelly and email the gift to him so he can redeem it whenever he wants. The digital gift will arrive almost instantly and still feel thoughtful.Virtual experiences also make great digital gifts. Our editors have tried multiple online classes through Uncommon Goods, for example, and recommend them for pretty much every gifting occasion. Even a simple subscription he can use through an app, like AllTrails’ subscription, is bound to make one of his favorite pastimes even more fun. So long as you choose something the father figure in your life will actually want to use, your last-minute gift is practically guaranteed to impress him.Why trust CNN UnderscoredCNN Underscored editors carefully curate each gift guide to include a selection of products tailored to the person you’re shopping for.

She also included new editor-tested products and services that will arrive in time for the occasion.
