It's that time of year again. The days are warmer and it's time to fire up the grill. Time for yard work, spring training, and yes, Father's Day. The one holiday a year that is completely dedicated to the hardest person to buy for, Dad. He doesn't know what he wants; he'll like anything you get; and he doesn't need anything. Yeah, right.

Here are five fantastic Father's Day gift ideas, sure to make him say "Wow", "Cool", or "Neat".

1. Personalized Share of Stock. This is one of the more unique gift ideas I've come across in years. Ever say to him "You've bought so much Starbucks, you should own stock"? Well, now is the year for that to come true. Get him his own personalized share of stock from his favorite company. Choose Harley Davidson, Apple Computer, Callaway Golf, and more. Have it framed and add a personalized message. My favorite? Get him a share of Budweiser stock with the message: "You drank your share; now you own a share".

2. Skill Stop Slot Machine. The gaming industry has exploded in recent years. You don't need anymore evidence than the numerous poker shows on TV. The next big things are skill stop slot machines. Also called Pachislo, these are authentic slot machines used in international casinos. He can have one at home, for all of the thrill of a trip to Vegas. There are infinite titles available and can be as inexpensive as a couple hundred dollars. These machines take tokens and the wheels are stopped by three buttons on the front, hence "skill stop". An awesome addition to his game room or den, this gift will make you his hero.

3. The Drink Tender. Ok, so he's the master of the grill. His friends are always over eating his world famous chicken and ribs. The Drink Tender will spruce up even the best get-togethers. This bad boy holds 80 oz. of his favorite brew so everyone can be their own bartender. Within the unit is a removable center column that functions as an ice chamber, sure to keep everything cold on even hot days. Not that it'll stay full that long.

4. Personalized Humidor. Over the years, he's gotten the engraved key chain, the personalized pocket watch, and the etched beer mug. All were big hits. But nothing will be a bigger hit than a personalized cigar humidor. Even if he only partakes in an occasional smoke, he will enjoy seeing his name proudly displayed on a well-crafted box. Many designs are available, from golf and racing, to an Irish pub and tiki bar.

5. Titanium Ring. One of the newer things in jewelry is titanium. This metal, often used in aerospace, is light, strong, and durable. Also he won't get the dreaded green ring around the finger! Titanium rings are surprisingly affordable, and have huge wow factor. "Hey Bob, where'd you get that ring?" "Kids got it for me for Father's Day. It's TITANIUM". Cool.

Finding and buying men's gifts can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be. Above everything else, be creative, and appeal to his fun side. All men like to get a gift they can play with or show off.
