What are you giving your dad for Father’s Day? You spoiled your mom so it’s only fitting to get dad something. You could give him something from Best Buy. I’m not saying you must buy something. You could pen a poem of appreciation and recite it over a loudspeaker for the whole neighbourhood to hear. He’d like that. But if you are planning on a quieter gift, one that you purchase from Best Buy, then this contest might inspire you with a few gift ideas.

Will this be the best Father’s Day ever?

I have days where I can’t help but think in superlatives. I wake up at the best time, eat the most amazing granola, drink what turns out to be outstanding coffee … and my day just gets better from there. Imagine if that was the kind of day your father had on Father’s Day. You can make that happen. But you have to start preparing immediately. Especially if you want it to be an over the top Father’s Day he’ll never forget.

A more than perfect day is within reach. And I’m going to suggest three over-the-top ways to make your dad surprised and amazed.

  1. Remind him of his first car: For most of us, our first car holds a special place in our hearts. For this surprise to work, you need to find out what your dad’s first car was. Once you get that simple piece of information the rest is easy: get some cardboard and recreate that vehicle in cardboard, as lifelike and realistically as your artistic skills allow. Your dad will be touched by the effort, the sentiment, and he’ll applaud your creative use of cardboard (just like many people have done for a different contest we ran on the blog).
  2. Get him in the gaming spirit: June is not only the month of Father’s Day, it’s also gaming month. Best Buy goes over the top during gaming month with the biggest contests, amazing deals, and fantastic announcements. Enter those contests and you might win a great gaming prize. However, if your dad is really into gaming then I suggest you create a gaming experience your dad will never forget: a neighbourhood tournament. Organize each home in your neighbourhood to plan one game. On Father’s Day, go from house to house playing Mario Kart in one home, Scrabble in another; charades in the third, etc. Win or lose, he’ll never forget the effort you made and fun you all had together.
  3. Gourmet day with dad: Is your dad a foodie? This is the day to make his food dreams come true. Make a list and prepare as many of his favourite dishes ahead of time as is possible. Scour the internet for recipes and perhaps even practice a few at a friend’s house to ensure you can pull off this once in a lifetime culinary experience. Is your dad into pancakes? Find the most extravagant pancake recipe like caviar and cream cheese or gold leaf and berries. Then repeat this process for lunch. If you are really adventurous, you could pretend that dinner too will be home-cooked, then surprise him with a visit from a personal chef (you can find one in most major cities these days)!

Over the top gifts also come from Best Buy

I know I said you don’t have to get dad a gift, and two of my suggestions above can be done with very little monetary expense. But if you do want to get him a gift, I prepared this amazing prize package full of gifts he’ll love. In keeping with the theme of this article, I’m going to explain each item in the prize pack as elaborately, and “over-the-top” as I can in a single sentence. Here are the five items pictured at the top of this article:

  1. Arlo Essential Cam Security Bundle: Incredible wireless security that he can put anywhere then view thieves (or more often raccoons and stray cats) right on his phone in vivid colour! (see the review on the blog)
  2. Nextbase 522GW dash cam: Yes your dad is the best driver, but this will protect him from all those other drivers on the road … capture their un-indicated lane changes like never before. (see the review on the blog)
  3. Instax Mini 12 instant camera: this pink wonder cam captures family memories and prints them out … yes, he’ll get hard copy photos of his children that he can string from one end of his office to the other. (see the review on the blog)
  4. Jlab GO Air earbuds: these are likely as good or better than the best earbuds he has worn. Seriously, they are low cost AND amazingly high quality (just like his children!). (see the review on the blog)
  5. Sizzle BBQ plasma lighter: this is my personal favourite. The coolest dads on the block have the coolest lighters on the market. It’s electric so no gas to burn; it’s electric so charge it up and it’s ready; it’s electri-fyingly cool (worth repeating if you ask me). (see the review on the blog)

The winner doesn’t have to choose which part of this prize they like best because for the best Father’s Day contest we are awarding the winner all five prizes. Imagine your dad’s face when he opens that prize!

How to enter

This contest is easy to enter and you can enter in two different ways.

  1. In a comment below, using as many superlatives as you can think of, tell us how great your dad is, and tell us which part of this prize pack would be his favourite.

  7. The most incredible, remarkable, happy, helpful and kind father is my father. He is also the most dedicated Toronto Sports fan of all time. Him and I were the the gardens when the Leafs last won the Stanley Cup. He never misses a game but he is very frugal and he watches his sports on a television that is almost 15 years old and it weighs a ton. I hear “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” daily. He would be over the moon for the Samsung 43″ 4K UHD HDR LED Tizen Smart TV (UN43TU690TFXZC) – 2022 television

  8. My father is the most remarkable, understanding, forgiving, patent (he taught me to drive and use power tools), hilarious, fair, carling , dependable and trustworthy man I know. They broke the mold when they made him and I was fortunate enough to get his as my dad. He is forever talking about safety and being safe and that we should all be more cautious. He is that dad with 3 locks and 2 peepholes on the front and back doors. We were taught to never answer the door if we could not identify them. The Arlo Essential Cam Security Bundle would be perfect for him to guard and protect his castle. It would give him peace of mind when the kids are visiting and when my mom is home alone.

  9. The Ooni Koda 12″ Pizza Oven would be hottest and most sizzling present any dad could get on Father’s Day. With it, he could make the most radical.. the most tastiest.. and the most bodacious pizza pies for everyone to eat in celebration :). COWABUNGA

  27. The most incredible gift I could give someone on fathers Day, either my dad or husband would be the Sonos Roam waterproof Bluetooth wireless speaker. The main reason why I believe this would be present enjoyed by both would be because we are a family that loves being outdoors. We love being out on the patio relaxing or outside enjoying some camping. I believe that the Sonos Roam waterproof Bluetooth wireless speaker would be perfect for those days. It would allow them to bring their speaking with them wherever they go.

  28. My Dad was an amazing Dad growing up. He lived in the forest and would take me to see wild animals in their natural habitats, he would build me insane forts, we would howl at the full moon out on frozen lakes in the winter. He is my bestie and now he records unique animals for his youtube channel for the world to see. It has a small but dedicated following and I know it brings him so much joy to do so. He is in need of a new camera so the Arlo Essential Cam Bundle would be the ultimate gift for him! ♡
