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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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:
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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.
- 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.

They might also want a chance to win this contest, so you should tell them about this crazy, incredible contest.

The best dad in the world, is my children’s step father. A man whom swore he never wanted kids. A man who was set in his routine.
A strong, fearless, unique man. Who met my children at the ages of 6 months old and 2. From that day on did everything in his power to give them the world they deserve.
My son is his mini me. Both quiet gamers. Who like their space.
My daughter is his side kick. They both cook together, listen to music, steal my car and go on adventures.
His intelligence is astounding and listening to him talk to the kids about stuff is fascinating.
When we had something happen in our household he became more protective. He became more loving. He became more than i thought he could.
The security system would mean the world to him. So he can make sure we stay safe from here on out.
The best gift for any super dad to win would be the 43″ inch TV every dad would love to win a big TV.
My dad has the best sense of humor, is a remarkable cook, very tech savvy, great at puzzles, excellent handy man, very athletic for his age, very creative.
My dad would like to win the dash cam, because my mom and him are retired and drive to Mexico every year in the winter and should get a dash cam for safety and incase they are in an accident.
My Dad was a rock, when all around us was chaos, he was the calm. He was also the source of pride for me and source of answers to all of life’s questions. Too bad he was taken so soon. He would probably love the dash cam.
Strong, honest, excellent work ethic, would give you the shirt off his back. The Arlo Essential Cam Security Bundle would be great
My Inspiration My father taught me lots of lessons in life since I was young, but the one that stood above them all was the subject of education. He always told me that if I wanted to be successful I would have to go to college to make something out of myself. My family is not a wealthy family. Therefore, my dad saved every single penny he earned from work to buy anything that I needed. He always encouraged me, and still encourages me go to school, because he knows that the value of an education will determine a future for me. As a result, I admire him. My dad has a huge impact on how I am today. He has influenced my life by teaching me lessons and showing me the rights and wrongs.… He would live the Dashcam prize to keep his journey on the road safe.
My dad is a fantastic role model, so I can also go to him for good advice!
The beautiful Sony WF-1000XM4 In-Ear Noise Cancelling Truly Wireless Headphones are what I think would make an amazing fathers day gift.
My father is the kindest, most caring and honest person I’ve known. He would love the Arlo Essential Cam Security Bundle for his new (smaller) home.

His compassion knows no bounds, going above and beyond to help others, while his legendary generosity and limitless empathy make him the epitome of strength and resilience. As a dedicated protector, mentor, and friend, he fulfills these roles with unrivaled perfection, and his unwavering dedication to his family is unmatched.

My father would love the camera system to look after his garden
My father is my hero and guide in my life. He is the one I look upon whenever I find myself in trouble. My father has been my guiding force for all my major decisions in life. In fact, I have never regretted adhering to his advice as it has always worked for me. He is a hardworking and passionate person. My father has a love for movies. Whenever he gets time, he just loves to watch an old movie. In fact, at times we just fight as to who gets control of the television. But at heart, we love to tease each other and play as well.
My father does not like to sit idle. At times, on holidays if he finds me and my sister doing nothing and just idling our time, he gives us some task or the other. He is also much organised and keeps all his documents in a properly organised manner.
My Father – My Role Model:
My father is my role model for many reasons. First and foremost I admire his passion for work. That is why he is so respected in his office as well. He is always there to help his colleagues even if it is not his work. In fact, one can always see him spending weekends helping others out. Moreover, my father is a simple man. He does not like expensive things and lives an easy and peaceful life. Also, he never shouts on anyone of us. I wonder if he ever gets angry on anything as he takes everything so calmly and takes his time to decide upon things.
Granddad was kind, funny, sweet, silly, clever, dramatic, creative and amazing. The Napoleon Rogue 425 BBQ would help create fabulous feasts!
My dad is AMAZING! He’s so helpful to us, is such a good gardener, loves to cook delish food and is so kind to the grandkiddos. I bet he would love the instant camera the best. He hasn’t taken many photos since his ol’ school film camera many many years ago!
My dad was my hero. I thought he could do anything. my dad fought for the Ukrainian Underground Army. MY dad immigrated to Canada, from Ukraine. He worked hard all his life, he taught his 3 children the value of working hard, he also taught us to be proud of our root, he taught us to love, to care, to have integrity, humility, he taught me everything I needed to start my own life, I also raised 3 children and I know he would be proud of me for I taught my children the same values he taught me!!
My Dad is literally the best of the best, the quintessential father, the kindest, most patient and lovingest upbringing of children, the strongest of men, abundantly brilliant of mind, generous beyond this world in wisdom and patience. But not quite so in the driving department: my vote is for the dashcam for him so other drivers have the evidence they need!
My dad is no longer with us. However, he was a fantastic dad! His favorite would have been the Arlo Essential Cam Bundle.
MY HUBBY IS AN AMAZING FATHER TO OUR BLENDED FAMILY.STOOD BY ME THRU 3 CANCER BOUTS.ALWAYS THERE FOR EVERYONE.OMG THE GIFTS ARE HARD TO CHOOSE BOSE SPEAKER SET,ASUS COMPUTER OMG THE QUAD COPTER SURE HE WOULD LOVE THAT.
