Father's Day is in one week!

Father's Day is next weekend and I've round up a few ideas for your dear old dad.
Food:
Take him for BBQ! My dad has a thing for ribs and I'm pretty sure all dad's have that thing in common. Take him into the city and get him a rack! Opentable.com is the best way to make a reservation and you can earn money if you use it for all your reservation needs.
- Soul Fire BBQ at 182 Harvard Ave. in Allston claims to be Boston's Best BBQ. I've heard some amazing things about this place and the ribs are "fall-off-the-bone tender".
- Blue-Ribbon BBQ at 1375 Washington Street in West Newton has been on my need-to-go list for years. They were Best of Boston BBQ in 2006, 2007, 2008.
- Smoken' Joe's BBQ at 351 Washington Street in Brighton are known for their sauces. Try the Memphis BBQ and the Kansas City Sticky Sauce.
Golf:
Now, I don't play golf, but here are a few top rated courses in MA for you to take your dad. Also, if you sign up for Groupon.com, they sometimes have deals for half priced 18 holes.
Or you could get him some adorable golf cookies!

Red Sox / Celtics / Patriots / Bruins:
I think these t-shirts are pretty awesome.

Who doesn't love a good throw back Celtics jersey? I'm sure your dad had something like this when he was growing up!
With all the Red Sox shirts out there, I think your dad would appreciate the simplicity of this one. It's classic and cool.

Or what about a toaster that "burns" the Patriots logo right into it? He'll be rooting for them every morning!

Here's a cool Bruins Players Mosaic that uses 1,000 players faces to make the Bruins logo. Frame it up for your Bruins lovin dad and he'll love it!
You can also go to one of my favorite gift giving websites.

This site lets you look up gifts by personality, occasion, and recipient. It has a lot of good ideas for any gift for any time.
You can always get a gift certificate for your dad for a fancy night out driven by Accent Limousine Service. Treat him to a night where he doesn't have to worry about driving, parking or having an extra martini!
There's only one week left! Let me know if you need another recommendation on restaurant gift certificates or something particular you're looking for. I can find it all!
Happy shopping!
