3. For 'Super Mario' Dad: Vintage Video Games

Bored of beating the daylights out of dad at Grand Auto Theft? Dad will never get the hang of new video games. Maybe it's time to try humiliating him at the same lame video games he played when he was your age. Game Boy Advance now offers a Classic NES nostalgia series with Donkey Kong, Super Mario Brothers and, of course, Pac-Man, the pellet-eating sensation that defined the Reagan era (at video arcades, anyway).

For only $19.99, you can take Pop down memory lane and leave him dead in the gutter as low-score road kill.

4. For 'Rat Pack Metrosexual' Dad: The Frank Sinatra Coin Purse

A little-known fact about Frank Sinatra: Ol' Blue Eyes hated the sound of loose change rattling around in his pockets, especially when he was in the studio. That's why he began carrying coin purses, those little rubber pouches that attach to your key chain. In the 1960s, they were everywhere, and now, Hallifson.com is mounting a coin purse renaissance, offering customized coin purse keepsakes.

The Sinatra family ordered a batch bearing a picture of the Chairman of the Board. And if you question the masculinity of a coin purse, former Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss says coin purses actually make good condom holders, and ordered suitably decorated coin purses for her boutique.

Now, for $187.50, you can have 250 customized coin pouches bearing your dad's image, so all his "Rat Pack" pals can say they got a purse for Father's Day.
