Thanks for asking!<br /><br />While it may be too late to order online, I love this eco-friendly Michigan company - particularly their <a href="http://www.shop.thirdcoastkites.com/Kitty-Hawk-Flyer-H106040.htm" rel="nofollow">Kitty Hawk Flyer</a> for about $40 bucks<br /><br />Also, if he likes to grow things - or if the family wants to get it started for/with him - this <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/science/76c9/" rel="nofollow">carniverous plant terrarium</a><br /> from ThinkGeek.com for $25 is killer. Sadly they're out of stock right now, but they're expecting more soon; so, since it's a delayed gratification gift anyhow, seems like it'd be a fair one for giving the "picture" with the 3-D version to come.<br /><br />In this little girl's opinion: I think that any Father's Day gift that ends up with an interactive component that families can share is the best sort.<br /><br />Best wishes for a happy occasion! - AnonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-62247744373955670732010-06-16T22:30:48.836-04:002010-06-16T22:30:48.836-04:00Don't buy him clothes or anything personal.
