Poof, our moment has passed… now onto him. We have to admit we’re rarely this ahead of the game but thought you might appreciate some great gift ideas for Dad to act on now so you can be prepared…with time to spare. And they’re all under $60, too. (FYI, Father’s Day is June 20th)…

For the golfer and/or comedian Dad…

Cliche as golf-related gifts may be, this one puts a fresh spin on the game (literally). For the prankster- type, or for a self-effacing way to mock his own high handicap, this set of 4 trick golf balls include “The Unputtable” (the ball jumps, balks, skids when hit) and “The Jetstreamer” (ejects a 15-foot spiraling ribbon on impact). $20

Let him improve his palate and expand his wine knowledge in an entertaining way with WineSmarts. Colorful Q&A Cards feature true-false and multiple choice questions on grapes, regions, vocabulary, and a variety of other wine facts (He can brush-up alone or make it a competitive sport). Also included is a 12-page Wine Tips Guide and a score sheet. $24.95

For the stylishly sentimental Dad…

Sterling silver cufflinks that artfully render two adults and two children with arms encircled, symbolizing family love and unity. (And who said men could never wear their emotions on their sleeves)? $58

… the ultimate BBQ tool belt. If the grill is his domain, this will surely ensure he is master of it, by having all his grilling tools right with him. Features a hook for tongs, spatula holder, pockets for seasonings and sauces (and the requisite beer holder, of course). Tools not included (but you can monogram it). $35-$40

A sleek pewter paperweight engraved with this thought: What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail? A little motivational food-for-thought can go a long way (and this struck us as far classier and more compelling than those posters with a stock photo of a mountain). Actually, we’d like this on our own desks. $28

Forget traditional colognes. Give him the aroma of a great smoke without the lung damage with Demeter’s This Is Not a Pipe scent. A gardener at heart living in the big city? He can still smell like Grass or Dirt (both top- sellers, believe it or not). Other scents to consider: Chocolate Chip Cookie, Gin and Tonic or New Zealand (specially formulated at the request of the Prime Minister of New Zealand for the premier of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers). 1 oz. bottles, $17.50 each
