And people think that smellies and socks aren't the most original Father's Day gifts.
We beg to differ - check in with our pick of the bunch.
We've found fabulous fragrances and sensational socks for those last minute purchases that will thrill him!
Bentley Momentum
Your Dad is an achiever, and a trendsetter, right? Then Bentley Momentum is just right for him – the type of guy who is still style-conscious and driven.
It arrives packaged in a clean, fuss-free bottle, with only Bentley's famous logo adorning the front, because really, what more could you need?
Its wonderful blend of freshness – courtesy of bergamot and clary sage - and warmth, from jasmine petals, aquatic accord and sandalwood.
Of course there are other notes contributing to the fragrance, and when they work together, just like its marvellous motoring namesake, the result is unbeatable.
And unlike some EDT's which really don't stay put for the whole journey, a splash of this fragrance lasts a long time – absolutely, it keeps the Momentum...

Heat Holders Socks
Socks. They are the no-brainer Father's Day present, or rather the no-thought present.
Seriously, Dad spends all year being a shoulder to cry on, a bank, a handyman and an unpaid taxi service, and then on June 18, he gets a thank you...socks. Crikey. Not much of a return, is it?
But wait. At last there is a sock that will bring a genuine smile to his face, that will make he feel all Super Dad, and they'll keep his tootsies nice and snuggle too.
Introducing slipper socks with a twist; featuring some of his most famous characters – choose from Batman, Superman, Star Wars, Storm Trooper and Hulk, which pack a decidedly warm punch!
They are practical (with non-slip grips) and boast a warming 2.34 TOG rating. And they look cool!
Don't give him shoddy socks, give him sensational socks – and Heat Holders are where it's at.

Opportune Sport
Give Dad something that will energise and invigorate this Father's Day - Opportune Sport is just the job... and it'll make him feel all fresh and fabulous as he splashes it on in a manly way!
A blast of fresh citrus notes catch the senses and mingle with invigorating hints of spicy black pepper and hawthorn that seem to offer the essence of energy.
Rosemary, amber and cedar wood work together to provide a modern masculinity.
Those behind Oppoprtune Sport are calling this 'A composition of freshness and energy that will leave you with a sense of exhilarating ease,' and it's got a thumbs up from our tester - he tried it and disappeared with the bottle!

Davidoff Cool Water
Make a splash with a splash of Davidoff.
This is the quintessential ocean fragrance, for men who forge their masculinity on the waves of action. Davidoff Cool Water invites its user to embrace the power of the ocean.
It packs a real aromatic wow too, with peppermint and lavender providing an intense freshness with coriander, jasmine, oak moss and geraniuum at its heart and amber and musk at the base.
Dad won't just smell good with this. He'll feel good too.
