Though it's from a "Father's Day" site, these sound like quick fun to try:
* Tie: Confuse dad by carefully rolling the tie in tissue paper to keep it from wrinkling. Then slide it into a cardboard tube (from a roll of paper towels). Wrap the tube in red paper and use a piece of string and some shredded tin foil to make a sparkly fuse to tuck into one end of the tube. Your creation will show Dad you think he's "dynamite!"
* Wallet or money clip: Make the wrapping part of the gift. Tape together about eight one-dollar bills to make the "paper" you will use to wrap the small box. Once dad opens the gift, he can put the wallet to immediate use by filling the wallet or money clip with the bills in which it was wrapped.
* Briefcase: Start by putting the briefcase into a larger box than
necessary so the shape is hidden. Then have some fun with the wrapping by considering the recipient and how the briefcase will be used. For example, wrap the gift in a local street map for a sales rep, or the want ads for a recent college graduate.
* Gift certificate: Make the gift wrap match the gift certificate. For example, a gift certificate to a bookstore could be placed inside an old paperback. A music store gift certificate could be inserted into a CD case. If dad is an amateur chef and wants kitchen tools or appliances, roll and tie your gift certificate with ribbon around the handle of a wooden spoon. The recipient will wonder why you're giving them the item you did ... until they see the "real" gift!

men, especially dads, don't keep junk around for very long. i'd normally say make a nice card for him but it'll probably wind up in the garage. do something for him instead. a man thing. like cut the grass, or sweep the driveway, clean the garage (but don't touch his tools). now heres something every dad loves but rarely gets.... as soon as he walks in the door have the house clean, fix him a nice cold drink, prop up his feet, put on his slippers, give him the newspaper or his favorite magazine, put on his favorite music, hand him the remote, light his pipe or cigar, tell him you love him, kiss him on the cheek, massage his shoulders a bit, then leave the room. by all means, hold all his phone calls. better yet, unplug the phone. if the phone rings he'll tense up again. let your mom handle the meal and whatever. he'll remember this for years to come.....

How about a "coupon book" filled with things that he may ask you to do and somethings he never asks you to do.... like cut the grass, wash the car, take out garbage, watch a movie with him, take him out to eat, spend some time together, ect...get the idea? hopes this helps.

Is he a football or baseball fan?
You could make him a quick No Sew Fleece Blanket with footballs or something he likes on it.

A memory box. Find a box and decorate if you like, go around the house and pick up stuff that has memories of him in it, and put it in the box. I made that for MOM and she LOVES it!
