He's the World's Greatest Dad. (It's even plastered on his favorite mug!) So, what do you get the guy who drives the kids to soccer practice, checks under the bed for monsters, and gives the best bear hugs? Hit a Father's Day homerun with fabulous gifts like these. Some are hand-picked by GalTime, others by Celebrity Stylist Sarah Shirley.

My husband is a huge movie buff. One of the most memorable presents that he ever received was a basket filled with his favorite movies, old school candy, and buttery popcorn. Like the idea?
