While a locket pendant may be a traditionally female accessory, there is no reason why men should have to forgo the locket concept altogether. After all, proud fathers like to keep their kids as close to their heart as their mothers do. But since a traditional locket isn't entirely appropriate, why not opt for a pair of Square Locket Cuff Links as a Father's Day Gift? The cuff links are made of sterling silver and measure 5/8x5/8-in. Each opens to accommodate two photos and it might be worth investing in some good quality photo-editing software to get your digital family photos down to the appropriate size. Engraving of a single initial into the front of each piece is available at no extra charge. Price: $130.

One of the traditions of Father's Day, for many families, is having a barbecue. Though at first it may seem odd to make Dad cook his own dinner, it is generally accepted that most of these guys enjoy doing it. So, to facilitate one of the best grilling days of the year, surprise your dad with a Kobe Steak Sampler for Father's Day. For $199, you get 2 each of the Kobe filet mignons (6 oz), Kobe NY strip steaks (10 oz) and Kobe top sirloins (8 oz). Due to the way the meat is raised, each piece should be some of the most tender beef you or Dad has had the opportunity to taste - let alone to cook. If you are having guests, you might want to think about the King of the Grill Sampler ($109.99), which includes 6 Kobe top sirloins and 8 Kobe burgers.

Of course, this will all go over much better if Dad already has a premium grill or outdoor kitchen to do the actual cooking.

Father's Day started in 1910 and though there is no record of when the tradition of giving Dad a tie began, they are the quintessential father's day gift. Unfortunately, the more popular ties were as a gift, the less attractive they seemed to get and before long, father's seemed to dread getting "another ugly tie" - as though they were often besieged with such ties. But ties are useful and, thanks to more than a few good designers, there are a lot of fantastic looking ties. Here are some of our favorite picks for Dad this Father's Day.

If Dad likes a bit of a vintage edge to his clothing, or simply doesn't seem to have completely gotten over his fondness for his younger, wilder days, Ben Sherman's warm, vintage brown silk tie with a geometric, floral pattern is one he'll love $59.50.
