Father’s Day is a mere days away, and I'm guessing most of you are stumped to find that perfect item that says equally, “I love you” and “look how thoughtful I am.” Here's a little inspiration and some of my favorite gift ideas for the Dad who has everything:

For the new baby-daddie: Petite Planet Cambio Diaper Bag ($125), The manliest and most rugged diaper bag EVER (very “Indiana Jones,” don'tcha think?), and it comes complete with a wipe-clean diaper changing pad, a thermal bottle holder and diaper storage. Get it online at oliebollin.com

For the traveling techie dad: iFlip iPod Video Player ($99), ideal for the dad who spends a lot of time on the road, away from his family and his movie collection. NOTE: I recommend giving this gift with an iTunes gift card, too, so he can rent some new release movies before his next trip. Get it at Linens 'n Things.

For the fashionably fly dad: Ray Ban Aviators ($126.99). Ray Ban is back and hipper than ever, baby! Make Dad feel like Tom Cruise in stylish retro aviators. Order by June 9th to receive by Father’s Day. Get them at Overstock.com (item not shown).

For the business casual dad: English Laundry Failsworth II Woven shirt ($82). Forget neckties this year, and give dad the shirt that needs no accessory. This stylish button-down with embroidery and rivet detailing will look equally great with jeans or slacks. Get it at the Downtown Seattle Macy's and macys.com.

For the biker dad: Ed Hardy Platinum Flocked Double Sleeve Tee ($187), is tailor made for tattoo-lovin’ papa who loves his Harley almost as much as his kids and isn’t afraid of a little graphic art. Get it at Nordstrom, The Rail department.

For the venture-capitalist-with-a-heart-of-gold dad: KIVA gift certificate ($25-$5,000). Give Dad funds to invest in entrepreneurial efforts in the developing world. He can use his gift certificate to lend money to small business owners in need, and help lift entire communities out of poverty. Perfect for ANY dad who wants to help make the world a better place! Get it online at KIVA.com
