Budget (But Meaningful) Father's Day Gifts

Not every Dad wants a grill or power tool for Father's Day especially when you live in New York. Tech expert Tara Clavell-Vera will present some great gift ideas that won't break the bank or take up a lot of space.

1. The Simmons Jewlery Co. Argyle and Steel Collections.
New from Russell Simmons, the Argyle collection is inspired by his Argyle Culture clothing line. Today I'm presenting two dogtags and a bracelet that are perfect for dad. Celebrity dad, Boris Kodjoe, is a fan! Both collections are available at Kays and Kays.com.

2. iHome (iPod, iPhone and mp3 accessories, i.e. docks, portable radios, etc), $25+, and iHome's all new computer accessories line (i.e. webcam, laptop cooling station, wireless mice and keyboards, etc.) $20+

3. Block headwear - provides a simple and relaxed range of quality headwear for men--worn by a ton of celebs, $30+

4. Banana Republic toiletry bag - Fill this bag ($65) with inexpensive goodies. Visit your local Rite Aid or Target and pick up DentaBurst (breath-freshening product) and Shine to Go (shoe shine wipes in a pouch) for just $.99 each! Toss in "Cool Sox" by Puma, which are small enough to roll up and throw in a bag-and will keep your dad's/hubby's feet refreshed when he goes out for his morning jog while on that business trip.

5. Carerra Sunglasses - These '80s Miami Vice favorites are back! Hot celebrity dad Brad Pitt was wearing them all over Cannes. $120-$195 available at Solstice Sunglass Boutique

6. Chereskin Watches - Believe it or not, these watches look like a million bucks but only cost between $20-$30! Move over Rolex and Omega.
