Last Minute Father's Day Gifts In Glen Ellyn

Whether you put off buying Dad's gift or need a few small special items to make his gift extra special, we offer some ideas.

Walking around downtown Glen Ellyn Wednesday this reporter found a number of gift ideas to consider from creating a special Father's Day mug at Bird On A Wire to fulfilling a sweet tooth at The Glen Ellyn Sweet Shoppe.

Glen Ellyn Sweet Shoppe, 550 Crescent Blvd.: The shop offers candy to bring back some nostalgia. Or, for the sport or cigar fan, buy some fun sweets, like chocolate cigars or golf balls, and dress up a gift.

Bird On A Wire Studio, 492 N. Main St.: A craft so easy even an adult can do it, and this reporter did. Grab a mug, a Superman sticker and make dad a gift he can use every morning! This coffee mug craft is $15, takes a few minutes and is ready the next day. Drop in and make one.

The Bike Shop, 495 N. Main St.: For the dad who bikes A LOT, buy him some Button Hole Chamois Cream, $19.95. This will help make those long rides less chaffing. Or, consider a computer to log his rides, $60.

American Balloon, 485 N. Main St.: What gift is complete without a balloon? Find Father's Day balloons starting at $1.60 for a regular balloon and going up to $5.15 for a Mylar balloon.

Marcel's Culinary Experience, 490 N. Main St.: If dad likes to grill or has a penchant for a good cocktail, Marcel's has gift boxes prepared to give! Or, pick out the perfect items for your dad from spices to grilling tools.

The Bookstore, 475 N. Main St.: Show dad you care with a book that says I Love You. Or maybe da is a lover of fiction or history, find top sellers perfect for his interest.
