Jack Oceano
You breathed a sigh of relief once you finally selected the perfect Father's Day present, and now here come the holidays creeping up on you. It is time to start your search all over. Not to worry, it's not always as difficult as it seems. The man who has everything doesn't really have everything; it just seems that way. Here are some top holiday gift ideas for Dads.

Does your Dad like to park himself on the couch or in his favorite chair on Sunday nights when The Sopranos are on HBO? If so, why not give him a gift he can enjoy over and over again, anytime he wants? The Sopranos are on DVD and Seasons 1 through 5 are available now. What's more, Season 6, Part 1 of The Sopranos will be released on DVD on November 7, 2006. This four-disc set will arrive just in time for the holidays and makes a great holiday gift for Dads. Part 2 of The Sopranos' Season 6 will begin on HBO in March 2007, leaving Dad enough time to catch up and refresh with Part 1. If Dad isn't a fan of The Sopranos, some other shows he might enjoy being introduced to on DVD include 24 starring Kiefer Sutherland, Lost starring Matthew Fox, and HBO's other hit, Rome. For more information on The Sopranos and other popular television shows on DVD, check out www.tv.com. The Sopranos' Season 6, Part 1 is available for Pre-Order at Amazon at the price of $64.98 with free Super Saver Shipping.

If your parents' remote control seems glued to your Dad's hand, the Philips Universal Remote Control might just make the perfect holiday gift. The Philips Universal Remote Control operates up to eight different entertainment systems. This remote control is both stylish and easy-to-use. The Philips Universal Remote Control supports more than 1,200 models of televisions, DVD players, DVRs, VCRs, TIVO, cable boxes, satellite dishes, and high-definition TVs. It features an innovative touch-screen display, which selectively illuminates only the controls necessary for the function in use. Priced at $129.95, the Philips Universal Remote Control is available from Sharper Image at www.sharperimage.com. Two and three year replacement guarantees are available at an extra charge.

If you really want to treat your Dad this holiday season, give him the Sharp 15" AQUOS Liquid Crystal HD Television. This awesome television combines the realism of hi-def tv and Sharp's state-of-the-art AQUOS technology. It is digital cable-ready and features crystal clear, detailed, high resolution images. The picture remains vivid under all lighting conditions and at all viewing angles. This space-saving television measures 15" x 15" x 7" and weighs a mere eleven pounds. Two and three year replacement guarantees are available at an extra charge. The Sharp 15" AQUOS Liquid Crystal HD Television is priced at $449.95 and is available from Sharper Image at www.sharperimage.com.

If you are on a tight budget, consider getting your Dad a gift certificate to one of his favorite stores. Gift certificates from Barnes & Noble and Best Buy make terrific holiday gifts. Or give him a gift certificate to his favorite restaurant. If he likes beer, check out the Beer of the Month Club at www.beerofthemonthclub.com. If your Dad has a favorite sports team in the local area, buy a pair of tickets to his favorite sporting event, and you and he can enjoy the experience together. One great holiday gift idea for Dad is a pair of tickets to see his favorite baseball team on Opening Day. Sure, it will take a few months to enjoy them, but if you want tickets to Opening Day, now is the time to get them. Happy holidays to you and your Dad!
