Excitations Offers the Perfect Last Minute Father's Day Gifts to Match Dad's Personality

Sterling, VA (PRWEB) June 14, 2007 -- Though Father's Day is rapidly approaching, gift-givers still have plenty of time to conveniently, efficiently and affordably shop online for a unique and special gift for dads of all ages and for any personality, according to Excitations, the nation's premier experiential gift-giving company.

Surveys not only indicate that dads are less than enthused with their recent Father's Day gifts, but many have trouble even recalling what they received. A potential explanation is that sons, daughters and spouses often wait until the last minute to purchase a Father's Day gift. In most cases the shopper knows the recipient well enough to make a good choice, but ends up choosing a gift that is easiest to buy on short notice, rather than the gift that best matches the recipient's personality and tastes.

Experiential gifting - which involves giving a gift of experience such as skydiving, kayaking or sailing rather than a material item such as neckties or power tools - unlocks new opportunities to gift dad a memorable experience perfectly tailored to his interests - and your budget. With just a few days left until June 17th, Excitations.com has assembled a list of experience gift suggestions for every type of dad so that he'll not only be pleased with his Father's Day gift, but none the wiser that you waited until the last minute to buy it.

Personality Type:
The Need for Speed

The Perfect Gift:
If dad likes to hit the open road and feel his hair - assuming he still has any - whipping in the wind, he'll jump at the chance to leave the SUV in the driveway and cruise around town in a Harley-Davidson motorcycle or convertible Ferrari 360 Spider.

Personality Type:
Workaholic

The Perfect Gift:
If you can't pull work away from dad, it's time to pull dad away from work with a helicopter lighthouse tour or romantic spa revival that will make sure the office is the last thing on dad's mind.

Personality Type:
Family Man

The Perfect Gift:
If dad derives more enjoyment from being with the kids on Father's day, look no further for family-friendly Father's Day options than whitewater rafting, a family guided bike tour or a big chef, little chef cooking experience.

Personality Type:
Hopeless Romantic

The Perfect Gift:
If dad isn't one let a chance for romance pass by, he'll definitely be on board for a romantic sunset cruise for two or scenic hot air balloon ride that will take his breath away.

Personality Type:
Pimp my Present

The Perfect Gift:
If dad spends the entire year treating everyone in his life like VIPs, he'll surely appreciate having the favor returned for just one day with an ultimate Formula Race Car driving experience or a night out with family and friends at the chef's table at a top local restaurant.

Personality Type:
At One with Nature

The Perfect Gift:
If dad prefers being part of the action rather than loafing on the couch watching it on TV, a bike and kayak tour or intro to solo Hang Gliding will surely get his adrenaline pumping.

Personality Type:
A Day of Gourmet

The Perfect Gift:
If dad fancies himself a whiz in the kitchen or out at the grill, he will appreciate the opportunity to hone his skills with a famous chef during a Mexican cooking class, playing the part of sous chef for the day or even hosting an in-home wine tasting party.

In addition to offering experience gifts in and around Washington, DC, Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago and San Francisco, Excitations recently announced its experiences are available in two new markets - Boston and Los Angeles.
