Father’s Day is on Sunday 5 September – that’s less than two weeks away!

But don’t panic. Check out our gift finder, and treat your dad to something really cool. Options range from GPS and weather devices to clothing, sports gear and vinyl.

Also, here are a few random things you may not have known (courtesy of the Interweb):

1. Father's Day originated 100 years ago, in Washington. The credit goes to a 16-year-old girl, who was raised single-handedly by her father and campaigned for a day of recognition for dads.

2. Australia, Hungary, Canada and India also celebrate International Men's Day in November.

3. Father's Day is a public holiday in many countries, including the US, but not in NZ :(
