Organizing Gifts for Dads and Grads

June is all about dads and grads. Celebrate a special someone this month with a gift that never languishes in the box or goes out of style: the gift of organization.

Professional Organizer: Consider gifting your loved one with sessions with a professional organizer. If dad would love a spic and span garage but doesn't have the time or inclination to do it solo, consider outsourcing the job to a pro. Professionals can often work faster and more effectively than home-owners. Plus they are savvy about resources and tools needed to best tackle a job. College grads could also benefit from tips on handling their new adult lifestyle: job hunting, bills, and setting up and maintaining a first-home all require effective organization systems. To find a professional organizer in your area, visit the National Association of Professional Organizers.

There's an App for That: Organizing is easier than ever with all the digital devices and apps on the market. Consider splurging on a lap top or iPad for your loved one. CNET has a great 2012 gift guide of must-have tech tools here. You can even pre-load many with useful organizing apps which you can find here and here. Or gift them with iTunes cards so they can buy apps for devices they already own.

Old School, Still Cool: Sometimes the old way, is the best way. For jotting down notes, lists and capturing brainstorms, gift your grad or dad with one of these stylish moleskin notebooks accompanied by one of these classic pens. We also think nothing says "I love you, and I know you will love being organized" like the gift of an amazing, high-end label maker.
