Pandemic be damned, brands are coming up with unique ways to still make dads feel special this Father's Day.

Buffalo Wild Wings created a limited run of special-edition ties, designed specifically for the ultimate wing-eating dads out there. The Moist Tie-lette is essentially a Wet-Nap meets a necktie and is available at MoistTielette.com. A tongue-in-cheek video created by The Martin Agency explains the making of the promotional item.

The tie-lettes are sewn from absorbent towelettes and designed to mimic a standard necktie. They are paired with a chicken wing bone tie clip and are packaged like an oversized version of the typical moist towelettes you’d find at any BWW sports bar. They can be purchased for $25, which includes a $25 Buffalo Wild Wings gift card.

Additionally, Buffalo Wild Wings is offering a Father’s Day Bundle on June 21 only, which includes 20 traditional wings, 20 boneless wings and a basket of fries for $39.99. The bundle is available for takeout, delivery and dine-in.

For the really special dad, Kelley Blue Book is offering up suggestions for the 10 Coolest Father's Day Cars Under $30,000. Included on the list is a variety of models including the Ford Mustang, Jeep Wrangler, Honda Civic Si, Hyundai Veloster N and Toyota Tacoma pickup.

"The variety of models on this list will accommodate the classic, more sensible father to the rugged, adventurous type," said Matt DeLorenzo, senior managing editor for Kelley Blue Book, in a release. "On top of great styling and amenities, these new-car models are available at a compelling price points."

Whether your dad is near or far, Dunkin’ has options including giving him a coffee break with fun customizable IOU coupons. The QSR is also offering a feel-good promotion where for every e-gift card sent via DunkinCoffeeBreak.com, the company will donate $1, up to $100,000, to the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation to support health and hunger relief for children in underserved communities. 

Hotels.com is acknowledging that 2020 isn’t going exactly as planned for anyone. For its Father’s Day promotion, it's proposing that kids promise their dads a Mulligan (a do-over) and the best celebration ever — in 2021.  The company held a 48-hour sale on June 16-17 (in honor of the 48th annual celebration of Father's Day) offering 50% off bookings at 10 golf resorts across the globe “so you and your dad can take an un'FORE'getable Dad's Day trip between now and June 2021.”
