Each year, on the third Sunday in June, we celebrate our fathers and grandfathers during a holiday named “Father’s Day”.

Also, there’s a tradition for the guys in your family to receive gifts from  their kids and wife.

We believe netbooks could be great presents ideas, especially since there are lots of Father’s Day netbook deals available these days, so they will be pretty cheap. Below you will find some of the best offers i spotted, all on reliable devices and with good reviews from previous buyers.

So, here are the netbooks recommended for this year’s Father’s Day, on June 20, 2010, Click each one’s name for more details, pictures, reviews from previous buyers or the option to buy them:

• Toshiba Mini NB305 – $399 $330 + Free Shipping . This is my favorite 10 inch mini laptop right now, like I’ve also said in the review i wrote for the NB305 Toshiba Mini series. Why? Because it is the most ergonomic and solid built product, for a good price. Inside this Toshiba you will get the standard netbook hardware, plus a big battery capable of around 10 hours of life. It’s also very good looking, with a nice matte casing, and comes with the best chiclet keyboard and trackpad available right now on a netbook. And now with this discounted price, is definitely a great deal.
• Asus EEE PC 1005PE-PU-27BK – $374 + Free Shipping . This Asus is not cheap, although it comes with a 5% discount. But it is good, very good though. As you know, the EEE PCs are the best in their class, with very nice design and good build quality. They also pack the latest in terms of hardware and connectivity and on this particular version, you will get a 14 hours battery life. And, unlike most Asus netbooks that come with a glossy casing, this one is matte, so you won’t have problems with fingerprints and scratches.

• Dell Inspiron iM1012 – $309 (40 bucks discount) + Free Shipping . The good part with Dell computers is that they are accepted in most public institutions and schools. Plus, in the US they benefit from Dell’s very good service and distribution system. This netbook is overall a good machine, while not impressing in any particular area. Comes with standard features, good looks (it is glossy), 8 hours battery life and solid reviews from users. So definitely an offer worth checking out.
• Samsung N150 – $349 $279 + Free Shipping . Samsung make some reliable netbooks, that’s for sure, Their devices have always been popular in the States. Now, the N150 comes with a new slimmer body and reduced weight. Hardware and features are pretty much standard, although there’s no Bluetooth connectivity. The even better part is the fact that this Samsung is available with an all-matte finish in black and blue and there’s a non-glare display also. These and very good price make this Samsung an excellent pick for Father’s Day 2010.

• HP Mini 210 – $449 $279 + Free Shipping . An HP mini laptop couldn’t have missed from this list so here’s the HP Mini 210. A solid netbook with nice looks, now available with a huge discount. Features are standard, although connectivity options are not the best on this HP. All in all though the device is a good buy and i particularly like the matte display on this one, making it suitable for using outside.
• Gateway LT2023u – $239 + Free Shipping . Last but not least, there’s this Gateway with an amazing price. It offers all the features you would need and comes with decent construction and Windows 7 Starter as the OS. However, there’s only a 3 Cell battery on this one which should be enough for 3-4 hours of life. But, considering how good the price for this device is, the minor inconveniences can be overlooked.

It’s important to know that prices and availability for these products might change fast, because these deals are very hot right now. So, if you want to profit from them, you’d better act fast.

Of course, if you don’t really want to buy a netbook as a present for your fathers and granddads, you can choose some others from this huge list of products on Amazon, all available with good discounts and Free 2-Day Shipping if you order in time for Father’s Day 2010 . As other gifts ideas, I would suggest a nice watch, a Swiss knife, an electric tool useful around the house, a digital photo frame or a nice leather wallet.

The important thing about a Father’s Day gift is to give it from the heart. No matter if it’s a poem, a card or an expensive gift, what matters is for it to show you fathers and grandfathers how much you really care about them.
