(Springfield, MO) -- It's almost Father's Day and time to thank dad. Whatever kind of guy he is, there are lots of great gift items for every budget.

Bass Pro Shops has such a variety of things, you're bound to find something if you're running out of ideas.

Whether he loves to hunt, fish, or hang out around the house, there's everything from clothes and boats, grills and guns.

"Getting to do things like this with them," says father of four Christopher McQuarry. "Taking them to Dairy Queen. Going fishing with them. There's nothing better than taking them fishing."

"It's always something new, and it keeps me young," says father of three Greg Rose. "They always have me doing things that I liked to do when I was a kid."

But now it's your turn to get him something. But what?

"It's 400,000 square feet of anything that dads want," says Jacy Woosley, special events and promotions coordinator at Bass Pro. "From fishing to camping to clothing, we have redneck glasses that are big hits and a lot of fun."

So what do dads really want?

"A new bass boat. Anything to do with fishing!" says McQuarry.

"Maybe camping supplies," says Rose.

"Oh, maybe a Shimano Stradic reel. That would be awfully nice. I can keep going," says McQuarry.

"We carry brands like under armor and we also have a golf section," adds Woosley.

And why not look for sales to save a few bucks?

"A bunch of Tervis cup brands this week, all kinds of wide world sports shirts, golf balls are on sale, grills are on sale."

She says she knows from experience that grills will keep dad happy, and even mom, too.

"So this way he can be outside and my mom's happy because the kitchen stays clean."

And no matter your budget, there's something affordable for you.

"If you wanted to spend ten dollars on dad or $10,000 on a boat, we have a wide range of anything you can think of," she says.

Although many dads would love anything they got, if all else fails, just get creative.

"Generally the stuff that I like the most is the stuff that they make me. Like last year they made a nice poster -- they each drew a picture on it of us fishing, and that to me is the best thing," says McQuarry.

Sometimes the best things in life are free. Bass Pro is hosting a Father's Day brunch on Sunday, June 17th.
