Want to get your dad something a little more personal this Father's day? Skip the tie section at the department store and turn instead to your family photo collection.

These days there are plenty of ways to turn some of your favorite family memories into a gift you can wrap up with a bow. We've found services that can customize anything from a mug to a Rubik's cube with fun family photographs. So if you've got a dad who is notoriously hard to shop for, check out these ideas for one-of-a-kind Father's Day gifts that any dad is sure to treasure.

Personalized Mugs: A Fun Twist on an Old Favorite

A mug is a great gift idea, considering how sacred morning coffee time is to many of us. Your favorite beverage in a special mug makes the morning all that much sweeter. But if your dad already has enough "World's Best Dad" mugs to last a lifetime, it may be time to up your game. Luckily, there are now plenty of great online services that can customize Father's Day mugs with photos, text, or a mixture of both. We suggest pairing your mug with some nice coffee beans or a fancy package of tea.

While a quick Google search for "custom father's day gifts" should yield plenty of results, Shutterfly and Personalization Mall tend to be good places to start. What if dad isn't much of a coffee drinker? No worries. You can also get everything from personalized water bottles to beer mugs.

If you've yet to check out a site called FaceSocks, then prepare for a whole new range of hilarious Father's Day gift options. All you have to do is upload a photo or photos of your dad's favorite faces (you can add up to four). It can be a photo of yourself, your dog, or even your dad himself.

Facesocks will then create a customized pair of socks that feature the face or faces against a fun background pattern. It's a sure way to put a smile on your dad's face and feet this Father's Day. Facesocks also offers customized blankets and face masks if your dad is more of a flip-flop guy.

If your dad is into jig-saw puzzles, give him a fun new activity this Father's Day with a personalized photo puzzle. Check out a site called Pictorem, which will turn your photo into one of a number of customized puzzles. You could gift it to him alongside a bottle of Mod Podge, so that he can preserve the puzzle when he's finished!

You can choose from a small, 25-piece puzzle shaped like a heart or a larger 1000-piece puzzle that will give your dad a real challenge. If you really want to put Dad to the test, then mix up the pieces before you give them to him and let him discover which photo you used along the way.

Adult coloring books are all the rage, and for good reason. People worldwide have finally decided to collectively admit that the fun of coloring never fades, no matter how old you get. If your dad happens to be a fan of the coloring craze, then why not create him a customized coloring book?

If you want to attempt the DIY route, then several sites can turn your photos into coloring pages for free. Try using LunaPic's colorbook tool or ScrapColoring, which is a free site designed to turn photos into coloring pages. However, as you may soon discover, some photos are likely to turn out better than others. If you want your coloring book to look more professional, then head over to ReallyColor, where you can create your own bound coloring book with up to 24 pages.

Dad will then enjoy a whole new challenge as he seeks to get each of the blocks back into place and reveal the four custom photos. Depending on his puzzle prowess, this is a task he may literally enjoy attempting to sort out for years to come.
