Shame on you\u2026 But there\u2019s still a way to make up for your forgetfulness \u2014 get dear old Dad an Apple Store\u00a0Gift Card! Even as you\u2019re on your way to school or work on the train or bus, or carpooling with your buds, you can buy a gift card from your iPhone so there\u2019s no need to even be sitting near a \u201creal\u201d computer. It will be delivered via email within 24 hours, and Dad can use it to purchase anything from accessories to a MacBook either online or at a brick-and-mortar Apple Store. Here is a step-by-step on how to do it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Launch the Apple Store app. Don\u2019t have it on your iPhone? <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/apple-store\/id375380948?mt=8\">Download it from the App Store here.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Tap \u201cShop\u201d &#8211; it\u2019s at the bottom of the screen.<\/li>\n<li>Type \u201cgift cards\u201d in the search field at the top of the screen.<\/li>\n<li>The Apple Store Gift Cards by Email will be listed at the top of the list in Silver, Space Gray, or Gold &#8212; the same colors as that nice <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/28901-apples-new-macbook-a-light-thin-enigma\">12-inch MacBook<\/a> you&#8217;re gifting Dad with. Tap one of the cards<\/li>\n<li>Enter the amount. Remember, your father raised you and taught you many important lessons, the first of which was to be generous to others. In other words, aim toward the top of the $25 to $2000 range for the gift cards.<\/li>\n<li>Before you add the Gift Card to your shopping cart, you have the chance to define who the giver and recipient are, add their addresses, change the subject line of the email, and add a headline and message to the email.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once Dad receives the gift card and thanks you, he&#8217;ll probably write your name back into his last will and testament, too. Of course, to get back in his good graces you may also need to order him an <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/Thunderbolt\/Dock\/OWC\/Thunderbolt2-Dock\/\" target=\"_blank\">OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock<\/a> to do that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, you forgot to get Dad a gift for Father\u2019s Day.
