5 Unique Gifts That Dads Will Love
“Wow…..thaaaaaanks.”
That’s the response that most fathers feel obligated to give on Father’s Day. It’s usually delivered after receiving their 722nd ugly tie, or a new five-pack of boxer shorts. Fathers don’t get the cool gifts. Mothers Day on the other hand features presents that range from diamond rings to a trip to the spa to a new car. What does Pop get?
Crappy neckwear.
But here are some thoughtful, unique gift ideas that dad will actually appreciate.
Scosche Bluetooth Visor Mount w/ Caller ID
$99
Is dad always in the car screaming into his Bluetooth headset on business calls?
This little gadget is perfect for handling business on the go without looking like an enraged telemarketer in traffic. It has a ridiculously clear speakerphone and is ideal for use in states that have outlawed driving-while-on-the-phone.
Magic Johnson Autographed Spaulding
$199
If dad is a Lakers fan, this would be the ultimate Father’s Day gift — a basketball autographed by one of the greatest players of all time, Earvin “Magic” Johnson. Of course, if he’s a Celtic fan, you’ll probably have to settle for a Paul Pierce bobblehead or something…
Verizon Network Extender
$250
The extender plugs directly into dad’s Internet router and gives him full cellular service anywhere within 5,000 feet. It basically creates a miniature cellular tower and is perfect for dads with Verizon service who run into coverage issues around the house.
TV-B-Gone
$19.99
For the dad who has everything — including a healthy sense of humor — a ‘joke’ gift may suit him just fine. Here’s a simple one that he can enjoy for a while; TV B Gone. If your father hates seeing televisions every place he visits or he just gets a kick out of annoying people, this little remote control will work on almost any set. It only has one button — OFF— and it’s sure to amuse the troublemaker in him for months.
Gourmet Beer Gift Basket
$69.99- $119.99
If dad isn’t that sentimental, but occasionally likes to chug a few, we’ve got a gift that’s guaranteed to make him tear up just a little bit. The Beer Gift Basket comes with a variety of choices (from Light Beers to Imports to Microbrews to Heineken-specific) and offers his choice of six or twelve (for 119.99) top-shelf brews for your pop. They also include award-winning, beer-friendly snacks like peanuts, pretzels and beef jerky. –dusty culpepper
