Father’s Day Gear Gift Guide

You know by now that we’ve been advocating you ditch the usual tacky team logo tie and socks, and get your dad one of these 9 truly memorable and unique gifts that’ll give you the edge in the “Favorite Child” contest he pretends he’s not secretly having:

Enterprise Pizza Cutter

If your old man dreamed of leaving this planet for intergalactic adventure but never made it past Starfleet academy, then maybe you can give him a small touch of escapism with the USS Enterprise pizza cutter from Thinkgeek.com. I found the extra large circular cutting blade (the ship’s bridge) really useful for divvying up a massive stromboli. Pick it up and revel in your dad exclaiming ‘Qapla’!

ThinkGeekSOG Gunny Series Knife

R Lee Ermey (the drill sergeant who was the best part of the best half of “Full Metal Jacket”) designing a combat knife is like Chuck Norris designing a pair of nunchucks or Ron Jeremy designing a… nevermind. My point being, the man knows his weaponry. So give your favorite hardass dad one of the 1000 “Gunny series” limited edition knives being made by SOG. This 12″ blade is made of hardy Cocobolo hardwood, inlaid with Stingray leather, and the blade is made of VG-10 stainless steel. (Plus it chews iron and shits nails. Really.)

Klhip Nail Clippers

If pops has the nasty tendency of letting his toe nails go all Freddy Kruger, then send a loving message and get him the Klhip nail clippers. The Maserati of nail clippers (just go with me on this), the Klhips are ergonomically designed to cut clean with minimal effort, and to keep clippings from ricocheting like bullets in a campfire. They managed to cut through my hooves with ease. Gift these, your mom will thank you.

Soundfreaq Sound Platform

Sharp looking in any room, the Soundfreaq Sound Platform will easily please any audiophile father. Able to play audio wirelessly from any Bluetooth-enabled device it also can charge and play any compatible device via the attached dock. With the Soundfreaq Sound Platform dad will be transported back to his favorite summer concerts, but he’ll actually remember it this time.

AviiQ Portable Quick Stand

If papa is a rollin’ stone and he’s always traveling for business, then he’ll definitely appreciate you getting him the AviiQ Portable Quick Stand. Unfolding completely flat, easily fitting into any carry-on bag, and then folding origami style into a sturdy yet comfortable laptop stand. Comes in a variety of hip colors.

Dyson Air Multiplier

Fresh off revolutionizing the over 100-year-old design of the vacuum, Dyson is now rewriting the 125-year-old book on fan innovation with the Dyson Air Multiplier. Drawing air in through its base and circulating it through a loop the Air Multiplier finishes by shooting out an uninterrupted airstream that’s 15 times cooler than a conventional bladed fan. It’ll keep your dad cool even as the mercury boils over.

Zozi.com

Ties fade out, watches stop ticking, sweaters just get uglier with age, so why don’t you forego giving something that’ll end up in the garbage and give your father an experience he won’t soon forget? Zozi.com offers a variety of unique outing packages across the nation from vintage wine and car (no, not together), experiences, polo lessons in California, and private fighter training and conditioning in Boston. With the option to electronically gift a package, which is especially great if you’re abroad. Zozi.com offers a 100% money-back guarantee if pops doesn’t love it. (Although I highly doubt that).

Flor de Cana Gran Reserve 7 Year Old

Help pops unwind after a long day with his own bottle of Flor de Cana Gran Reserve 7 Year Old. Smoky with a palate of caramel and dry toasted coconut, this rum is the cornerstone to a particularly tasty daiquiri, Cuba Libre, or even just over ice. Couple a bottle with a few medium-bodied cigars and you’ve got the ingredients for some serious Father/Son bonding.

Bushnell Hybrid Laser GPS

Does dear old dad have a Charles Barkley swing? Then he could benefit from any help getting around the course he can. Gift him with the Bushnell Hybrid, complete with the same PonSeeker technology 90% of PGA pros use. It has an incredibly accurate GPS function with over 16,000+ courses pre-loaded to give dad a better read of the fairway. Accurate to within a yard, the Bushnell Hybrid should get your old man back on track with his game and maybe even home before sundown.
