Jewelry, watches, and eyewear are just some of the great pieces you can find from them. I am loving the Chrono S2 watch for everyday wear, it looks quite posh, but is very affordable. I also highly recommend The Villa sunglasses for a great pair of glasses for sun protection. He will love anything you pick out for him from this online retailer.

For the practical dad, or any guy that has a garage, you are going to want to get the latest from myQ–the myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad. This brand new product is so simple to install and replaces outdated garage keypads to become high tech surveillance on your property. Essentially, the old numeric mounted keypad you would have on your garage has been majorly upgraded to become like a video doorbell that have become so popular over the years. You can program the keypad to be motion activated, so you can see anything (or anyone) moving around your garage any time of day, on your cell phone. You can even control opening the garage door from wherever you are, even if you are not at home. I can’t tell you how convenient that is! Wondering when the kids are getting home or who is coming inside while you are away? Now, you know! If home security is a concern, this is an especially great device because it can record video and alert you real time what is going at at your property. Over the past 10 years, millions of homes have added a video doorbell to their front door, letting homeowners see and interact with visitors. However, in most homes, family members don’t enter through the front door, they enter through the garage door. The Smart Garage Video Keypad provides peace of mind for your real “front door” with continuous monitoring and secure access control. It’s a must-have smart home product that’s especially helpful for busy families. Kids often fail to text me when they get home. Reliable myQ notifications take the place of forgetful texts and eliminates any worries around the kids getting home safely. This device is genius and essential for your home. I highly recommend this myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad for everyone!

For the guy that loves to get out and go on adventures, he will love Cotopaxi gear to take with him. We are loving the Torre 24L Bucket Pack Cada dia. This is the perfect backpack to take with him whether he is flying to some new destination or exploring local terrain on a family hike. This roomy backpack comes in vibrant signature colors that Cotopaxi is known for. It’s loaded with comfortable features like padded straps and mesh back for breathability and lots of compartments for anything he needs to take with him. Be sure to pick up a Cotopaxi Dad Hat while you are shopping, it will quickly become his very favorite cap!

Gerber tools are always a sure-fire win for gifts. For the dad that loves to camp, I recommend the Gerber Camp Set Up Kit. This kit is loaded with gear that will make getting your campground set up in no time a breeze. A Pack Hatchet, Fire Starter, and Stake-Out camp multi-tool. He will be taking this on all future family outdoor adventures–which is great because they come with a limited lifetime warranty which Gerber offers on all their products!

Does your favorite guy love gathering around the campfire? Give him a Rumpl NanoLoft Flame Blanket for him to use while enjoying the great outdoors. This super compact flame resistant blanket is great to take on his outdoor adventures or for use in his own backyard while sitting by a nice fire with the family or gazing at the stars. I love how cozy this blanket is without being bulky. It’s made up of recycled bottles and is about the size of a reusable bottle!

Speaking of fires, we can’t share a list of favorite products without including Cutting Edge Wood. This is the end all be all of wood. Whether he loves backyard smoking or just sitting around the campfire, they have you covered.  I will say, though, that I’ve never had a nicer fire than with Cutting Edge Firewood. This is the most amazing firewood we’ve ever had the pleasure to try. What makes it so special? It is treated and dried to perfection. So when it burns, it burns cleaner, brighter, longer, and without the smoke. That makes a huge difference in enjoyment. Not only that, but the aroma from the burning wood is sensational. I can’t get enough of the cherry wood! You can schedule white glove deliveries to your home with just the amount of wood you would like to have. They also have cooking wood that smells amazing, perfect for the family that loves to smoke food. A wonderful gift that you can enjoy together, year round.

You’ve got the wood covered, but now here’s another favorite of ours to put it in. Treat your favorite person to the gift of endless fires, great conversation, and quality time. How? By gifting them a gorgeous stainless steel Yukon 2.0 from Solo Stove. This extra large fire pit will be the centerpiece of many gatherings with friends and family. It’s honestly beautiful to look at as it is, but even more so when a roaring fire is lit within. An added perk to having the Yukon 2.0 is that it is smokeless. Believe it or not, even though that sounded hard to believe to me when I first heard, it’s true. Other than stoking the fire or starting it, you can sit comfortably around the fire without smoke following you wherever you go or burning your eyes. You don’t even smell like you’ve been around a campfire. A great feature I love–it has a removable base plate and ash pan to make it very easy to clean up and stay clean. You will find yourself coming up with excuses to go sit outside and enjoy the outdoors, no matter the time of year. In fact, how great does it sound to gather around the fire and watch the stars, enjoying some peace and tranquility rather than sitting in front of a screen? Sounds heavenly to me, and I know from experience, it most definitely is! This makes a great gift that will last a lifetime, with a warranty to back it up!

Looking to upgrade his wallet game? Yeah, we think it’s about time to ditch the bulky wallets that leave him feeling unbalanced and overloaded and trade it in for an ultra sleek and high tech version. Check out Ekster for a variety of great looking and efficient wallets with a small profile that can sync up to your phone and allow it to be tracked. No more wondering where he put his wallet if he has a tracker in his Ekster–your wallet will play a cool tune to help you locate it. I also love their laptop sleeves (juniper green is a gorgeous color) to protect computers as your favorite guy is commuting to the office.

For the dad who is really a kid at heart or just loves to get outside and play with his kids, this is something he’s gonna want to have. Gel Blasters are the coolest toys ever! Yeah, you may think this is an ordinary play gun, but it is extraordinary! These automatic blasters are so much fun. When we first opened them, we thought they looked cool, but we had no idea how much fun and how much use we would have gotten out of them. Gel Blasters were created by a dad wanting to spend time with his kids. So every feature on them is tried and tested for ultimate user experience and fun. These blasters use gel pellets, called Gellets, that can be expanded in water and then used for ammo. The guns can be made automatic and the ammo flies at great speeds and distances. Each blaster comes with safety glasses, Gellets, and rechargeable cables. We love these blasters so much, we’ve introduced them to all the kids and dads in our neighborhood and we frequently have battles. There are tons of accessories you can get, too, including Starfire Gellets, which glow in the dark!

We found the greatest game that every dad will love! Chippo is something that you can literally play for hours in your own backyard, or take it with you to the beach, camping, tailgating or wherever you want to go! Combining golf and cornhole, this game is a blast! It’s active and engaging, perfect for every member of the family. We have enjoyed taking it outside and playing as a family, which is an added benefit–quality time away from screens and interacting with the people we love most. I suggest getting the Chippo Discount Bundle, which includes 2 Chippo Boards, 2 Chippo chipping mats, 6 special foam Chippo balls by almostGolf, the Chippo Travel Satchel to take it all on the go (wherever that may be) and an extra 12 balls. Highly recommended!

If golf is a passion of his, you’ve got to check out the latest from Garmin, the Approach S70. This smartwatch is incredible! You can track your fitness and health, play music on your wrist, receive texts, use contactless pay and that is just the beginning. You can actually strengthen your golf game with this amazing watch. You can view the green on your screen from wherever you are on the course, know the wind speed and direction, track your shot distance and keep score, become aware of hazards and more. Pair it with the Garmin Golf app to do even more! It is the ultimate gift for the golf fanatic!

Garmin makes great products, I love their fitness trackers. But let’s not forget they have quite a few incredible automotive gift ideas, as well. Backup cameras, navigators, and even dash cams. More and more, it’s a good idea to have a good quality dash cam for situations where you might need proof of events that have taken place. The Garmin Dash Cam Live is the ultimate model. While it does require a low-cost subscription to be constantly connected, this device can give you the peace of mind you need. You can know where your car is at all times and what is happening around it. You can get theft alerts, location tracking, driving alerts, and recorded video with location details while driving. It’s a pretty amazing device and one you will love having!

Public Rec is one of my all time favorite brands for comfortable clothing. It is seriously the best! You must give them a try. With the summer here, take the time to find out exactly what I am talking about. Pick up a pair (or 5!) of their All Day Every Day 5 Pocket shorts for men and he will quickly become a believer. These shorts flex and move with you, no matter the activity. They are cool and unrestrictive and can be dressed up or down. A great option for golf, too. Pair it with their Go-To Polo and you’ve got your self an unbeatable outfit.

Is cologne on his list of favorite things? FragranceNet.com always has an amazing selection of gifts at a fraction of the cost. There are always popular designer brands like Burberry, Calvin Klein, Gucci, Ermenegildo Zegna, and hundreds more. Not sure exactly what he will love? They will guide you in the right direction. There are tons of reviews on the colognes, too, so you don’t have to worry about picking one without being able to smell it in person. I’ve yet to be disappointed in any purchase I have made from them. I love that you can find so many sizes and gift sets all in one place.

What is Father’s Day without some sweet treats for your favorite guy? Look to GourmetGiftBaskets.com for a great assortment of the perfect treats to gift dad on his day. Whether it be Bacon and chocolate bundt cakes or sweet and savory meat and cheese boxes, they have the best choices–over 70 different ones for Father’s Day alone! I highly recommend the Father’s Day Cheesecake Assortment. It is loaded with 8 different delectable flavors of creamy cheesecake, so you can’t go wrong. Having lived on the east coast for so long, we know good cheesecake and this is scrumptious! Turtle, Oreo, strawberry swirl, cherry almond, triple chocolate are just some of the yummy flavors. We also love the Father’s Day Brownie Gift Box, filled with sweet treats galore. Whether you will be celebrating with dad in person or just want to let him know you are thinking of him and want to send a gift in your place, Gourmet Gift Baskets has you covered!

For the dad that loves listening to music or podcasts, the Newport Plug-in Bluetooth Speaker from OC Acoustic is a great gift. This minimal speaker plugs into the wall and gives mega sound, controlled by an app on your phone. I love the sporty new color in black and orange that he will be sure to love, as well. You can take it with you wherever you want incredible sound. I love the idea of taking it to the office, using it in your home gym or in the garage as he works on projects. You can even pick up a couple and synch them together using “party mode” and they will broadcast the same sounds. Very cool!

If an experience is more in line with what your favorite guy is up to this Father’s Day, check out Uncharted Society. Many destinations are available, but I am loving the idea of visiting prehistoric Moab, Utah. This multi-hour, guided experience takes riders through Utah’s incredibly scenic trails to overlook Arches National Park, explore the remains of historic sights and discover dinosaur bones. Participants in this trip play in sandy washes, cruise over slickrock and visit spectacular vistas. Tell me he wouldn’t absolutely love this!
