2014 Gift Guide: Dad
Dads are pretty much irreplaceable. Mine has scraped my car off for me every day for the past week (since we started getting snow!) without me asking. Let's show dad that we care this holiday season with some unique and special gifts.
Festive Sprouts
My dad has a little bit of a green thumb and is probably the only person I know who actually enjoys Brussels sprouts. Let him try out growing his own with this Brussels Sprout growing kit!
Weatherproof Umbrella
Yes, something practical. This umbrella isn't cheap, but you won't need another one forever. It can withstand 100kmph winds without flipping inside out and is made of fibreglass. Your dad is already thanking you, especially if he's a golfer.
Grooming Kit
Dad needs something manly, but also good. Enter Kiehl's. Kiehl's only makes good products. Seriously. Treat the old man with this. The name is the
Men's Refueling Kit so it already sounds as butch as you can get, but the stuff in here is really fantastic. Like your typical lady, the
Facial Fuel Energizing Scrub is one of my favorites, and it will be one of his too.
Survival Kit
What are the chances that your dad is going to need a survival kit? Well, in Montana, it's probably better safe than sorry. And if you need some survival, who better to get it from than Bear Grylls. Great to keep in your car for little jobs that could use a multi tool or for camping trips.
Fitbet Flex
For the dad on the go, the FitBit flex is my favorite fitness tracking thing over the Jawbone or Nike Fuelband. It's a great gift for an active dad or one who is hoping to get more active.
Watch
Every year I say the same thing: guys need to have a nice watch. For one that is a nice halfway between classy and sporty, I like the Aeroflite Multifunction Leather Watch from Fossil. It's classy looking, but won't look out of place on casual day either.
Box Set of a TV Series He Missed
My dad missed the boat on Breaking Bad, so this year, he'll be getting the full series. Maybe not this show, but there has to be something your dad can binge watch, right? Even if it's Matlock.
What are you getting your old man for Christmas/holiday giving time? Is it socks? A kindle? Let me know!
