When is Father’s Day again?
It’s
sometime in June, I know, but FYI, it’s June 21
st this year!
For me, that Sunday in June always comes far too fast and I
am always crunched at the last minute to know what I should get for dear old
dad. To help out, I’ve compiled a Top 10 Gift Guide of some of the more popular
gifts to give the favorite man in your life no matter if he is the
do-it-yourself type or the constant on-the-go business man. Here is my Top 10
Best Father’s Day gifts this year that I’ve matched with a personality type
that might fit your dad:
1. The Fitbit
Everyone has one these days: your roommate,
the post office worker, and now YOUR dad! Have your dad join the Fitbit
bandwagon this year. This “super cool” product comes in several different
models, all of which aim to create a healthier living style for the wearer. One
of the more attractive styles is called the Fitbit Surge which includes
everything from a GPS tracking device, seeing phone call and text
notifications, to recording his running, cycling, and heartrate. Instead of
getting your dad a stereotypical watch, you can get this watch on steroids!
Unfortunately, it is a little on the pricey end at $249.95 (it looks like
you’ll be splitting the cost with your siblings on this one). But, if you want
to go for a more reasonable price, the Fitbit Flex is only $99.95 and can still help your dad stay in shape. The Fitbit Flex
will track all-day activity, and monitor how well your dad is sleeping. The
slate grey color will complement nicely with that tie clip your brother bought
him, too…

2. TruGlide
Duo Stylus Pen
Is the iPad 2 that you bought for your dad
a couple of years back just sitting on his desk and collecting dust? Now you
can finally get him to use it with the TruGlide Duo Stylus Pen! A bestseller with
dads everywhere, this stylus pen combo is simply the best writing tool your dad
could own. With its durable fiber tip and premium ball point pen, your dad can
take this stylus pen wherever he goes. From playing Plants vs. Zombies to
writing out a beautiful thank you card for his Father’s Day gift, your dad will
never be lost without a writing device. You can get this stylus for $19.99 in two color options; carbon
(black) or platinum (silver).
3. GoPro HERO3
Is your dad your hero? Does he enjoy extreme action and playing with
technology? Then maybe the GoPro is the perfect gift for your young-at-heart,
active dad. The GoPro HERO3 in white features HD video quality, an ultra
wide-angle glass lens, high-performance audio, and it is waterproof. This GoPro will cost $199.99, and it will give your dad enough entertainment for a
lifetime (just try to keep him from doing too many extreme jumps off the roof).

4. 360° Tablet Kickstand
Is your dad sick of having his neck hurt or
having his wrist be sore from holding onto his tablet every day? Let’s face it,
he’s clocked in more hours playing Minecraft than he has mowing the lawn this
spring, but you love him anyway. This versatile kickstand is the perfect way to
transform his tablet into a friendly, on-the-go device. The 360 degree swivel will
adhere directly onto his tablet using removable micosuction pad grips that create
a firm and sturdy hold on the tablet.
The kickstand is the perfect gift to give to your dad if he loves using
his tablet! You can get this 360° Tablet Kickstand for $39.99.
5. Fiero Barbecue Stainless Steel Set
SUMMER(!) and grilling season is upon us, but
no grill connoisseur is complete without his own grilling toolset. Imagine your
dad outside grilling and he is struggling to find his spatula… But, wait, what’s
this? You bought him a Fiero barbecue stainless steel set? Now, your dad never
has to go looking for any of his barbecue tools again. He can show off in style
with his extra-large stainless steel spatula, and he can blast his friends away
with his basting brush. This kit comes with 5 different grilling tools which
are all packaged nicely in an aluminum case. You can get this all of for $59.95.

6. The Hiker
Is your dad more of the rugged type? Is he
dragging you and your sister to go camping on the weekends? Well, maybe the
Swiss Army Knife called the “Hiker” is the knife of your dad’s dreams. It will
come in handy when he is out fishing or just strolling through the woods on a
relaxing hike. Either way, this portable Swiss Army Knife will do wonders and it
includes thirteen different tools (from a wood saw to a wire stripper), so if
your dad does find himself lost in the great outdoors, he will have you to
thank for his survival! Get it for $36.00.

Is your dad a smarty?
Well, the Smartie Microfiber Cloth may be just the right touch. This
antibacterial microfiber cleaning cloth is perfect for cleaning phone screens,
eyeglasses, camera lenses, and tablets! Are you sick of hearing your dad

9. Apex
Plus Fine Point Active Stylus
I remember when I gave my dad a beautiful ballpoint
pen for Father’s Day… But, that was back in 1998. For today’s tech-savvy father,
this fine point active stylus is the perfect gadget that will bring your dad
into the 21st century. With an Apex in his hand and a touch screen
by his side, your dad will be unstoppable in the business world. Say goodbye to
the old pen and paper combo and welcome in technology’s latest note taking
device. The Apex Plus works beautifully with all iPad models and many popular Android
devices. With its 2mm tip and replaceable
AAA battery, your dad will never miss a note! You can get it in either matte black
or titanium for $49.99.
10.
Of course, if none of these completely tickle
your fancy and your Dad is a “Jack-of-all-Trades”, then the Lynktec bundle will
be a crowd pleaser on Father’s Day. This bundle includes the Apollo 11 Smartie
Microfiber Cloth, the 360° Tablet Kickstand, and the TruGlide Duo Stylus Pen in
carbon. You can get this fantastic bundle for $54.95 (which is such a steal since it is normally worth $80!).
