TrailKeg

Is the dad in your life a craft beer kind of guy? Does he love to take his favorite beer with him to backyard BBQs, tailgating, or hanging with neighbors in the col-de-sac? If so, TrailKeg is what he needs. With TrailKeg, dad can now take his favorite craft beer from his local brewery with him wherever he goes – whether he’s taking some home to enjoy while watching the game or he is headed out to a tailgate with friends.

TrailKeg’s innovative travel keg technology keeps his beer carbonated and cold with every use so he doesn’t have to worry about it going flat over time. The vacuum-sealed and insulated growler keeps beer cold for up to 24 hours. It also keeps it carbonated. The keg apparatus feeds CO2 into the growler while the modular tap gives you a fresh-from-the-keg taste – because it is!

Dad can take his TrailKeg wherever he goes and for any event. Its easy-carry handle makes it portable. He can also bring hot coffee, hot chocolate, or even carbonated water along with him in the TrailKeg. It can hold more than 10 cans of beer, more than 20 cups of hot chocolate, and a gallon of iced coffee or water. And if you decide to keep your TrailKeg at home, you can put it in the fridge to keep it colder longer or attach it to your kegierator.

TrailKeg is perfect for the tailgating, camping, fishing, and the craft beer-loving dad in your life.

Savane

Dads like to be stylish, too. No matter what they are doing- heading to the office or out to a neighborhood barbecue- they want to look good while doing it. But they also need their style to be functional because nothing says “dad” like being able to move around with your kids comfortably. Savane has stylish, comfortable, and functional dress pants, casual pants, and shorts that are perfect for a Father’s Day gift this year.

Is dad in need of some new dress pants that move with him? Premium Flex Dress Pants are flexible and stretchy, giving dad the fit he loves with the room he needs to move. The flexible waistband with 3 additional inches of room makes it comfortable to wear all day long. ThePremium Flex Dress Pants are easy to care for, too- they are machine washable with an everlasting crease in the front and no ironing is ever needed.

The Performance Linen Touch Dress Pants are another cool and comfortable option for dad to wear to work or over the weekend. The linen is soft and breezy, and the flat front gives dad the style he loves. The Performance Linen Touch Dress Pant is machine washable which means dad (or you) will never have to get out the iron. Just wash, dry, and head out the door.

Dad needs some casual wear for the weekend, too. Savane offers several different types of shorts for men, and their new Select Edition Printed and Plaid line is something that dad will truly love. There are several different print options, including Flamingo, Pineapple, Palm Trees, Martinis, and various colors of plaid which means you can get the shorts that perfectly match dad’s style. A 9” inseam, flat front, and totally machine washable means they are easy to wear- and easy to take care of.

Amazon Echo

Alexa, order more pre-workout mix. 

Alexa, play 80’s soft rock radio. 

Dads love telling people what to do. Luckily for him, Alexa will not only listen to him but actually respond every time he asks her something, unlike the children he helped create. Give him the gift of ordering someone else around with an Amazon Echo from Amazon.

The Echo is an artificial intelligence software that connects to Amazon, the leading producer in delivered goods. The Echo (affectionately known as Alexa) can play dad’s favorite music, order things for him from his Amazon account, and even connect products within your smart home like your lights, your thermostat, your television, or even your home’s internal speaker system.

Amazon’s second generation Echo now comes in several different colors and designs to fit dad’s style or your home’s decor such as charcoal, heather gray, or sandstone fabric as well as an oak or walnut finish.

Dad will love all the things he can do with his Echo. The advanced Dolby processing allows for better sound quality. It also has seven microphones and noise cancellation so Alexa can always hear you. The cylinder design of the Echo also allows for 360 degree omnidirectional audio so sound can be heard throughout an entire room. Alexa can also: 

• Check his calendar, the weather, traffic, his shopping list, and his favorite team’s sport scores
• Make calls and send messages
• Can connect and control your home’s smart devices like your television, your thermostat, your sprinklers, your air purification system, your smart lights, your garage doors, and more.
• For drinking and Prime nights- request an Uber or order a pizza

Let dad feel like he’s a little more in control with an Echo from Amazon.

X Shock Wireless Ear Buds

Dads are always on the move. You can often find them working out, hanging with kids, going for a run, or just taking care of some chores around the house. Bring a little music and a lot of joy into their day with some new X Shock Wireless Ear Buds this Father’s Day.

The X Shock Wireless Ear Buds are unlike any other wireless headphones he has worn. They are small earbuds (kind of like the ones they see the secret agents wear in movies, so they will feel super cool) that easily fit and stay in place in his ear so no matter what type of movement he is doing, they won’t fall out. BLUETOOTH technology gives him instant connection to his device so he can start listening the moment he removes the buds from their convenient charging station. 

As far as headphones go, the X Shock Wireless Ear Buds are one of the lightest. Weighing in at only 6 grams each, he won’t even notice they are on his person. The buds only take 90 minutes to fully charge and have 60 hours of playtime so he will be ready to go at a moment’s notice. And if the only time dad can get his workout in is in the wee morning hours or late at night, the LED lights within his ear buds will make sure he’s seen by passer-byers.

Formula Experiences

For the ultimate in Father’s Day gifts, consider giving the dad in your life the experience of a lifetime. Formula Experiences offers real race car experiences for the man who has a need for speed. Located along the Virginia/North Carolina border at the VIRginia International Raceway, this formula and prototype 2018 race car opportunity will give dad the most memorable Father’s Day ever.

There are several different options for racing experience from Formula Experiences ranging from $95 to $5,995. Ride-alongs give you a chance to ride next to a real race car driver for 3 laps, day or night. If dad has some racing experience, he can drive a car on his own for a few laps, taking the rounds as fast as he dares. There are also one- or two-day group experiences that include one-on-one training, ride alongs or individual racing, and course circuit analysis.

If dad loves NASCAR, racing, or just exhilarating experiences, consider getting him a race experience from Formula Experience this Father’s Day.

Sharkbanz

If you have a dad in your life that loves to surf or just loves to be in the ocean, chances are he is aware of the dangers that lurk beneath him. Sharkbanz are an innovative product that keeps all surfers safe in the ocean. It’s patented magnetic technology, which was developed by marine biologist, helps deter predatory shark species while he’s out in the water.

The Sharkbanz 2 can be worn on his wrist or ankle. It’s light ergonomic design makes it barely noticeable while he’s in the water and doesn’t get in the way of him trying to catch that wave. It doesn’t require any charging or batteries, so it is always ready to go the minute he hits the shore. It can fit ages 5 and up, and is effective to depths of 100 meters or 330 feet.

Dad will be safe from any under the sea predators with Sharkbanz and mom can stay content on the shore knowing he is doing just fine. Pro tip: For the ultimate gift, get one for your surfer kids, too, so they can all go surfing with dad this Father’s Day (and you can sit and relax on the beach by yourself – just a suggestion).

Moral Code Wallet

Dads are notorious for keeping their wallets for way longer than they should. They are usually torn, worn out, and barely holding onto life before he will finally succumb to getting a new one. If your dad is in desperate need for a new money holder, a high quality wallet like one from Moral Code may be the perfect gift for him this Father’s Day.

The Turner wallet from Moral Code is a classic and traditional style wallet that dad is sure to love. It is made from high-quality, premium calf leather ensuring that it will withstand the test of time (and the test of sitting in his back pocket for the next several years). It is a perfect combination of a card case and standard wallet, giving him six credit card slots and two additional pockets for whatever he needs (like pictures of you and the kids).

The currency pockets will hold all his cash but it won’t bulk up like other wallets. The Turner design gives a lean and slim look while holding everything he needs, so he won’t feel as though he’s carrying a rock in his pocket instead of his wallet. Although he may have a rock in there too, because kids.

Boppy ComfyFit Baby Carrier

It’s important for dad to have bonding time with baby. One of the best ways a dad can do this- especially a new (or new again) dad- is to baby wear. Baby wearing provides several advantages for parents and caregivers, and dad’s are no exception. It is a great way to bond with the baby and still have hands free to do other things. Boppy’s new ComfyFit Baby Carrier is a simple, easy to use, and comfortable baby carrier that dad will love to use with his little bundle.

The ComfyFit Baby Carrier is designed to be easy to use. It is a combination of a standard snap baby carrier and a wrap carrier so parents feel confident and baby feels comfortable and close. It can be used two different ways– forward-facing or backward-facing- on the front of dad (it is recommended that baby stay backward-facing until at least 6 months of age). It can be used for babies starting at 8 pounds all the way up to 35 pounds.

The padded waist and shoulders make the ComfyFit Baby Carrier easy to wear, even for extended periods of time. A zippered pouch on the waistband gives dad a place to put his wallet, phone, or keys too. And the whole carrier is machine-washable because we all know accidents happen.

Give dad the gift of bonding with baby with Boppy’s ComfyFit Baby Carrier this Father’s Day. Dad and baby will both love it.

MitoQ

There is no getting around it- dad is getting older with each passing Father’s Day. Keeping him healthy with optimal overall wellness is important. There are many different supplements, vitamins, and minerals that promise to deliver anti-aging properties, energy support, and the nutrition he needs to keep healthy and strong. But one of the most important parts of your body’s regeneration process- the mitochondria- isn’t always the first thing he may thing of when exploring health and wellness options.

MitoQ is an antioxidant in which helps your cell’s mitochondria, the part of your cell that converts food and oxygen into energy, function properly. Like most processes in our bodies, your cell’s mitochondria become less efficient. MitoQ penetrates your body’s cells to help produce it’s natural antioxidant, CoQ10, which decreases as you age making you more susceptible to damage from free radicals and illness.

This daily supplement will help dad feel more energized and will slow his aging process. Increased mitochondrial health means more oxygen to his cells, better energy conversion, and better overall organ health. He will be better protected against over 200 diseases that are related to decreased mitochondrial health, giving him more time and energy to spend with the kids.

Lazy One

One of the best gifts for dads on Father’s Day are gifts that make them laugh. Silly gifts are sometimes the best, and laughable boxers and barbecue aprons from Lazy One are definitely something that will make him smile.

These Funny Boxers from Lazy One will not only be something that are comfortable for dad to lounge around in during the weekend but they will also make everyone in the family laugh out loud. With sayings like, “Moose Caboose,” “Sascrotch,” and “Do These Shorts Make My Bass Look Big” you will be sure to get a laugh out of him when he opens his gift!

Dads love to be in front of the grill, too. A new apron he can wear while flipping burgers is the perfect gift this Father’s Day. Imagine dad standing in front of the grill with an apron that says, “Grillin’ and Chillin'” or “Trophy Husband.” Everyone – kids, family, and friends – will all love it!

Give dad the gift of a thousand smiles with some funny boxers and a new barbecue apron from Lazy One (let’s just hope he doesn’t wear them at the same time).

Beer Brew Kit

If there is one thing most dads love, it’s beer. There is something about a locally brewed beer that makes dad’s day. This Father’s Day, give him the ability to make his own brew right at home with a Beer Brew Kit from Craft A Brew. 

Each beer brew kit comes with a starter package that will have dad well on his way to becoming a Master Brewer. The kit includes:

• Glass Carboy
• Funnel
• Racking Cane
• Rubber Stopper
• Transfer tubing
• Tubing clamp
• Airlock
• Thermometer
• Guide to Craft Brewing
• Recipe kit
• Sanitizer

Craft a Brew has several different types of beer brewing kits available. This Stone Pale Ale kit is a classic and trendy craft brew that gives soft caramel notes along with the hoppy taste from Columbus and Ahtanum hops. However, there are several other options for dad’s at-home brewery including Hefeweizen, Hard Cider, and Oktoberfest brews. He can even make you your own wine!

Kwilt Shoebox

If there is one thing that we, as parents, all do is take a ton of pictures of our kids. Eventually we get that dreadful, “Your phone is out of storage” message right before we are about to capture a meaningful memory. Don’t let dad get stuck without the ability to record baby’s first steps or their first at-bat. Free up his phone’s memory but giving him a simple, easy-to-use storage device like the one from Kwilt Shoebox.

Kwilt is a cloud-style storage device that can take photos and media from his phone or a USB and keep them safe and secure on his very own Cloud network. The best part? Dad can access your photos anywhere by downloading the Kwilt Shoebox app on your phone. Here’s how it works:

1. Plug in your Kwilt and connect it to your wifi network.
2. Plug in your external storage device (like an external hard drive or a USB stick) to Kwilt, sign into your Kwilt app on your phone, and start uploading to your personal Cloud directly from your phone.
3. Access pictures from anywhere at any time through the Kwilt app.

Once dad has uploaded your pictures to Kwilt, that’s it! His pictures are safe and secure on his own Cloud network, and now he has backup in several places. No matter what dad’s level of dadtographer, he doesn’t have to worry because he has unlimited storage, so he will be able to capture all the important memories without worry.

Baby Shusher

Having a new baby is hard work. Dads want to help as much as possible, especially with the night time routine, but sometimes the baby just won’t settle no matter what you do. The Baby Shusher is a must-have for all new dads. It provides the classic shushing sound that is often soothing to new babies as it reminds them of the sounds they heard in the womb.

The Baby Shusher is designed to help calm and settle your baby, or simple help them to get a good night’s rest, by providing a sound that replicates that of which they heard while in mom’s belly. It is a series of loud rhythmic shushing noises that will help them to calm down and relax.

The speaker at the bottom of the Baby Shusher should be less than two feet away from your baby so that they can hear the noises over their own cries. Although it may seem loud to the parent, your little one won’t be able to settle down if they can’t hear the rhythmic “shush shush shush” sounds.

The Baby Shusher is a must-have for any new dad (or even a seasoned dad). It will help calm those intense crying spells and help everyone to have a more peaceful transition to this new life with his little one.
