It doesn't matter how old our dad is, they all love neat new items, my dad is 79 and had I not talked him out of it he would have purchased a net book on QVC 2 weeks ago.
The question usually is not what would your dad really want but what you can afford to get him so lets keep this to under 150 dollars.
The first choice is the iPod Nano, this music player has been around forever and the design has changed over time but it still is king when it comes to mp3 players. Its so small and lightweight that you can clip it on anywhere, its the perfect music device for going to the gym, cycling or for a jog.
Not much else to say, it has the genius feature to create play lists and shake to shuffle songs. If your dad likes to listen to music and exercises in any way then its the perfect gift. If you order it by June 15th on the Apple website they promise delivery by Fathers Day.
$150.00 might be a little much so lets try and find something a bit cheaper, how about the boogie Board from Brookstone's online store? No its not for surfing the waves, its an LCD writing tablet.
Just like the memo boards we use with dry erase markers except you use a stylus on the pressure sensitive LCD screen, whatever you draw on it will stay there until the reset button is pressed to clear it all away. For $39.95 its a great gadget at a great price, but is it something your dad would use.
So we have a kind of expensive gift and a pretty decently priced gift so far, lets find one more choice. All dads were once boys and that means no matter how old we get we love toys, also from Brookstone check out this toy for $59.95.
The uControl Cloud Force RC Helicopter! Years ago buying a remote controlled helicopter would cost a fortune, use gas and be dangerous as hell. These small, safe and sturdy little guys are popping up all over. I've seen this one in action and its definitely a blast to play with and easy to get the hang of. As with the other Brookstone product if you order between June 14th and 16th they will get it to your dad in time.
So those are my three choices to get you started but there a quite are quite a few cool things at the Brookstone site, I recommend taking a look.
