Today’s list of gifts are within the genre of tools, gadgets and accessories, but we have tons more ideas on the way, so keep checking back as we countdown to Father’s Day!
Toys for Boys
Guys love tools, gadgets and accessories, and the more unique and specialized, the better. Of course power tools will always excite…anything that buzzes or grinds is certain to please; but here are some fabulous little morsels as well…toys for all kinds of boys!
Victorinox Swiss Army Knife ‘Climber’, $40. What man would not adore all the functions of a Swiss Army Knife? This one’s got a cap lifter, wirestripper, toothpick, reamer, corkscrew, scissors, can opener, tweezers, two different sized screwdrivers and two blades all in one cool tool! He’ll love playing with it! Designed for the man who wants to carry it all without the bulk, the Climber has a lifetime warranty, stainless steel implements and Swiss-made quality and durability. It’s so doggone handy you’ll likely find yourself borrowing it from him!
For the foodie: cooking gadgets are an ideal gift, like this Rösle Digital Instant Read Thermometer, $45. In stainless steel featuring an easy-to-read illuminated digital display that measures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, Rösle’s instant-read thermometer is a must-have for everyday cooking. It quickly checks roasts, deep-fry oil, infant food, even wine for serving and water for making tea. Perfect for outdoor grilling, too!
Ah, Montblanc. Excuse me, but this is not a pen. It’s a writing instrument. The fine craftsmanship of a Montblanc will set him apart from all the other chumps out there who are still signing checks the uncivilized way. You can opt for the Meisterstück LeGrand in black resin above, $450, with gold-plated details–it’s a Montblanc classic. Free engraving makes it extra special. Or splurge on a limited edition, like the diamond- and sapphire-encrusted Boheme Papillon, below, valued at 180,000 Euros! Either way, Dad is sure to leave his mark with the utmost elegance.
Paloma’s Caliper money clip, $325, above left, and Paloma’s Caliper key ring, $250.
Paloma Picasso, youngest daughter of artist Pablo Picasso, has created a money clip and matching key chain for the discerning man. It is her and her husband’s passion for classic cars and racing that is highlighted in this clever collection named for an essential automobile part: the caliper. Fashioned in stainless steel and midnight titanium, both are original designs copyrighted by Paloma Picasso for Tiffany & Co. Buy one or both; he’ll be delighted either way.
Foursevens makes the ultimate flashlights for the man who wants to see everything clearly. These things come in remarkably handy for all your late-night adventures. The Mini ML, above, is priced right at $39, and at just 2.3 inches, fits easily on his keychain…or he can stash it in the car. But don’t let the compact size fool you–these little things are powerful! With three brightness levels, it’s a bright idea for the practical man.
Zippo lighters come in many different materials and themes, for every price point. Whether he prefers a classic windproof lighter or a torch, he’ll absolutely light up when he unwraps this little gift. Boasting a lifetime guarantee, Zippos are easily customized for a personal touch.
