Father's Day Gifts Your Dad Won't Hate

With the exception of Al Bundy, Michael Lohan, and guys who turn out to be serial killers, dads rule. But no matter how great yours is, there’s always something he could use that’ll help him continue to evolve. From the tools he shaves with, the ways his ups his golf game, to the booze he sips to relax, give your dear ol’ dad something worthwhile this Father’s Day instead of wasting money on another ugly tie you know he won’t wear.

He’ll get stereo-quality sound and you’ll save some coin. Plus, the wireless connectivity will give him the impression that he’s not a Luddite. Despite being on the low end of wireless headsets — one of our favorites is the pricey V-Moda Crossfades —  you can still connect multiple devices and take calls.






fitbit father's dayFitbit Blaze Smart Fitness Watch ($195 @ Amazon.com)

The Fitbit watch helps fitness enthusiasts to more accurately track their progress by recording all of their activities in given time durations. The low-profile fitness watch has multiple features to make working out easier and more fun. Some of these functions include a heart rate monitor and sample workout routines.





phillips shaver systemNorelco Shaver 5700 ($150 @ phillips.com)

The Norelco shaver gives users a safe, comfortable shave through updated blade technology. The razor, which works in wet or dry environments, lifts hair and then cuts for the ultimate close shave. Users can clean and lubricate the razor with the touch of a button, and the razor has up to 45 minutes of power between charges.



vornado tower fanVornado 184 Whole Room Tower Air Circulator ($113 @ Amazon.com) 

It’s not just a fan, it’s an air circulator … which is a fancy way of saying badass fan, we guess. Anyway, tower design saves space but doesn’t skimp on pushing air around a room. However, if your dad is a complainer who wants it cool at all times, keep in mind that this isn’t an air conditioner. It’s an ultra-quiet fan that transports up to 500 cubic feet of air per minute.

Arccos Golf Performance Tracking System ($300 @ Amazon.com)

If your dad’s golf game is limited to Wii golf, Arccos has developed a cool GPS-enabled system that will track shots, log stats and analytics, and give an overview of strengths and weaknesses through their proprietary sensor system. The sensors are attached to the handle of a club and only need to pair once with an Apple device. And if your pop isn’t going to use it, you can always snag it before you hit the mini-golf links.
