Cool Gadgets for DADs only!!

Father’s Day is a special day for everyone! We celebrate this holiday on the third Sunday in June and thus it is a honor to the fathers all around the world by their children. A woman named Sonora Smart Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. Her father, Henry Jackson Smart, had raised Sonora after her mother died and she wanted him to know how special he was to her. Her father was born in June, so she chose that month to celebrate the new holiday. This day is very important so

If you’re the type of person who is planning on giving Dad a greeting card and a tie or a set of golf balls – what’s below is not meant for you.  If you think your dad deserves the best – I’ve come up with a list of gadgets that are worth consideration.

Some dads know exactly what they want.  Some are clever enough to have given you a hint or two whether in the form of a newspaper ad taped to the bathroom mirror or even an upfront suggestion that a particular item might make a great Father’s Day surprise.

1. If you’re looking out for his well being, then a Bluetooth cell-phone headset might be the ticket — or, in some locales where hands-free is the law, might keep him from getting a ticket.  I’ve just seen a slew of cool-looking headsets from companies like Jabra, Motorola, Nokia and others.  Prices run from about $50 to $200 or so — depending on features.

2. All men think that they know every way on the road…but they have to face it coz they still get lost sometimes…. The Tom Tom can be a good gift as there are excellent shortest and fastest routes available. This will result in a less frustrate journey and a good drive as well.

3. Digital cameras are always a great gift.  Go for the gold and get Dad a Cannon Digital Rebel XT.  It’s an 8 megapixel digital SLR (single lens reflex) camera and lets you change lenses on the fly.  There might be some cameras with a spec or two that are better but the new Rebel XT is one sweet package.

4. The Swiss memory 1GB knife contains the usual knife blade, screwdriver, nail file and scissors but also has a mini LED flashlight, a retractable ball-point pen and a 1GB USB memory device.  There’s even Swiss Army’s Secure-LOCK software to keep your portable data safe.

5. How about a dual purpose watch?  The Wine Watch French Wines is exactly what you might expect of a gadget with that name.  This sporty-looking watch tells time and also classifies Bordeaux, Rhône, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Alsace and Loire wines according to vintage year as: mediocre, average, good, superior or excellent.

6. And if your dad doesn’t wearing a watch—there is another that he can keep in his office or his room. It’s a NEW Projection Clock which is cool alarm clock and it projects the time onto the ceiling or wall with in a 90 degree swivel lens. Also have a snooze function, LCD digital calendar and countdown timer. Approx. 13.5cm x 8.5cm x 2.8cm. Requires 2AA batteries.

7. For the dad whose head is always in the stars I’ve found the Barska Travel Scope and Tripod.  It’s a compact, lightweight telescope with a 70mm objective lens mated to a short tube, wide-angle refractor to view objects 20 to 87 times closer than the naked eye.  It comes with two eyepieces and carrying cases for everything.

I don’t think you could go wrong giving any one of these gifts.  I know every dad will love any one of them. So go ahead and make your dad happy on this Father’s Day and make him proud on you.
