Father’s Day is right around the corner so it’s time to start thinking about finding the perfect gift that he will love. Here are some of our favorite picks this year:
For the guy who loves cigars, we recommend giving him a box of Saint Luis Rey Gen2 from Altadis USA. This sleek black box is filled with great tasting premium Honduran cigars with a dark Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper made with Honduran and Nicaraguan filler tobacco. The Saint Luis Rey brand has been around for more than 70 years so you know he is in for a special smoke. As for the cigars, they have a complex combination of both fruit and leather that finishes off with a rich caramel chocolate taste.
If he has seemingly everything he needs, he can always use the Cyntur JumperPack mini so he will never be left stranded. This compact device can be easily stored inside a car (trunk, backseat or tucked away in a side compartment), boat, truck or even a snowmobile in the event of a battery malfunction. The lithium-ion device can easily and quickly jump start vehicles up to eight cylinders. Even better, it serves as a mobile device charger and flashlight when not being used to jump start a vehicle.
Stylish guys will love the RLX Ball Boy Jacket in French Navy available on TrendySports that will keep him warm and dry all year long. We love the comfortable zip-front, Polo logo on the front and back, mock neck and zip pockets that will keep all of his handheld items secured. TrendySports is an online boutique that carries high end active wear brands (think yoga, tennis, golf and running) for men and women that aren’t widely distributed in the U.S. Other brands on the site include Adidas by Stella McCartney, Lacoste and Onzie.
Traveling guys will love Jorno’s Bluetooth Keyboard. If he has as much difficult texting as we do, he will love this keyboard, which is super portable, unfolding into a full keyboard that can easily be paired up with an iPhone, iPad, Android or other Bluetooth device. The sleek gunmetal plated device is ultra sleek and provides the convenience and functionality needed from any mobile workspace. A vegan leather protective case is also included that also functions as atable stand to hold the device in either portrait or landscape orientation for optimal viewing.
For the health conscious guy, be sure to check out Scosche’s Rhythm+ heart rate monitor arm band, which is a great gift for runners, cyclists, hikers, skiers, or anyone who loves to enjoy a rigorous fitness routine. The comfortable sweat and waterproof device, which is compatible with smartphones that feature Bluetooth Smart or ANT+ heart rate data so he can work out up to 100 feet away, uses a patented optical sensor technology that provides the most accurate monitoring and measurement possible.
If he loves listening to music just as much as we do, he will love Naim Audio’s Mu-so wireless music system. This powerful device is brought to you by the same audio company that is found in Bentley Motor vehicles. He can now enjoy the same clarity right at home. This high performance sound system delivers exceptional quality with six custom speaker drivers powered by 450 watts. You can easily connect to the device using Bluetooth, AirPlay or Spotify Connect. The elegant speaker is the perfect addition to any living room and can be customized for a more personal look with optional interchangeable colored speaker grills available in red, blue and orange.
What guy doesn’t love to golf? If your guy is like ours, he will love the OptiShot Golf 2, a compact golf simulator that is so simple to use because, let’s face it, everyone could use a tip or two while hitting off the tee. This unit features analytic and shot tracer technology in a user-friendly interface (it works with every club in his bag). The “golf pro in a box” works using 16 high speed infrared sensors calibrated to track his personal speed, hand path and club plane before during and after contact. The information is then transmitted to his Mac or Windows computer in real time after each actual swing. In play mode, he can choose from a comprehensive library that displays 3D images of world class golf courses with multiple camera views. When he switches to practice mode, the PinPoint will track his progress. We love the OptiShot Live feature that allows him to play 18 holes against other golfers (from virtually anywhere in the world) without ever having to leave home.
To protect his new iPhone 6 Plus, we recommendMoshi's Kameleon case. This sleek ultra thin case is not your typical iPhone cover. Instead of providing just protection, this chic scratch resistant unit delivers functionality with the addition of an aluminum kickstand so he can use it in both portrait and landscape modes for hands-free video viewing. It’s super lightweight as well and comes with a soft microfiber lining to cushion the phone from any unexpected drops or falls.
Another fun gift for the audio lover is Skullcandy’s Grind headphones, which were released just last month. The comfortable fitting earphones are exceptionally functional as they feature TapTech, a user-friendly button on the outside of the ear cup which will allow him to take calls while listening to music with the simply flip of a switch. All he has to do is tap the left ear cup and answer an incoming call or play/pause/skip tunes from his current playlist.
