Around the World Beer BucketWith Mother's Day, birthdays, graduations and weddings, sometimes Father's Day, which is this Sunday, can get lost in the shuffle.  But Dads deserve their day, and the Gift Gurus have pulled together a great selection of last minute gifts to treat your dad to a super Sunday. 

Being a globe trotting Gift Guru, I would love to take my dad on a trip around the world for Father's Day. But since I'm running short on time (and money), this Around the World Beer Bucket will have do the trick instead.

This manly steel gift basket comes filled with everything a beer lover needs: six imported brews (from Stella to Newcastle) and some great salty snacks, because what's a beer without bar snacks? I have a feeling most lager-loving dads will appreciate this worldly gift, even if it doesn't include a passport.

Heads up, procrastinators!  Order this basket up until Friday, June 13th 7PM EDT and you can be assured it will arrive in time for Father's Day.

Old School Shave for Dad

June 3, 2008
Posted by: Dan T.

John Allan's Ultimate Grooming BundleI'm about as manly as they come: I love sports, gadgets and pranks. But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate good grooming, especially if someone else is doing it for me. So to continue with the Four "G's" of Father's Day gifts, I chose the Hot Lather Shave as the go-to grooming gift for Dad - whether he's a Guy's Guy or a Metro Man. The old-school treatment consists of steamed towels, a good foamy lather and a shave using a good ol' straight-blade razor.

Pair that with the all inclusive John Allan's Ultimate Grooming Bundle for Dad to take home, and you've got one bang-up gift. The kit comes with everything he needs to keep up his clean-cut look at home plus a gift certificate for their one-of-a kind spa services. Watch me get the full treatment here.

Photo Converters for Dad

June 2, 2008
Posted by: Dan T.

35mm-to-digital Film ConverterWhen it comes to Father’s Day, we know that not all Dads are alike. So where do you start when thinking about getting him a great gift?  There are a few interests that dads seem to universally enjoy.  And conveniently they all start with the letter “G”!- Gadgets, Grilling, Golf and Grooming.  This week, I'll be taking a look at the "4Gs" of Father's Day and serving up some cool gifts for Dad, starting with Gadgets.

It's no secret that guys love their gadgets. And Father's Day is the perfect opportunity to hook dad up with a new electronic toy that will keep him busy for a while, like one of this year's hottest gadgets — the 35mm-to-digital Film Converter. It does exactly what the name suggests — it takes old 35 mm negatives (or slides) and converts them into digital images. And since many dads are the unofficial family historian, this converter will allow all those classic "pre-digital" shots to become part of the family archive.

Along these lines, the Print-to-Digital Converter does basically the same thing, but coverts old physical prints of pictures into digital images. Either way, Dad will be really excited to get one of these gadgets this Father's Day.
