Gear your dad wants for home.
Twelve products to make home life a bit more comfortable—and exciting.
With the versatility of a machete and the chopping power of an axe, this is the perfect tool for spicing up a little weekend yard work. The rust-resistant steel blade will hold its edge for years, while the soft handle offers a solid grip.
Save this ultra-smooth scotch for special occasions. A honeyed character blends with toffee and fruit, and the finish lingers well after the first sip.
In order to not water down your Balvenie, use these stones instead of ice cubes. Made from polished soapstone, just stick them in the freezer for a few hours for a chilled evening drink.
Published in 1977, this is one of the best pieces of travel writing ever produced. It’ll make you and dad want to book a ticket to South America, stat.
With a massive 884 square inches of grilling space, the Pro Series 34 cooks enough meat to feed a small army. A precision thermostat keeps temperatures within a 15-degree range, while rugged all-terrain wheels let you drag it over just about anything.
Fill these 18-ounce copper mugs with ginger ale, vodka (we like Woody Creek Reserve), ice, and a wedge of lime—and you have the perfect weekend drink.
Compatible with all iPhones from the 5 forward, this simple, elegant aluminum charging stand is the easiest way to de-clutter a bedside table or kitchen counter.
With most speakers these days, you’ve got two options: quality sound or lack of wires. The Fi70 thankfully has both, with wireless, concert-hall-level production from two eight-inch subwoofers, two five-inch drivers, and Neodymium tweeters. Bonus: It comes in three different types of wood.
This smart alarm clock will make dad sleep a bit better. At night, a progressive red light sequence and soft sounds lull him to sleep, while in the morning, blue light gently pulls him awake. It also doubles as a smartphone charger.
The details make this pan better than the rest. The coiled stainless steel grip prevents singed hands, the octagonal shape makes pouring easy, and the ultra-polished surface ensures that pancakes never stick to the bottom.
Sure, you can dig a hole in the backyard and line it with rocks. Or you can buy this sleek fire pit. Built from A36 steel, it develops a unique patina over time and slides together more easily than anything from Ikea. At less than three square feet, it’s also easy to move.
