Sonic Foamer / Via amazon.com

Slight vibrations work to create a foam head that’ll make every sip taste as delicious and aromatic as the first.

Promising Review: “Got it for my dad for his birthday. He is a fan of beer so I said, ‘what the heck, this thing would entice him.’ Turns out he loves it and it actually works. It’s a fun little gadget. He uses it twice for every beer to deliver the foam and flavor he needs.” — Brett Nelson

—Sarah Wainschel

2.

Tile Mate Key/Phone/Anything Finder for that dad who keeps misplacing his things:


Tile Mate / Via amazon.com

Never be late for work searching for your keys again!

Promising Review: “I love that if you lose your item and anyone else with a Tile walks within range of it, you get a notification! That is why I bought it! I taped this Tile to the underside of my bike in case it ever gets stolen. It’s been great. Also the Tile is so small!” — Kate The Kritic

Get it on Amazon for $24.99.

—Michael Blackmon

3.

Digital Tape Measure for the handy dad who could use some new tools:


eTape16 / Via amazon.com

This thing is guaranteed to have a better memory than you do.

Promising Review: “I got this as a gift for my grandfather. He loves building and working on projects, but had difficulty remembering and seeing the measurements on a standard tape measure. This is a really accurate and easy-to-read tape measure, and it’s really easy to use. I love that it saves the measurements so you can go back and look at them again. He loves this tape measure and I would recommend it to anyone who loves working on and fixing things.” — Ciara Williams

Get it on Amazon for $23.82.

4.

Behmor Connected Temperature Control Coffee Maker for the dad who loves his coffee:


Behmor

Start it through the app so the coffee is ready when you are!

Promising Review: “This is the best drip coffee maker that I have used. The ability to change the pre-soak and temperature settings allow the coffee connoisseur to really tailor the cup. I like the open design. It’s an expensive coffee maker, but if you want a quick, no-hassle drip coffee in the morning before work, it’s worth the cost.” — Randy

Get it on Amazon for $177.39.

Gourmia / Via amazon.com

Somehow, making tea just got easier.

Promising Review: “We originally got this to combat the cost of our daughter’s obsession with Teavana, and it’s really worked! It performs exactly as promised: It steeps and brews (and even keeps warm) up to four cups of loose-leaf tea automatically, lets you select the strength, and from there takes care of the rest.” — Amazon Customer

Get it on Amazon for $99.99.

—Christian Torres, Facebook

6.

Nuheara Iqbuds Intelligent Wireless Earbuds for the dad who love his music and can’t hear what you’re saying:

Speech amplification and noise control set these ear buds apart. These aren’t your daddy’s ear buds… but they can be.

Promising Review: “I can seamlessly move between music and conversation without doing a thing! It feels pretty groundbreaking to have your favourite tune in your ear and chat with those around you without missing a single beat. The sound quality is top notch, the noise cancellation is decent (music mode is best for this), and the boost in conversation volume and clarity in loud areas is incredible. These have become a must at every social event.” — Lewis

Get them on Amazon for $279.99.

—Andrew Ziegler

7.

Orbit Wallet for the dad who wants to be ready for anything.

Honeywell

Set home and away temperature preferences (thanks to geofencing, it knows when you’re home) and control everything through the app!

Promising Review: “Very simple to set up and monitor. The app is simple as well. I got it figuring that I could be a little more extreme with our temperature settings knowing I could always turn the system on or off remotely. The money that we should save by doing that should pay for this thing pretty quickly.

It was nice to be overseas and know that the pipes weren’t going to freeze.” — tallhapa

—Michelle Frasca, Facebook

11.

BBQ Thermometer for the dad who loves to BBQ but who also loves to relax:

Throw it on the grill and monitor the temperature from the couch!

Promising Review: “Made to measure the temperature on eight different types of meat. You can also set it according to personal preference (rare, medium, medium well, well done, etc.). This devise is wireless and very convenient, for the grill AND the oven. It’s very light weight. The screen is easy to read and it’s very easy to operate.” — Vickie

Get it on Amazon for $14.90.

Amazon

Start with the Echo and branch out with many Echo-compatible products!

Promising Review: “Being 100% honest, I thought this was a niche product at first and dismissed it for quite a while…until my foray into making a smart home. Alexa is your best, most convenient friend and she can change your life. Yes, she is a bit expensive (heck, I had to save money for a month and a half to get it), but it is worth it!” — Devlin Jay

Get it on Amazon for $139.99.

—Molly Baker and Samantha Nicole, Facebook

It monitors your driving and can give advice to improve your habits. For instance, it will beep (gently) at you when you break or accelerate too hard. Furthermore, after you register your device, you have access to an online dashboard that shows the trips you’ve taken. You can see them displayed on the webpage and learn from your driving habits.” — Jarrod S
