A bottle of spicy honey your dad can seriously put on everything. You better bee-lieve it!


amazon.com

Promising Review: “Saw this on a Food Network show and decided to try! LOVE IT! Great honey taste with just a bit of heat at the end. My husband loves ‘hot’ foods and even grows his own peppers to put on anything. He really likes this on his French toast and I like it with peanut butter. However, I just made baked beans and added a tablespoon of Mike’s Hot in addition to the brown sugar (reduced amount) and they were the BEST baked beans ever!” —Ritakc

Cooking multiple ingredients at the same time and then infusing them together to mix the flavors is something that I have never been able to do before. Keep the pan at a medium heat to always get the best cook because food cook differently and you can take your time in preparing your meal. I recommend this to pretty much anyone that likes to cook and mostly to the ones that dread it!” —Dan S

amazon.com

Helpful review: “A word of advice if you’re willing to put in the work (which you should be, since you clearly love your dad): In a Word document, type out all the statements on each page, then fill in the blanks here before you copy them all into the actual book. This way, you won’t reach a certain page and go, “I have the perfect word for this, but I already used it for a different page!” This is a great way to plan everything out to make this gift the best it can be. Such a fantastic book!” —Amazon Customer

The basic goal of Exploding Kittens is to avoid the “exploding kitten” cards, because they will knock you out of the game. Each player has a handful of cards. The players will go around in a circle drawing cards until everyone has been knocked out except for the winner. Players have action cards, like “see the future” or “shuffle” that they can play before taking a card to make things more interesting.

To play Obama Llama, players will get a rhyming prompt and will try to get their teammates to guess it without using the words on the card. It’s like Taboo but with way more rhyming and cute illustrations.

Get Exploding Kittens from Amazon for $20 or Obama Llama from Amazon for $9.79 or Walmart for $14.99.

A whisky wedge mold that will turn his double old fashioned glass into a work of art.


jet.com

Promising review: “We absolutely LOVE these whiskey wedge glasses. They are simple to use, durable, and such a hit at dinner parties and cocktail hour. The wedge stays solid for a very long time and melts at the appropriate pace so as to not water down your drink. The bourbon drinkers around here are very pleased with the water melt ratio in this glass and we have since ordered three more to add to our first purchase! Highly recommend!!” —Haley E.

A mini violin so your dad can actually play the world’s tiniest violin the next time he’s mocking you.

A smart light starter kit that connects to smart phones and tablets for the dad who is not made of money — so turn the damn lights off!


amazon.com

This kit is easy to set up and allows the user to schedule lighting, dim lights, or turn off lights even when no one is home. It also works with Alexa or Siri!

Promising review: “If you are going to do full home automation, the Lutron Caseta wireless system is 100% the way to go. Currently, the products are on the expensive side, but I have had no issues running the setup for months. The ease of installation and setup is amazingly simple. I think one of the best parts is that these switches actually IMPROVE upon the aesthetics of a home, as opposed to most smart home tech which looks out-of-place or too futuristic. Currently, I have our living room decked out with three dimmer switches and the neutral switch for the fan and I couldn’t be happier! All of my living room lights are Siri capable and my wife gets her physical switch on the wall. One of my favorite parts of the system is the customization of the neutral switch. You can choose whether or not it recognized as a light, fan, or switch. You can literally make any fan a smart fan!!” —TheOddOcelot

Get it from Amazon for $80.98.

43.

A shaving brush that hooks onto most cans of shaving cream so your pop can apply an even coat in a single motion. That means more time for playing catch, grilling, gardening, or other dad activities.

A baking set with Emoji cookie cutters your dad is gonna 😍 over.

47.

A girolle so your foodie father can turn his legendary cheese plates into the best type of bouquet — an edible one!


amazon.com

This knife cuts cheese so thin, it turns each slice into a little flower! It works best with Tete De Moine.

Promising review: “I read an article about this tradition, and I had to have one. I bought the dome, the cheese, and some 27 year aged balsamic. The instructions suggest curling at 45 degrees… So I let the cheese rest a bit after removing from the fridge. It worked perfectly, producing cheese petals that looked like carnations. Soon, our guests were producing their own curls to dip in the balsamic. As the article said, dipping these curls in balsamic is like painting rose petals red, or, as the expression goes — gilding the lily.” —Steven E. Musselman

Get it from Amazon for $32.17.

48.
