5 Great Father's Day 2016 Gift Ideas

If you're anything like me, Father's Day may well be one of the harder shopping events of the year.  Dad probably doesn't need another tie or coffee mug, right?!  Here are 5 quick and useful Father's Day gift ideas!

1. A personalized ice cream bowl

If the dad(s) in your life are anything like my husband, this hearty ice cream bowl is something he will use...and often!  And with customization, he can legitimately claim every last scoop for himself.  32 ounce ice cream bowl for $24.98 (+shipping).  Sweet!

2. Fire Essentials Bundle ($15 off with this Father's Day special!)

If you think Dad would rather feed his mind than his waistline, this Father's Day deal is one you should definitely check out.   (And bonus--the light-weight tablet makes it easier for the two of you to watch movies together after the kids are asleep!)  Includes a Fire tablet with a 7" display, Amazon case, and Nupro screen protector.  Sold separately, this bundle costs $87.97--marked down to $62.87 for Father's Day.

3. Black & Decker NLP1800 Alligator Lopper 18-Volt Cordless Chain Saw

For the Dad who likes to keep his yard looking neat, this tool will be an unexpected treat.  Black & Decker's NLP1800 is so unique and helpful, you'll have a hard time keeping yourself from "borrowing" it.  The NLP1800 Alligator Lopper is a cordless lopper with two "alligator" jaws that grasp both sides of a small trunk or limb and gnaw through it from both sides.  No need to use a heavier (and more dangerous) chain saw for these smaller jobs around the yard, and easier on the body than manual loppers.  The cordless version is $96.98.
(There is something wrong with the listing, so I could only post a link to the B& D alligator loppers with a cord.  Compare features and reviews with the cordless version!)  All Black & Decker tools and products are $10 off of a $50 or more purchase on Amazon through June 19th.  So place your order soon!

4. The Man Pack at Pure Haven Essentials

To treat the hard-working Dad in your life, why not give him The Man Pack?!  If he gets a few nicks or cuts during his labors, the Boo Boo Stick will help them heal--quickly.  (And you can use the Boo Boo Stick on the kids' or grandkids' owies too!)  After his hard day of work, the woman he loves can soothe his aching muscles with a nice back massage using a blend of Pure Haven Essential's Jojoba Oil and Cedarwood Essential Oil--and after a stressful day, diffuse Sweet Orange Essential Oil to lift his spirits.  He can keep his beard moisturized and nourished with Pure Haven Essential's Beard Balm, containing organic sunflower seed oil, organic beeswax, organic olive oil, organic mango seed butter, organic jojoba oil, organic cocoa butter, organic grapeseed oil, and essential oils of sage and lime.  (Yum!)  Pure Haven Essential's Aftershave and Moisturizer naturally soothes razor burn and moisturizes his skin.  You will find these products at the Pure Haven Essentials website in the categories for Men's Essentials (Beard Balm & Aftershave and Moisturizer); Kid's Essentials (Boo Boo Stick); and Oil Essentials (Jojoba Oil & Sweet Orange and Cedarwood essential oils).   If you need help, let me know!  I can place your order for you.   $78.70 plus shipping and tax for the entire Man Pack

5. A Coleman 8-Person Instant Tent (14' x 10')

If you'd rather persuade Dad to get some exercise, put away his screens, put down his tools, and have some fun, this Coleman 8 person Instant Tent is a fine way to encourage him to take the whole family* into the great outdoors.  Easy to set up and take down.  Large windows for ventilation.  Room inside for 2 queen airbeds, or 8 people in sleeping bags.  You can even divide this tent into two rooms for privacy!  This sturdy tent is almost half price!  The list price is $309.99, on a whopping big sale on Amazon right now for $178.49.  What a fabulous way to get set up for your summer adventures!

*(If you've got more than 8 people in your family--buy two tents!)
