Since I am no expert on what to get dad for Father’s Day, I went straight to the source and asked my husband to share some ideas for fabulous Father’s Day gifts that dad is sure to love. Check out this dad’s suggestions. Happy shopping!
*****************************************************************************
My wife claims that I’m impossible to shop for. I’m sure most wives claim the same for their husbands, but I can’t argue with Jen on this point. What can I say, I’m a “techie” with a short attention span.
There’s a pretty steady supply of incoming and outgoing packages from our household. Thanks to the addition of TheSuburbanMom blog, there are days it looks like a shipping depot around here. I love gadgets and often order new “toys” to play with. Some things I order immediately go back once they arrive – not living up to their hype. Others stay a while longer, eventually ending up on eBay. Sometimes I even turn a profit thanks to a good deal on the original purchase. Few items make the cut and end up as keepers.
Here are some of my favorite purchases and gifts from over the years that have not been returned or re-sold.

“Chumby takes your favorite parts of the internet and delivers them to you in a friendly, always-on, always-fresh format. It’s a window into your internet life that lives outside your desktop, so content like weather, news, celebrity gossip, podcasts, music, and more has a place to play away from your world of documents and spreadsheets. Just plug in your chumby, connect to your wireless network, and use your computer to create a lineup of favorites from over 1,500 apps in more than 30 categories, with new ones arriving all the time. Then let your chumby do its thing streaming everything you like, from sports scores to stock quotes, from video clips to interactive games, from photos to trivia.
where does a chumby belong?
By your bed: Fall asleep to a favorite internet music station; wake up to a zen gong, a news podcast, or Pandora Radio.
In the kitchen: Consult your Google Calendar in the morning, check the weather, and cook to streaming internet music.
On your desk: Watch your photos stream by, follow your friends on Facebook or Twitter, or get alerted to that craigslist find you’ve been waiting for.”

When in doubt, gift certificates are never a bad idea. I’m a big fan of Amazon since they sell pretty much everything. You can even print-out, email, or mail any of their gift certificates. Great options when you need something last minute. |
