Father\u2019s Day is today! Aaaaaah! A homemade card is\u2020delightful but let\u2019s put our heads together\u00a0and come up with a cool gift to go with it. I love when magazines suggest BBQ sauce as the\u00a0perfect present for Dad. SO bizarre, right? Would you ever give your mother pancake mix\u00a0wrapped up with a bow? I didn\u2019t think so. Here are a few items I found on the internet that I think\u00a0will be a big hit:<\/p>\n

\u25cf Fitbit Charge HR (click here: http:\/\/bit.ly\/1xuAtQE<\/a> ) This particular wristband includes a\u00a0heart rate monitor, tracks his workout history and has caller ID and a watch! Awesome,\u00a0huh? It\u2019s a bit pricier than the other versions, but worth it, in my opinion.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Mitchell Bat Company \u00ae click here: http:\/\/bit.ly\/1dVgTH9<\/a> ) Sports paraphernalia on the\u00a0walls as decor can be very, very bad. However, it can also be tastefully done! Do not get\u00a0it twisted fellas, I am not suggesting hanging this over the fireplace, or anything drastic\u037e\u00a0but, these hand painted bats really do become pieces of art. Perfect for an office or man\u00a0cave. You have to check it out.<\/p>\n

\"Father's-Day-2015\"<\/a>\u25cf Hammock (click here: http:\/\/bit.ly\/1BBfCjE<\/a> ) Lounging is a hobby fine-tuned\u00a0by the\u00a0majority of father\u2019s out there. What? It\u2019s true. This beautiful hammock positioned under\u00a0the shade of a tree in the back yard is like a little slice of heaven. Assemble it and\u00a0surprise him with the newspaper and a cool drink.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Polaroid Cube (click here: http:\/\/bit.ly\/1d6sFxx<\/a> ) The cheaper alternative to the GoPro! I\u00a0have never seen one in person, nor do I know anyone with it, BUT, I think for a trendy\u00a0item it\u2019s the way to go. It is magnetic so it sticks to any metal surface. I am sure that it\u00a0will find its way onto a golf club in no time flat. Our family will be subject to endless\u00a0footage of putting videos for months to come…<\/p>\n
