Samsung Propel Pro on AT&T
Because Dad Doesn’t Care About The iPhone
That iPhone 10D-S or Blackberry Super-Duper Curve-imus-Prime are fine, but dad just wants to text you (he just learned this year) and check his email. Get him a sturdy, simple, and capable phone like the Samsung Propel Pro from AT&T with its familiar Windows Mobile interface, Wi-Fi support, 3 megapixel camera, large screen, and comfortable QWERTY keyboard. Dad doesn’t do touch-screen.
Esquire The Handbook of Style: A Man’s Guide to Looking Good
Because Dad Taught You How To Tie A Tie
Think back to that first school event you had to wear a tie to. Remember who taught you to tie that tie? It was probably dad, and among a variety of other things, he probably taught you your first thing about style - whether you liked it or not. Say thanks by giving him an illustrated guide to style, written in Esquire’s signature humorous style. The diagrams will make sense, the book is a quick read, and he’ll appreciate having a book to refer to now, instead of his son.

I'm a big fan of Kaenon performance sunglasses, and usually buy them as gifts for people who enjoy the outdoors in any capacity. I also like Pirate Rackham's rum cake. Both of these items ship out directly to the recepient, just google them.
