This is a gift that is perfect for any dad. Why? Because one thing all dads like is a nice cold beer. All he needs to do is put the metal icicle in the freezer and then slide it into his beer bottle. The result is an always cool beer and a really cool Father’s Day gift.

If your dad is more adventurous, the beer-making kit by the Brooklyn Brew Shop is a nice addition to the beer chiller. He can make his own beer, add any flavor he likes and cool it with the Chiller when it is ready. This guarantees the freshest beer he would ever taste… and no more complaints about its temperature or quality.

All dads like to be in control. This Father’s Day, give Dad the control he desires in the form of the Logitech Harmony Universal Remote. With one touch of the Harmony Remote, he will be able to dim the lights, turn on the TV, start a DVD or play some music. Dad can even personalize the list of his favorite channels so they are one tap away. The cons? The fight over the remote control is utterly lost, and Dad is the ultimate winner. The pros? This will be one of his favorite Father’s Day gifts ever.

If Dad is into gadgets, this is the gift for him. The UP wristband and iPhone app is a system that tracks how you sleep, move and eat. Dad will be able to know how many calories he consumed for dinner or lost while golfing with his buddies. If he likes catnapping on the couch, it can also wake him up at the optimal time (around 26.5 minutes) after he falls asleep. The wristband also keeps track of his sleep at night. It will remind him if he is being inactive for too long and help him set future goals so he can feel his best.

So, if the next time you see Dad he is in a much better shape, it will be totally thanks to you… and the UP wristband.

The UP system is available on amazon.com

Well, I have to confess something. I picked the Handpresso Maker as a gift idea because it is actually one of the items on the top of my wishlist.

I am lost without coffee. I love it, and I must have at least two cups a day, otherwise things could get a little ugly. And the idea of an esspresso on the go is like music to my ears… and the ears of my loved ones. With the Auto Esspresso Maker, this lifesaving drink is ready in just two minutes, and you can enjoy it anywhere you go – camping, vacations or while sitting in traffic.
