Very few coffee mugs couple the power of hypnotic suggestion with the drudgery of housework – until now. With the fun Yes Dear Mugs from Uncommon Goods, Dad will slowly be hypnotized by the black and white swirling pattern inside the mug. Then, when fully entranced, you can ask him to clean the garage, paint the kitchen, buy you a new car… and his only response will be “Yes, Dear.”
Well, it could work, right?

The nice thing about the Car Cooler/Warmer from AutoAnything is that not only will it keep drinks and food cold on long road trips, but it also will food warm for potlucks, holiday meals, and even from take-out. I’ve used a similar model on long road trips throughout Arizona, Nevada and California, and they really work great!

Knowing what the forecast is for the day is important in many situations for Dad: camping, golfing, family outings, sporting events, and so on. It isn’t as simple as looking up at the sky – many times you need to know what the weather will be in a few hours, or the next day. And the Handheld Weather Forecaster is perfect for the job. It makes a nice, practical gift.

When at the beach, I’ve always hated that moment when you want to go play in the water, but you’re apprehensive leaving your valuables behind hidden in your shoe (or cooler, or towel, or wherever). Finally there’s a great solution – the Yelpie. Store everything you want safe in this easy to carry lockbox, and frolic in the waves without worry. If someone grabs the Yelpie without entering your personal PIN number, a 90 decibel alarm sounds that will be sure to deter the thief. What a great idea!

The Eco Kettle makes it easy to boil only the amount of water you actually need, so you can save energy, save water and save time, making it better for the planet… and you still get to have a great cup of tea, soup, or whatever. The Eco Kettle reservoir holds 1.5 litres of water ready for use, while the measuring button allows any quantity from a single cupful to the full capacity to be released into a separate chamber for boiling. Which means it’s a lot easier to control the amount of water you need, every time you boil.
Every barbeque aficionado would love one of these. Put the steak on the grill, go inside and watch the game, and get beeped when they are cooking the way you want. Perfect!
