Fathers Day 2008!
Fathers Day is only 6 days away, can you believe it? If you don’t know what you’re going to get your dad for Fathers Day, to say thank you for putting up with all of your crap over the years (yes I’m talking to you) I have some ideas for you.
Top 5 Fathers Day Gadgets
1. If your dad, or husband for that matter is anything like mine, he has tools in the garage and lots of them. This usually means that while he adores his garage stuff there are probably rakes and gloves and stuff everywhere. A perfect fix to get your dad organized is the Garden Accessory & Tool Rack from The Container Store. Constructed of solid steel with our platinum epoxy finish, the heavy-duty Garden Accessory & Tool Rack provides compact storage of long-handled tools like rakes and shovels. It has a convenient removable basket for smaller tools like spades and clippers. It’s also perfect for the laundry room, too, for mops, brooms and cleaning supplies, pretty much anywhere there’s likely to be stuff laying around the house.
2. Dad’s love to lounge around, and why shouldn’t they? Lots of dad’s work all week and then come home on the weekend only to find that they have to clean the attic, garage, yard, what have you. It’s a tiring job, but someone has to do it, and you can bet you kids aren’t! Here is the answer to his prayers. Pawley’s Island Deluxe Cotton Rope Hammock from is a way to take your dad from insane to island pretty quickly, and you don’t even need tree’s to hold it up! This hammock is crafted of quality natural cotton rope, and solid oak spreaders with zinc-plated hardware. This beautiful hammock splendid place to relax by the pool, lake, or beach; you’ll enjoy your outdoor space for years to come. This hammock has a weight capacity up to 450 pounds. Right now you can get $5 off orders of $60 or more with Outdoor Decor!
3. What man doesn’t enjoy a nice cold one every now and then, or maybe you know, several times a night, 
especially our hard working dads! Chefs has this amazing Heineken BeerTender. Krups and Heineken have teamed up to create the ultimate beer-drinking experience at home. Compatible with Heineken’s DraughtKeg, this counter-top beer-tap system features a silent cooling system that delivers constant, perfectly chilled beer. Just place a pre-cooled DraughtKeg into the machine, connect with the spout, close the lid and it’s ready to go. The BeerTender keeps the keg at an ideal temperature of 41 F and in the most optimal condition for a period of three weeks after the first beer has been drawn. Automatically pressurizes the keg to ensure beer remains fresh for up to 30 days. You can also get half-off standard shipping for Father’s Day at Chefs!
4. Grilling is super good fun, especially in the summer time. The only draw back with a fancy propane grill is the mobility factor. What if you want to grill somewhere else? Camping, at the beach or even inside? The Beach-Side Grill from Sur La Table is an excellent fix for this. Italian ingenuity led to the creation of this grill, a cooking grid that lets you cook in your fireplace or over a campfire. This traditional, cast iron grill provides a special Tuscan accent whether you grill vegetables, fish or poultry. The freestanding grill adjusts to three different cooking heights.
5. What goes along better with a grill than a how to book on how to grill? Grilling might seem easy at first thought but trust
me, with timing and flavor it can get boring fast. My favorite Food Network man grill master Bobby Flay has a great book out, Bobby Flay’s Grill It! In his first four-color grilling book ever, Bobby eschews anything remotely cheffy in favor of a back-to-basics bible for the way Americans shop and cook. Organized by ingredient, Bobby Flay’s Grill It! provides basic recipes for ingredients that are in your refrigerator right now along with tantalizing variations that will have you looking at zucchini in a whole new way. Get it now at Barnes & Noble.
