2020 has without a doubt been the most challenging year for the entire world but amongst these challenges, we need to celebrate the special moments and special people in our lives. Whether it's your dad, grandfather, uncle, brother, mentor or just that special guy who made a difference in your life celebrate them!

Dads and Grads Gift Guide

Celebrate those special men in your life whether they're officially a dad, grand-dad, uncle, brother, mentor or just someone you look up to. Of course we can't forget the grads of 2020, they really need to be celebrated this year to make up for the challenges of the year. Let's celebrate and show the love and give them a gift they'll love.

We've got a little something for all interests for guys and for grads whether they're a high school grad, university grad and for different stages of their next adventures in life.

Weighted Blankets

Whether it's for dad, high school grad going off to college or a university grad moving into a new place a weighted blanket is always a fabulous gift choice.

For hot sleepers Gravity even has an amazing cooling weighted blanket. We can say amazing because we have one. The dad in our home loves his weighted blanket. Okay, he might not say love but let's just say he sleeps with his every night and even said how much better he sleeps. Trust us that's a BIG compliment!

The weighted blankets are even Cleo approved as you can see in the photo of her on the Gravity Cooling Weighted Blanket.

Gotham Steel Smokeless Electric Grill

We have the larger version of this smokeless grill and we have all used it oh so many times. It's great for burgers, bacon, eggs, veggies and more. Anything you can do on a BBQ you can do on this grill and even better we don't have to worry about what the the weather is like before we turn on this grill.

At the time we published this guide the larger one is sold out so this is the smaller one, perfect for apartments and more.

Zojirushi VE® Hybrid Water Boiler & Warmer 

We think everyone should have one of these Zojirushi water boilers/warmers. It's far more than a kettle people, drinkable hot water is always ready with one of these. We've tried a few different brands over the years and our Zojirushi one is the only one to stand the test of time - 10 years.

It's still going strong but another brand that we won't mention that we had went kaput a while ago and it only lasted 3 years! So we just had to replace it with a Zojirushi. They sent us this one but we would have bought one. Why do we need two? That's how often we use them, you'd be surprised. Once you have one or two you never want to go without one.

Now we have this new hybrid 169 oz one, the biggest one we've ever had and it's awesome. Seriously this water boiler/warmer is perfect for grads for their dorm room, apartment, new home and hey even for dads! Trust me you'll find lots of ways to use it. Hot chocolate, instant soups, tea, other hot drinks and more.

About the hybrid Zojirushi Water Boiler/Warmer:

This energy efficient VE® Hybrid Water Boiler & Warmer utilizes vacuum insulation technology (like travel mugs) to keep water hot with very little electricity. It features the new Quick Temp mode, which significantly reduces the heating time by reaching 160°F, 175°F, or 195°F keep warm temperatures without reaching a boil.

Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless Earbud Headphones

Everyone in our family wants these earbuds and we only have one pair! Time to get dad or that grad his own pair so they can stop stealing mine!

Enjoy amazing listening clarity, hassle-free connection via Bluetooth 5.0 and low latency for perfect audio and video sync whether you’re wanting to listen to music or use comfortable, wireless earbud headphones for the smartphone you get all this and more with the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless Earbud Headphones. 

The Best Bamboo Fabric Gifts for Dad -

Everyone loves their Cariloha bamboo clothes in our house from dad to mom to our 2019 grad. You can't go wrong with these super soft clothes that have moisture-wicking properties, are cooling and oh so much more. Seriously we love these clothes so these are great gifts from dad to the grad and hey feel free to grab something for yourself too!

Gravity Bamboo Sheets

Bamboo sheets are for everyone! Seriously, dad, grads and everyone should have a set of bamboo sheets. Be warned though that once they sleep on these Gravity Bamboo Sheets they won't want any other sheets.

That's okay because they are so well made, inexpensive compared to other quality bamboo sheets, moisture-wicking, cooling and more. These bamboo sheets also have deep pockets on the fitted sheets along with elastic corner bands on it preventing shifting or pulling during use. You might want to get more than one set, keep one set for yourself.

Whisky Stones and Glasses Set

For the dad or grad (of legal drinking age of course) who loves their occasional drink of whisky. This classy set of whisky stones and glasses in a beautiful box makes for a great gift.

Convoy Boots that Match Every Hat He Wears

We can thank dad any day of the year, but this Father’s Day get him some new shoes that will last him all year. We all know that special guy (as there are many) who works hard year-round and he needs a shoe that will keep up. These Convoy Boots from Lugz are perfect for our favorite hardworking guys. 

Print Photos for Generations to Come 

Pictures are worth a thousand words… right?! So, the big question is, how many of those priceless pictures do you have hard copies of? In today’s world, more and more photos are being saved digitally only.

I often ask myself, what happens when technology changes years down the road? What will our grandchildren have to look back on? Will they be able to pull out a shoebox full of old pictures to show to their children? Why not print pictures that you would want to be shared for years to come.  

This pocket printer is perfect for dads and grads!

Keep moving with a Seated Elliptical Machine

What Is A Seated Elliptical?

It’s exactly what it sounds like, an elliptical machine that you use while you are sitting. This can be great for people who have trouble standing while exercising. Elliptical machines simulate the act of running, biking and climbing. I love it because I have feet and knee issues so standing even while using a standard elliptical machine is challenging as my legs get sore when standing even if they’re moving. 

You got it another one great for students sitting at their desks, dad, granddad sitting outside, at their desk anywhere you can think of but gets their legs moving.

Home Decor 

Your college bound high school grads may want some fabulous decor for their dorm room and/or apartment and for those college grads if they're moving to a new place to this is one place they can check out for some cool home decor. Better yet give them a housewarming/welcome to your dorm gift!

Secure Video and Photo Storage

Make sure those special Father's Day or Graduation Day photos are never lost to an accident with your phone. Back them up quickly and easily and store them securely online.

Anti Theft Backpack

Put safety first with this great anti-theft backpack and security camera. Great for those Grads heading off on their own for the first time!

Personalized Dog Tags

Dad can always keep you close with these incredible personalized gifts made just for him.

Comfortable and Versatile Men's Sneakers

Keep is casual for dad this year with the most comfortable sneakers around.

Hover-1 Foldable Electric Scooter 

Your grad can get around that new huge campus with ease when this handy fold-down electric scooter.

High Back Ergonomic Bonded VIVA Office Swivel Chair

Students spend a lot of time sitting at their desks. Dad may work an office job all day. Get them the best chair for their comfort and health.

Weber Kettle Grill

Is dad the DIY-er? Does he love to grill? It's a win-win for the whole family with this great Weber grill and gear to fix up the home.

Digital Drawing Tablets 

Your grad may be a creative genius, and with this great grad gift, they can show it off.

    I have several folks on my gift list for summer birthdays and the electric scooter might be something that would work.
