Father's Day Gifts under $50

I don't usually post anything on Saturdays, but since I had so much fun putting together a list of Mother's Day gifts for under $50, I thought I'd take a stab at a list of Father's Day gifts.



1. Wireless charger

Both my husband and I think this is a cool product that's ahead of it's time. But after more digging (i.e., reading customer reviews on Amazon), it's not as convenient as the ads make it out to be. There are two ways to charge a device. ONE, you put your device into a special sleeve, which acts as the receiver. There aren't sleeves available for every device. TWO, you plug your device into a "powercube", which acts as the receiver. There are different "power tips" for different devices. So...it's wireless, but you still need some extra equipment. The product below comes with a "powercube" and 8 "power tips", though for which devices, who knows.

2. Indestructible iPhone/phone case

This product is from my favorite case-makers, Incipio. They have lots of choices and also offer lifetime warranty on defects in materials and craftmanship under normal use. The "Destroyer" pictured below offers Incipio's "ultra-rugged" (highest level of) protection and has a removal belt clip. Tough dads need tough cases ;). P.S. If you purchase a slim cover for a touchscreen phone, purchase one with a raised lip around the front of the screen. That way when it lands screen-first, which it will inevitably do, the lip hits the floor first, not the glass screen.

3. Freezer mug


The hubby put his beer mug in the freezer to help keep his beer cold, but wouldn't it be nice to have an insulated layer to keep it cold longer? Introducing, the freezer mug! This would be great for iced coffees too ;).

4. Think Geek

Think Geek has an assortment of quirky gifts. My picks are the sword ice cube tray, Wi-Fi detector shirt, and Darth Vader USB Hub 'cause don't you hate not having enough USB ports? Oh, and speaking of geek stuff, Judy of Talking Thirty did a little review on a remote-controlled helicopter that made her husband as giddy as a 10-yr-old boy ;).


5. Mustache

Café Press has a large assortment of mustache merchandise that just cracks me up. Choose from the Mug Stache, Migrating Mustache Mouse Pad, and since I love puns, the i moustache you a question Stainless Steel Water Bottle.


6. Massage

Men secretly loves massages! Get them a "sports massage" and it won't sound as girly. Buy certificates from SpaFinder so they can choose the date, time, and location of their choice.


I was in no way compensated or contacted by any of the above named companies for this post.

To my hubby and all the fathers, Happy Father's Day!

Show some love. Leave a comment below and I'll definitely respond!
