Dads seem to forget their keys, wallet, or the TV remote on a regular basis. While the new and improved Tile Mate won’t enhance their memory, it’ll make finding stuff a lot easier. The Tile is small, light, and inconspicuous. Tapping “Find” on the phone will track the keys or whichever object the Tile is attached to. If the Tile is within the Bluetooth’s 150-foot coverage, it will emit a loud tune to alert you of its location.

Worn to a baseball game or a Sunday barbeque, this cap scores a homerun–even when paired with the years-old frazzled shirt and faded-to-white jeans that dads still see as "perfectly fine."

It’s a comprehensive pack of hot sauce-concocting components. It’s a one-of-a-kind gift for family and friends. The kit is proudly made in the USA.
A couple more bottles would’ve made the kit perfect.
Let dads make their sauce and eat it too. The kit comes with an abundance of ingredients and equipment to produce up to seven (3 glass and 4 plastic-squeezable) bottles of hot sauce. The ingredients include Ancho Pasilla, Chipotle and Habanero peppers, and a packet of 100% Ghost Peppers to turn up the heat. The peppers are all-natural, organic, GMO-free, and of the heirloom (from seeds passed down at least 50 years through generations) variety. There are full-color, illustrated recipe cards with a Scoville (unit of measurement for spiciness and pungency) scale chart to adjust the level of heat, and handy sticker labels for the bottles. Refill pepper packs are easily available.
It has a sturdy, polished design that’ll look good in any kitchen. The cold brew method yields a smoother and more flavorful coffee concentrate. It disassembles for easy washing and storage.
It’s larger than most coffee makers.
It’s an excellent Father’s Day present for the more discerning coffeeholic Dads. Cold-brewing uses time, rather than heat, to draw out the essence from the coffee grounds. The perforated Rainmaker distributes water evenly throughout the coffee grounds. Prolonged soaking in cold water for 12 to 24 hours releases only the most aromatic flavors to produce a refined and full-bodied extract. The cold brew concentrate is less bitter and stays fresh much longer than heat-brewed coffee. The flip switch empties the brewing container while the reusable stainless-steel mesh filter keeps sediments off the carafe. Dilute the extract with hot or cold water, ice, or milk. The carafe can be sealed to store the coffee extract in the refrigerator for up to two weeks without losing its flavor and freshness.
