Gifts for all dads, even the ones that say they "don't need anything."
The game is fairly simple. All you have to do is move a "batter" to home plate and then roll the dice. Whatever you roll determines if you hit a single, got out, or hit a home run. Plus, the scoreboard is dry-erase so you can stay on top of the game. One, two, three strikes you're out!
Promising review: "This game is well-made, easy to learn, and fun to play! I love that everyone in my family can play it with ease. While it doesn't replace our time at the fields — it is great family fun!" —Jen

Promising review: "This is now a staple for my kitchen. How I cooked without it before, I'll never know. It makes the best vinaigrette ever, quick pan sauces for pork, and is an unexpected zip in dozens of dishes. Does it come in gallons? I have given it a gift several times, and everyone gets hooked." —Martha Ronemus

Promising review: "I bought four of these chargers as gifts for three iPhones and one Samsung Galaxy. It's been a few months now and everyone really likes their chargers. The favorite feature is being able to lean the phone and charge it while it's 'standing' so the screen is easily viewed. It does charge through the phone case. It has a classy cloth-type cover that looks nice on a desk or nightstand and keeps your phone from slipping. It's a nice upscale charger." —Lo Ko

I've been eyeing this weighted blanked from this woman-founded business for years now, and I finally got my hands on one. And let me tell you that it is amazing. I will warn you, it's not as soft and cozy as a regular blanket, but the weight itself is actually really comforting on your body. This blanket is made from organic cotton. The weight on the body can stimulate the productions of serotonin (which makes you happy), reduces cortisol (which makes you stressed), and increases melatonin (which helps you get to sleep). I use it when I'm just relaxing on the couch watching TV and very much enjoy it. Plus, when I'm not using it, I drape it over the back of the couch, and it looks super nice.
Promising review: "Worth every penny! I have the hardest time falling asleep especially with everything going on — so I got this blanket to try and help calm my anxiety. Within two nights I was able to fall asleep and best of all stay asleep all night. I haven’t been able to do that...ever. I was worried about the investment, but I wish I would’ve bought this blanket a long time ago — you can’t put a price on good sleep and relaxation!" —Char G.

Promising review: "I got this as a gift for my husband. He is a movie-lover and has seen most of these movies by himself at one point or another. He's always trying to get me to watch movies with him, and I thought this would be a perfect way for me to do so. He loved this, and it was by far his favorite gift. We have already started with watching and scratching off two movies. This is a good excuse for us to sit down together, after the kids are asleep and have a little date night. Words honestly can't describe how much I love this gift." —Ashley

Promising review: "My dad LOVED it. I mean what do you give to someone who is turning 80? So, I gave it to him, and he read the whole thing while everyone else was chatting away. I could see his face, (a guy who rarely smiles) and could see his lips begin to curl. His eyes were fixed on the pages. every now and then he would smile and chuckle. I asked him if he liked it and he said with his Spanish accent, 'I'm gonna take it to my grave!' Deep." —Purring Kitty

Promising review: "My Always pan is going to be my new favorite cooking ware. It's super versatile and absolutely beautiful.

Makes you want to cook more delicious meals all day long!" —Celyn V.

The create includes a personalized collapsible stainless steel pizza peel, four pizza grilling stones, a two-sided pizza roller, pizza cutter, 2 pounds of Tony Gemignani’s artisanal pizza dough, and pizza seasoning.
Promising review: "I first got my husband a Man Crate last year for Father's Day. It went over so well, I decided to make it an annual thing. This year, I decided on the pizza grilling box, and it was an awesome choice! It's not even a week after Father's Day, and we've grilled pizza twice. My husband absolutely loves it and to him, it was the perfect box for US. This is something he can do for the two of us, and it's not just about him or to make him happy. That's one of his favorite things about this box. We haven't tried any of the recipes in the book yet, but they are certainly on our list! :)" —Ami

My dad has always loved taking photos. When I was growing up, he would take all the photos he took and put them in albums. But now since photos are digital, all of the albums have been sitting in storage. So, we decided last year to try Legacybox to make some of the photos digital. We went through all the old photos we had and choose our favorites to converted to digital. We had such a fun time going through all the photos and reminiscing on all the good times. Plus, the whole process was super easy. The box came empty and then we just organized the photos and labeled them, put them in the box and sent the box back. Then about a month later, we got the photos back and a digital copy of them. You can also get everything on a USB or DVD. I highly recommend getting one if you have tons of photos in a basement or storage unit somewhere that you want to give a second life.

Promising review: "I love this decanter! It arrived on time and in one piece. It's very light and feels like it could break easily. But it looks amazing and will hold a good amount of alcohol. I was able to pour an entire 750-ml bottle into it with no problem. It also comes with a funnel which is very helpful. It's a really fun piece of functional art. It makes a great addition to any office." —Hannah

Promising review: "For the man who loves breakfast sandwiches but hates the time they take to make, this seemed like a no-brainer for my dad. I bought it as a gift for him. I was a little worried, reading through the reviews, but he's used it a number of times now and he loves it! He said he just needed to get used to the settings, but now he's even more of a breakfast sandwich pro than he was before!" —Sarah S

I think I hit a home run with this one. I wish it was just a little bigger, but overall it's pretty awesome. We may need another design soon!!!" —casey

Promising review: "BEST BEST BEST item ever!! I can't believe how much I love this kitchen countertop appliance. I use this on average once a day, maybe more. It looks beautiful, and you can pretty much put anything in there. Chicken, french fries, steak, roast, you name it; and all without the grease. You can even cook hot dogs; not the most healthy but they come out as you cooked them on the grill. Reheating food comes out much better in this air fryer than in a microwave. The microwave either overcooks or makes things soggy and the food just never tastes the same but not in the air fryer!! The food comes out great! Gotta try it!" —Kathleen

I actually got this frame for my dad a few years ago for Christmas because, as I've already mentioned, he's the photo taker in my family. Since he loves taking pictures so much, I thought this would be great for him, and I was right (see the cute pic of the two of us above!). It was super easy to set up and connects to WiFi. It then comes with an email address where you can send the photos you want it to rotate through. My parents keep it running all the time. It's a nice way to actually see all the photos you have without them taking up all the walls in your home.
Promising review: "I can't keep staring at it! As all the memories of the kids and my husband and I go by. It's so much fun to enjoy everything we have done together! This is by far the best thing I have ever purchased. With the kids grown and gone, having them sending pictures directly to the frame so we can see what they are doing makes it fresh and fun as well. It's worth every penny." —Cori S

However, it was very well packaged and came in perfect condition. It is a really beautiful decanter and anybody that is a wine drinker would love to have this. I am so glad that I decided to purchase. It is larger than I thought it was going to be as well, which is always a nice surprise." —Kaila Knies

This 12.5 oz cup chills all beverages except carbonated ones. You fill it with water and put it in the freezer for 12 hours before using it. Plus, it's dishwasher-safe!
Promising review: "This was a gift to me, so I wasn't sure what to expect from it. I've used it countless times to chill room temperature water (and occasionally coffee) and it works like a charm every time! The biggest down side is the amount of liquid it can chill at once. It doesn't hold an entire water bottle, so I end up doing as much will fit, then pour it back into the water bottle, then do it again. This works better than I expected!" —C1

Promising review: "These claws are just what you need to shred pork, chicken, beef, or other items. The points are sharp, narrow, long, and work well as a pair. It's much more efficient and quicker than using two forks. Even when I buy 'pulled pork' from Trader Joe's, and it's already 'pulled' this is an excellent tool for really shredding it properly. I thought I might have been a little extravagant in ordering this, but now I realize it is very useful beyond shredding. For example, you can hold a watermelon with one hand/claw as you cut with the other hand." —J. Renfrow
