    39 Last-Minute Gifts Dad Will Actually Be Excited To Open

    If the holidays snuck up on you this year, have no fear. One of these gifts will be *chef's kiss* and dad will def agree.

    1. A phone camera lens kit so they can continue being the "cool dad" they are and document all of life's memories. This high-def 4-in-1 kit will come in handy when they want to take some cool nature photos or perhaps some sunset pics for their new 'gram (that you probs helped them create).

    2. heated razor set if you wanna give them the full barbershop experience from the comfort of home. It features an adjustable temperature setting and is fully waterproof. It also comes with a magnetic charging dock and two cartridge refills so they'll be set the next two times they need fresh blades.

    The magnetic charging dock wirelessly charges the razor for up to six shaves.

    Promising review: "Really nice product. The heat feels very nice on your face. It actually works pretty well. Because of the heat it gives out, you get a really nice close and comfortable shave without any nicks. It is a bit expensive, but for my skin it has worked very well when using a good gel cream." —George Z.

    3. A Sidetrak portable monitor they'll be so grateful for when it comes to tackling WFH tasks. If they're always squinting and complaining about how small their laptop screen is, adding this monitor will elevate them to CEO status. (Psst — this is also a great gift if dad is a video gamer and would appreciate a monitor they can move around the house)!

    This monitor has great picture quality with its HD, LED, and anti-glare screen. It has HDMI and USB-C ports and can work with a ton of operating systems like Mac, PC, Chrome, PS4, Xbox, Raspberry Pi, and Nintendo Switch. 

    Promising review: "This gadget has been a lifesaver! I give frequent virtual presentations and needed a lightweight extra screen that could not only move desk to desk in moments in a shared office space, but could also go in a suitcase for travel. This is PERFECT! It’s plug and play — seriously. The portability really can’t be beat! I’ve recommended it to many of my colleagues. I’m thrilled with the purchase!" —Cooking Nomad

    4. A white truffle-infused hot sauce in case they're a HUGE foodie and are never not pouring a condiment on their morning scrambled eggs (or any meal for that matter).

    5. A magnetic tool wristband so when they're fixing practically anything around the house, they can keep drill bits, nails, screws, and anything else made of metal *handy*.

    Promising review: "My husband always puts screws in his mouth and it bothers me so I bought this for him for Christmas. He used it for a project where he had to hold little screws and it worked perfectly! Ever done a project where you dropped a screw and can’t find it or it fell down a crack and have to figure out how to get it out? We most definitely have. I am excited that that will be no more! My husband was impressed with the magnetic strength and the side pocket. Worked like a charm." —JandD

    9. A waterproof phone pouch to protect their mobile device if they love doing outdoorsy activities like fishing, boating, or hiking. Their phone will stay in pristine condition and if they happens to accidentally drop it in a river, they're covered.

    10. A fill-in-the-blank book so you can give them something thoughtful and from the heart that they'll cherish for years to come.

    11. slim money clip wallet that can hold up to 12 cards and has an RFID-blocking design so no one can wirelessly steal their credit card info. If they like to travel lightly, then this wallet will be perf for them to easily stow in their pockets.

    Promising review: Even though I am not a father (does puppy father count?), I owned a dad wallet for the better part of two decades. After planning a trip to Europe, I decided that my dad wallet wasn't something I wanted to bring; I just wanted the essentials and something that could fit in any pocket if needed. Enter this wallet. Not gonna go into major details but probably my favorite feature of this wallet is how snuggly it holds your credit cards. They don't move once they're in there. This wallet went halfway around the world and back and I didn't lose a thing. Highly recommend." —Craig

    Promising review: "The Alejandro Slip On shoe is truly wonderful! My reason for purchasing these was to have a stylish and high-quality leather slip-on shoe that I could quickly put on and head out. These truly are the perfect pair, and they look very nice with jeans, shorts, and even trousers for both casual and slightly dress casual moments. These are made very well and are very well constructed and also have a high quality craftsmanship that is needed for shoes like these. I feel that they will keep their quality for many years to come and will only get better with every wear." —David P.

    31. A shiatsu massaging pillow for giving them some much needed R&R while they sit in their recliner and watch this week's golf match. No need to pay for expensive massages again. This is the gift that keeps on giving.

    33. A Serrano ham because it's the gift that keeps on giving. We started gifting this to my dad a few years ago and he absolutely LOVES it. We're a huge antipasto-loving family and he loves getting to carve it for practically weeks until we get tired of eating it (lol).

    **It comes with a holding stand and a sharp knife.**

    I love giving this to my dad each year and it is sooooo delicious. The first year we got it for him he couldn't believe it and was like a kid in a candy store. He immediately plopped it on the counter and proceeded to slice it for the entire family to enjoy. I truly cannot think of a better gift especially since he gets to enjoy it basically until it's all finished up!

    Promising review: "This is my very first purchase of a jamon in the USA. I had no idea what to expect. I'm glad I took a chance. Is simply the way it should be, Perfect! I will order over and over again and hope each one in the future will be as great as this one is. I have the feeling it will be eaten a lot faster than I expect. Thank you!" —Jeni

    This nifty shower device is made from wheat straw and food-grade silicone!

    I love this exfoliating shampoo brush so much. It really gives me the confidence that I am getting my shampoo down to my roots, and the tingly scalp massage is obviously a bonus. I also use this to gently brush my conditioner through my hair as well to ensure it's evenly coated my hair. I also carry a lot of tension in my head, so this really helps with relieving those muscles from feeling so tense. Highly recommend!

    Promising review: “I fly a lot and bought this due to my dislike of corded headphones, as either the cable line breaks during flight and/or it gets tangled up.

And I plan to use them on my PC at work for meetings.” —Marky
