Father's Day Gift Ideas: Café Press, SwissMemory, and the Diaper Dude

June 4, 2007

dad and daughter at the beachFather’s Day is right around the corner and I’ve been talking to the kids about gift ideas for their daddy. I like to be creative with my gifts and give him something that the kids have truly created. Café Press online is a great place to create your own masterpiece for Father’s Day. You can take your child’s artwork, scan it, and have it printed on a shirt, apron, mug, cap or a number of other custom products. It makes for a unique, one-of-a kind gift that your husband will cherish. You can also search their marketplace for shirts and other products designed by Café Press’s thousands of users.

Most dads like gadgets, so another idea for Father’s Day is the Swiss Army SwissMemory USB multitool by Victorinox, maker of the original Swiss Army Knife. This cool gadget combines a pocketknife, USB 2.0 flash drive in varying sizes up to 2GB, and a variety of other devices, including laser pointers, flashlights, and even MP3 players. You can buy SwissMemory tools at a variety of stores, or order them online direct from Victorinox.

You can always give a gift to save Dad from the indignity of carrying around a less-than-manly diaper bag. The messenger-style Diaper Dude bag comes in a variety of masculine colors and urban-inspired prints and patterns, and has all the pockets and compartments he’ll need to tote baby’s supplies around in style.
