1. Take dad camping

Thermacell Backpacker Mosquito Repeller

Thermacell Backpacker Mosquito Repeller

Whether you're out in the wilderness with dad or simply enjoying a backyard barbecue, use this Thermacell Backpacker Mosquito Repeller. It's heat-activated and creates a 15-foot area of protection against mosquitos. It comes with four unscented repellent mats that last up to four hours each, and if you forget to start a timer, they change color to indicate when they need to be replaced.

Promising review: This is so much better than the ones that use butane cartridges, simply because those cartridges run out so fast. We use ours at our pool patio and the fuel can lasts forever. Even if I forget and leave it on overnight, it's still got plenty of fuel left in the can for many many more nights of use. ... For traveling we still use the portable Thermacell that uses cartridges, but at the patio there's no comparison - this one is the best, hands down.

2. Dads love their chores

Sun Joe SPX3000 2030 Max PSI 1.76 GPM 14.5-Amp Electric High Pressure Washer

Sun Joe SPX3000 2030 Max PSI 1.76 GPM 14.5-Amp Electric High Pressure Washer

The neat thing about being a dad is you get to play with cool toys, like this electric high-pressure washer. Let dad create designs in cars, fences and patios as he cleans away years of dirt and grime. It comes with two removable detergent tanks, a total stop system that shuts off the pump when dad isn't pulling the trigger and generates up to 2030 PSI.

Promising review: This thing is great but insanely addictive. ... Car wash at 4am? You bet. Hose out the garage and all down the driveway? Consider it done. Neighbors dog won't stop barking? Aim and squeeze. ... I'm a ruthless power washing machine now. It has become a part of me. I dream about it every night. ... 10/10 recommend.

3. Listen to golden oldies

Sony WHXB900N Noise-Canceling Headphones

Sony WHXB900N Noise-Canceling Headphones

Who says dad needs to listen to his tunes with an old-school record player? We know he's gone digital, so now he needs noise-canceling headphones to get both feet into the 21st century. These noise-canceling Sony headphones get up to 30 hours of battery life, have touch sensor controls and bump up the bass.

Promising review: These are hands down the best phones I've owned. The assistant help (Google in my case) is intuitive. The volume control is goofy like most phones but is also much better than anything else I've used. These also have the ability to not just turn off the noise canceling but to amplify the ambient noise. This is very useful on a flight. Sony has been a leader in these kinds of commercial audio technologies. They continue to not disappoint.

Is dad a gear head? If he loves buying and flipping cars, he'll love this Whizzy Wheel decal and sticker remover. It comes with a drill adapter to seamlessly remove sun-baked vinyl stickers, car wrappings, pinstriping and stickers. It's made of soft rubber, so you get the stickers but leave your vehicle's paint intact.

Promising review: I started removing the decals from my van using a razor ... Then I used a hot air gun and a plastic putty knife ... Then I used the Whizzy Wheel. Oh my goodness, in 15 minutes I had all the lettering removed from both sides of the van, in 5 more the rear doors were clean. There was some residue, but it took less than 5 minutes to remove all of it. This thing is great!

Promising review: It's wide and easy to read, the color matches my new toolbox, and I can keep this one there for when I need it, in case my everyday one gets lost. I had one before and left it in a store, but this one is much better. The button to retract it works great and it all works so smooth. It's a bit on the heavy side, but that's to be expected since the measure is wider than most. I love it.

I keep it on speeds 1 or 2 so I don’t accidentally grind too far down. I get several uses before I have to recharge it. Very happy with this purchase!
