Cup-of-Jo Gift Guide Part #5: Your Awesome Dad Who Makes the Best Family Lunches and Always Has a Good Book Recommendation.

A classic record to listen to (and display on the bookshelf), $5 to $30.

A personalized calendar with all his favorite family photos, $29.99.

A genius handmade iPod dock that naturally amplifies sound, simply because it's made of solid wood, $85. (So smart.)

Lobel's Meat Bible because you love his home-cooked meals, $27.

A print of his beloved Iceland (or New York City or all sorts of rad things...), $20.

Manly shower gel that relaxes muscles and leaves skin smooth, $18.

Dave's Insanity Sauce, $7.99, and a dare. (P.S. This is so hot that it was banned from the National Fiery Food Show.)

Literary Lites bathroom matchboxes, since you know he'd laugh.

P.S. More gifts for dads...

  26. I love this post! Such a cute and great idea. You included so many cute, affordable, and unique ideas! I totally love the personalized calendar. My grandfather just passed away a year ago and I think my father would really love to look at vintage pictures of his family. Very cool! <3

  27. sarah, warn your friend! :) you can only have like the teeniest drop on the end of a fork (no joke). my friends did a contest once where they each had to have a tiny tiny bit on the end of a fork and then see who could wait longest before reaching for a glass of water. they lasted like 30 seconds. it's that insane! :)

    ReplyDelete

  28. sara, i want to hear your husband's story :)

    ReplyDelete

  29. these are all excellent ideas!

    ReplyDelete

  30. Love these gift ideas - my dad's always the easiest to shop for. :) Simon & Garfunkel are amazing, and what a good dock for an iPod!

  31. joanna, where is the horse print from? it is so beautiful, reminds me of my grandma. i don't know if its just me, but i didn't see the link???

    ReplyDelete

  32. the meat bible would have been such a great idea for my dad, but if you look at Amazon, it got terrible reviews.

    ReplyDelete

  33. My dad's name is Dave and he loves hot sauce so much I am not sure if he still has taste buds -- I'm sure he will love some Insanity Sauce (or at least get a kick out of the label)! Thanks for the recommend :)

    ReplyDelete

  34. that ipod dock is the coolest!

    ReplyDelete

  35. Lots of these would be good for my dad too... who makes the best toasted sandwiches in the world and warms up your car for you on frosty mornings.

  36. My dad always says he doesn't want anything for Christmas but I always force gifts upon him. I am already halfway through personalising a calendar with photos of my brother and I through the years. Thanks for posting this!

    ReplyDelete

  37. Manliness if often judged in my family by the level of sauce hotness one has in his spice cupboard (And yes, you have to have a cupboard dedicated to spices & sauces to even be considered for admittance to the manly contest). I think this Insanity Sauce might be just what my Pops needs to beat my undefeated brother. Thanks for the tip!

    ReplyDelete

  38. Not only a great list for a dad - I'm totally getting the calendar for my mom, who asked for "simple things, like fruit juice." ARGH, haha!
