gifts to make dad’s life easier

With Father's Day around the corner, how about a gift that will make his life easier? We've come up with a few ideas for just that, but please leave a comment to tell us what simple tool would complete the list.

*A car gps so he always knows where he is and where he's going.

*Some useful gear from a great company like Patagonia for his summer adventures. We really like the Sunshade shirt, hiking socks, and the tech belt, which can be used as a hitch or a bottle opener.

*The Solio universal charger will charge up all manner of gadgets as long as the sun's out.

*A knife and tool sharpener.

*And for fun, the Kettle Chips Create a Chip Kit to help him concoct his most perfect flavored chip.
