If you haven’t started shopping yet, don’t panic! There’s still plenty of time to find the perfect present, and we’re here to provide you with some gift ideas that can assist you. Be sure to revisit this guide frequently, as we’ll be adding new items to it.
reMarkable 2 paper tablet
Let’s give Dad one of the best productivity tools that is currently on the market. It’s the reMarkable 2 paper tablet. This e-ink device puts a digital notetaking device and e-reader in a sleek form factor that looks as great as it performs. The reMarkable 2 offers a paper-like writing experience with its advanced E Ink technology, making it feel natural and comfortable to use. It can be used to take notes, annotate documents, and even sketch with precision, giving Dad a digital tool that replicates the tactile sensation of writing on paper.
The reMarkable 2 promotes productivity and organization. With its premium build quality, long battery life, intuitive interface, and cloud-syncing capabilities, dads can easily organize their notes, documents, and ideas in one place. It eliminates the need for multiple notebooks and clutter, making it a practical and efficient choice.
This is what our own Kenneth Woodham thought after reviewing the reMarkable 2 a few months ago:
I’m smitten with the reMarkable 2 paper tablet. It’s a beautifully designed device with a utilitarian purpose. I know I haven’t done it justice. I really enjoy using it and do so daily now. I’ll admit there was some sticker shock but it’s comparable to other devices of this size. Some will say it doesn’t let me check emails, browse the web, or load apps while others do, but to them, I’d say you’re missing the point. This isn’t an e-ink media consumption device. The reMarkable 2 is an e-ink notebook that also allows you to read documents and eBooks without all the noise. It’s superb.

heat it bug bite zapper
If your Dad gets ambushed by mosquitos and other biting insects every time he tries to enjoy time in the great outdoors, this gift should make him really happy. It might not be a glamorous gift, but it will make him feel better whenever he gets an itchy painful bug bite. The heat it is a small adapter that plugs into the charging port of an iPhone or Android phone and provides 117° – 126°F of heat directly to the bug bite. According to the heat it website:
The nerves in the skin react to this heat impulse. According to the current state of research, it is assumed that this reduces the transmission of stimuli. The itching signal can no longer be transmitted properly and the need to scratch disappears. In order to achieve this itching-relieving effect on the skin nerves, a short heat pain is necessary. This medically proven active principle of hyperthermia can be used for mosquito, horsefly, bee and wasp bites.
I also checked the Amazon heat it product page which has over 1870 reviews of which 75% are 5 star reviews. Dad can keep this little gadget on his keychain so he’ll always be prepared to zap a bug bite as soon as it happens.
Price: $39.95

Gutter Sense Gutter Cleaning Tool
The Gutter Sense Gutter Cleaning tool will make Dad happy for two reasons. First of all, it will save him time and secondly, it makes cleaning gutters easier. Usually, the chore of cleaning the gutters brings with it the task of dragging out an extension ladder, but with the Gutter Sense, Dad will keep his feet firmly on the ground. This tool fits on a pole (not included) and is like a pair of salad tongs that can grab leaves and other accumulated material in the gutter.
Our own Bob Patterson did an in-depth Gutter Sense Gutter Cleaning tool review and this is what he had to say about it:
The Gutter Sense is wonderfully simple to operate, but it does take a few minutes of practice. You’ll probably need to work around some of those support rods in your gutter, and spend a little time getting used to positioning the tongs properly. Fortunately, the lightweight unit is easy to maneuver, and the tongs respond with a simple light pull.
Gutter Sense is proudly made in the USA and all components and labor are sourced in the Chicago area.
