With Black Friday just days away I thought it would be the perfect time to share my holiday gift picks for dad.

Amazon Echo Show – @amazon

The Amazon Echo Show always dad to control every aspect of the home. This is every dads dream, a device that controls the lights and temperature ($$) and can also show you the highlights from the Patriots game. This one is high on my personal list (are you reading this Mrs. DadOffDuty).

Passage Vest – @fisherandbaker

One of my favorite brands I discovered in 2019 is Fisher & Baker.

The Passage Vest is simple and stylish and the perfect gift for any dad. Pair it with a plaid shirt or a blue Oxford for a great holiday look.

The Hip Pops Clothing – @thehippops

The Hip Pops is an independent clothing line out of California owned by a father of 3. His minimalist design is reminiscent of vintage LA street wear; think Easy E wearing a Raiders hat while driving down Crenshaw. (You can tell I’m not from LA, i think its all a Snoop & Dr. Dre video 😂) 

For an added bonus check out his podcast the Popscast for a unique perspective on parenting.

New Balance 574 – @newbalance

When I was living in Boston back in 2005 every other person was rocking these classic New Balance, fast forward 15 years and they are still relevant. The 574 are the perfect balance of comfortable sensibility and hipster chic. Amazingly perfect for the coolest dad or the clueless dad.

Crosley – Deluxe Portable Record Table – @crosleyradio

 

Music connects generation, why not give the true gift that keeps on giving , a record player. The Crosley Cruiser  record table comes with built in speakers and in a variety of colors.

(I want one just because I want to listen to Searching by Roy Ayers with that unique vinyl sounds.)
