Let Loose
ViewSonic Mini Portable LED Projector

No matter where I go, this projector can go with me in my back pocket. (Literally!) Anyone with limited space and a travelling heart like mine will love this projector.

PlayStation 5

When it's time to relax, there's nothing better than some next-gen gaming. Sure, these new consoles are harder to find than Waldo, but if you really want to treat your dad or grad to some down time fun, get them a PS5.

Ring Fit Adventure

Everyone loves Nintendo Switch, so why not give them the Ring Fit to keep them healthy and strong? It combines exercise moves with gaming adventures for fun any fitness fan will love. Even me.

Roku Express

Help your dad or grad cut the cable cord with this streaming device from Roku that lets you watch thousands of free and premium shows. I cut the cord a while back and haven't missed cable for a second!

Get to Work

Galaxy Book Pro 360

Whether you’re shopping for a dad dealing with noisy kids or a grad living with loud roommates, the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 comes with a background noise removal filter to hide the ruckus during meetings. It makes WFH work even better.

Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

Tablet users like me will love this combo keyboard/mouse set. It's got a sculpted mouse, cushioned palmrest, and keys that are so comfortable you almost forget you're typing. Almost.

Executive Leather Messenger Bag

If you want a bag with looks AND quality, look no further than this amazing executive leather messenger bag from Waterfield Designs. I got mine years ago and it's still in fantastic shape. You can fit all you need in there, and then some, and you'll still look hip and stylish heading to or working at the office.

Smoothly do whatever you need to do — from streaming with minimal lag time, to split-second responsive gaming, to major multitasking and more — all with the latest 11th Gen Core processor that’s Intel® Evo-certified, so you know it works on a premium platform. And with 1TB of storage, it has everything you need to push yourself forward.

Neewer 10-inch Ring Light

Ring lights aren't just for Insta influencers anymore; Dad will appreciate looking good in staff meetings and Zoom calls with the folks with this easy to set up and use ring light from Neewer. Now if you could just talk him into a little foundation and eyebrow grooming.

Amazon Echo Dot

Besides sporting a very cool spherical look these days, the Echo Dot is a smart speaker your Dad or grad shouldn't be without. I use mine for everything from getting the daily news to turning off the lights at night!

Samsung Galaxy S21 5G

There are lots of phones on the market but none of them stack up to the S21. 5G, 8K video, dual zoom lens, a 108MP sensor for crazy high resolution ... I could go on and on. I adore my Samsung and so will your loved one!

Save the Planet
Larq Self-Cleaning Water Bottle

Okay, so water bottles are technically all 'green' by their nature. The geek in me, though, is tickled by the built-in UV light that cleans and sanitizes the inner surfaces for clean, fresh water all the time. Worth. Every. Penny.

Get Together Duo Bluetooth Speakers

Who better than Bob Marley's descendents to create speakers? House of Marley uses bamboo, recyclable aluminum, and other Earth-kind materials to produce speakers that truly rock.

Anker Portable Solar Charger

Why charge with electricity when you can grab this portable solar charger to get the job done? We love this for its reasonable price and stainless steel eyeholes that let you attach it to almost anything, anywhere.

Solar Handheld Flashlight

This flashlight is a Jill of all trades: It's solar-powered, water resistant, and even has emergency survival tools (think: seat belt cutter and glass window breaker). I'm getting one for my grad this year.

PowerKnit USB-C to USB-C Cable

Help them reduce their carbon footprint while charging with this PVC-free USB-C cable made from 100% recycled plastic bottles and aluminum. They'll even get a pre-paid, recycled bag to send their old cable in for recycling, free of charge.
