Canary All-in-One Security
Price: $179 through June 18, 2016 (plus free overnight shipping with promo code ThePointsGuy)
Link to Buy: Canary
Dad won’t be able to relax much if he worries about home security. Even if the house has an alarm, he’d probably appreciate an always-on webcam — and the Canary is an extremely easy-to-use all-in-one solution. Open the box, plug in the 1080p HD camera (about six inches high), download and install the app to your smartphone, and select the settings you want. Want videos sent to you every time motion is detected? Need to see what’s happening right now in your home? Checking on the dog? The Canary does this by default — the camera has a 147-degree wide angle lens — though you can change the settings any time. You can also sound the 90-decibel alarm or call 911 quickly from your phone. The only real decision to make is: How much recorded video do you want to store — from 12 hours’ worth to 30 days of footage. Each option has its own price plan, from free to $300 a year.
Fitbit Blaze Health & Activity Watch
Is your dad a couch potato? Give him a Fitbit watch/bracelet and he won’t be for long.

The new Fitbit Blaze offers several new and improved features like the PurePulse heart rate gauge, connected GPS and on-screen workouts. It’s also available with three types of bands: metal links, leather and classic.
Aēsop Jet Set Kit

Help dad with the problem he may not even know he has by getting him a great after-flight rejuvenation kit. Aēsop’s kit comes with shampoos, conditioners, and body creams. While you may not be able to shower on the plane, you can definitely apply the Rind Concentrate Body Balm to refresh your skin throughout your journey.
Bamboo Smart Pen
Is your dad that guy who insists on hand writing notes and letters, even though he has a perfectly good smartphone and tablet? Trust us, he’s not alone in that department, but luckily Bamboo has recently come out with a new smart pen that allows users to write on any paper and the pressure-sensitive tip will store each stroke, up to 100 pages in its internal memory.
Bespokepost Stadium Blanket & Seat Cushion
No one actually enjoys sitting on uncomfortable metal bleacher seats at ball games. Cold weather doesn’t help matters. With Bespokepost’s portable blanket and seat cushion, made by Faribault Woolen Mill Co., pops can now cover up the dirty chairs and protect his derriere. The compact travel case also unfolds into a 100% wool blanket that’s designed to last years of attending sporting events and all the requisite beer spills that such activity entails.
Eagle Creek Pack-it Cubes
Most men lay all their clothes on the bed, and then “fold” the garments in the suitcase. The hope: that everything stays neatly stacked in the same location of the bag. Good luck with that. Packing cubes, from Eagle Creek, reduce the hassle by allowing you to put garments into different packing cubes that don’t upset the rest of your baggage. Eagle Creek makes packing especially easy with three ideal sizes (8″, 10″, and 14″ cubes). All are machine washable, made with mesh so you can see what’s inside, and come in many sizes and colors. Two-way zippers help with the compression.
We hope our recommendations help all sons and daughters find the perfect gift for Father’s Day.
