They say that one of life’s greatest gifts is watching your child become an adult. Your dad can watch your every step to adulthood, but there are plenty of things he can’t be around to see as you grow up. To ensure your father always knows how much you appreciate him and his hard work, give him these 10 best gifts to dad! The Top 10 Best Gifts to Dad:

1 – Smartphone tripod

If you know a professional photographer or vlogger who’s into video content creation, chances are they’re looking for some kind of simple stand in order to improve their smartphone pictures and videos. A three-legged smartphone tripod allows them (and other people) to take pictures or shoot short movies easily when something needs to be held still. The flexible legs allow you to place your phone horizontally or vertically.

It usually comes with an integrated spirit level for ultimate precision as well as an included quick-release mount that is compatible with most smartphones on market today. The base also has separate screw holes so it can fit just about any camera model out there, like DSLRs cameras and small point-and-shoot cameras.

2 – USB microSD card reader with adapter

So many older computers don’t have an SD slot anymore, but plenty still has USB ports. With one of these adapters, Dad won’t need to carry around a dedicated SD reader if he needs one while traveling on business trips or vacations.

At least he’ll never have to worry about running out of space again! He can use it to transfer photos from his digital camera directly onto his laptop. Or, he can load up all his favorite music and playlists onto a memory card and plug it right into his computer or sound system at home.

3 – Multi-tool flashlight

He might not wear overalls or go fishing every day anymore, but there’s no reason dad shouldn’t have all of our old tools on hand to help him fix things around the house—especially since they all come in such handy, compact packages nowadays! One of these mini multi-tools includes a few different screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, and more. That way he doesn’t need to lug around an entire toolbox on his next trip to Ikea. Afterward, maybe he could put all those tiny pieces back together for us… 😉

4 – Step stool–welder’s mask combo

Dads are always telling us how we should do stuff ourselves instead of paying others to do it for us. For example, instead of hiring professionals to mow our lawn and landscape it, we should learn how to do it ourselves. Why? Because only then will we truly appreciate what others bring to the table. What better way to learn than by making dads teach us what they know? And what better tool to start with than a step stool? Of course, if you haven’t noticed yet already, these stepladders have been given a total makeover. They’ve been redesigned to look like giant blacksmith anvils.

5 – Traditional ice axe

We didn’t know what these were until we looked it up, but we do now: An ice axe is a special pick-ax-like tool used for climbing and descending steep or icy slopes. I imagine they’re quite useful in wintery climes where there’s lots of snow, given their super cool design.

6 – Woodworking tool kit

When we were little, our dad was a jack of all trades. He did everything around our house, including patching up holes in our walls and building furniture for us. Nowadays, Dad’s hobby seems to be fixing broken iPhone screens. In both cases, he had all sorts of fun tools for whatever it is he needs to do. Just as we should learn how to do stuff ourselves, he should too!

7 – Electric chainsaw

Tree houses. Cabin furniture. Firewood. Dad’s got a lot of wood chopping to do, and these electric chainsaws are a pretty safe and efficient way for him to get it done with minimal effort.
