For Dad.

Dads receive two categories of gifts: things for the garage they already own three of, and consumables that vanish in a week. This list is a third category — daily-driver upgrades he would never buy himself because that would be responsible.

A hand press that pulls espresso at the campsite, a flask that keeps coffee stupidly hot through the second meeting, a pocket gadget that doubles as a power bank. All under $60, all guaranteed to be mentioned to at least one coworker.
