Mom's Ice Cream Shovel

Save

A string of tiny lights that turns any beard into a Christmas tree. The accessory that wins EVERY December photo.

Save

A compass, saw, fire starter, whistle, first-aid supplies, and two hundred other tools packed into a book-sized case. You will probably never need it. And that is exactly why you'll sleep better keeping it in your trunk.

Save

Writes, levels, measures, drives screws, pops bottles, and works touchscreens—nine tools right in your shirt pocket. Wearing it turns any dad into a hardware store secret agent.

Save

A long spring-loaded fork that grabs the pickle from the bottom of the jar without dunking your fingers in vinegar. The problem nobody admits to having, solved with class.

Save

Mints in a tin with a diagnosis included: for people who never remember anything. Bought for the joke, kept for the flavor.

Save

A pen made of magnetic pieces that breaks down and snaps into a thousand shapes while pretending to listen in a meeting. It actually writes, but nobody buys it for that.

Save

Dual-sided design: one side fixes the dull edge and the other gives it a razor-sharp finish. Sharpening is oddly therapeutic, plus you'll finally realize your kitchen knives were just crushing things through brute force for years.

Save

A tiny HD camera that goes where no human eye was ever meant to go: inside your ear. It hooks up to your phone, and suddenly the whole family wants a look. Equal parts gross and fascinating.

Save

Nine granite rocks that chill your drink without diluting a single drop of flavor, complete with tongs and a velvet pouch. For the dad who insists ice ruins good bourbon—now backed by science.
