Dads can be the easiest to shop for but don't let that be an excuse to get lazy with it.  We still have needs and wants that should be acknowledged.  To make it easy on you we have given you the list...NO EXCUSES!

 

Val Townsend and Tony P's Top 5 Gifts for Dads:

1. Bills/Sabres (or favorite team) gear:  Dads love to show off their fandom and this is an opportunity to get him something nice.  A nice Bills pullover/sweatshirt/jacket or some tailgate gear will make him really happy.  Cool man cave memorabilia falls into this category as well.  It is always well received.

 2. Virtual Reality Headset:  If you haven't seen one of these or used one you will just need to trust me on this.  This is the coolest gift you can give this year and it will be the hit of Christmas morning.  Only thing to look out for is that some are made only for specific phones, but you should be able to find one for the smartphone Dad has.  If your Dad still has a flip phone then there is no help for you...get him a tie.

3. Electronics:  Its no secret, Dads love electronics.  Judging on the age of your father, the latest Blu-Ray action flick or hot Xbox game will do the trick.  Maybe your Dad still uses a VCR...get him a Blu-Ray player.  They are inexpensive now and will take his viewing to the next level.

4. Tools:  Now I'm not saying to just buy a hammer and put a bow on it.  A tool or tool set that he doesn't have.  Something ratcheting is always a plus.  A hot gift this year is a magnetic wristband that holds nails, screws, bits and whatever else he wants on it.

5.  Alcohol:  Every Dad has a favorite drink...get it for him.  Make it fun and get the accessory pack that includes the glasses or whatever.  It's easy and he'll love it.  Bonus is you will probably get to drink some too so it's a win-win.
