If your Dad is a budding mixologist then the Bitters Recipe Book may be the perfect addition to his home bar. A fascination with mixed cocktails is sweeping the bar scene and this book details inspiring recipes and libations that will undoubtedly make your Dad the hippest party-thrower on the block.

Basic Fitness Tracker

Is your dad getting a little paunchy? Why not get him the Basis Carbon Steel Edition to track his daily activities? With the Basis, he can monitor how much he run, cycles or sleeps (yes - even that is an activity). He'll then receive detailed feedback about his habits including everything from calories burned to minutes of deep sleep.

Mophie Space Pack

Your dad will love the Mophie Space Pack since it doubles the battery life of his iPhone and doubles the data storage for his iPhone up to 32 gigabytes. A companion app integrates seamlessly with iTunes and photo gallery, allowing dad to access and manage any file he may have downloaded from an email, including everything from text documents to movies.

Uplo

Is your dad a photo junkie? With Uplo, he can order framed or unframed prints of his own photography, or choose from millions of other images to purchase. Even better, he can now sell his prized shots by simply creating galleries of photos and naming his own price. Dad will earn a commission for every print sold while building a fan base of like-minded photo enthusiasts. He can also create password-protected galleries to share images only with family and friends.

LaCie Fuel

Are your parents arguing over what episodes of "Downton Abbey" or "Games of Thrones" to download because their iPad only has a measly 120 GB of space? With 2TB of storage, the sandwich-size LaCie Fuel will eliminate any bickering. The Fuel can stream more than 500 movies or 160,000 photos to up to five devices simultaneously.
