Ostrichpillow - The Original Napping Pillow

It might make you laugh when you first see it worn, but trust us when we say this pillow is a game changer. Whether it's for a plane ride, a road trip, a quick nap during the day, or just to take a break from the never-ending stimuli of being a Dad, this immersive cozy experience is like no other. Getting him this may just change him forever, and for the better. “What’s a neck pillow?” He will ask, like he completely forgot what life was like before his Ostrich Pillow. You will remind him, and he will sigh and ask himself, “How did I ever travel without it?”
Reasons we love it:
Block out light and distractions with the cocoon-like pillow that helps to provide him absolute comfort to disconnect from the world.
A dreamy soft high quality combination of viscose and elastomer with the next generation coated micro bead filling helps him drift calmly and easily into relaxation mode.
He can use it as a cozy huggable lounge pillow great for travel (or just to hug), or he can slip on the cocoon at any time to take a break from his hectic Dad schedule.
Using it as a tool to help with meditative moments and to take a break from a loud, bright, and busy environment can really help with Dad’s mental health and energy levels throughout the day.
If this doesn’t seem like the best fit for him, check out their other self care products that include ergonomic solutions to everyday items for on the road and at home comfort. Their hot and cold eye mask, go neck pillow and heatbag are just some of the products they have that Dad is sure to appreciate.

The Tushy Bidet Attachment

Whoever the Dad you’re buying for is, this bidet attachment is an awesome gift he probably wasn’t expecting but would definitely enjoy. The Tushy Spa 3.0 is our top choice within their product line, with features like water pressure control, a Cleaning SmartSpray™ nozzle, bamboo or metal knobs, and a sleek design. It’s not only functional but also a bathroom accessory that once he tries, he won’t be able to live without. It cleans with warm or cool fresh water, the same as your sink or shower (not the bowl!) and although not necessary, you can buy their bamboo bum towels to pat dry. If you’re still skeptical, let us remind you that this household item can save you hundreds of dollars over time on toilet paper, it helps with hygiene, prevents UTIs and hemorrhoids among other health problems, it saves trees, looks nice, and it’s a gift you can enjoy as well!
Reasons we love it:
Soothing temperature control from cool to warm water for a comfortable clean with optimized pressure and angle control.
Universal fit on almost any toilet with adjustable seat fasteners for a secure fit and a 6-foot long hot water connection to reach the sink.
Slim design with Patented Buildup Resistant Design for a sleek profile that seamlessly fits into his home
Easy to install in 10.5 minutes or less. He’ll make it a competition.
6 different color options, with 3 limited edition colorways so there’s no way you can’t find one that doesn't suit his favorite bathroom.

reMarkable - The only tablet that feels like paper

Tablets are recommended as a gift for Dad so often that we had to include one in this list. But getting just any tablet isn’t going to do it for him, and we know that. That’s why we think reMarkable is an interesting and unique choice because of the many useful and helpful features he’s sure to love. We love how the combination of technology and the physical act of writing combine to create a whole new experience, but not everyone will appreciate it. This is a sophisticated gift for a sophisticated man who is ready to ditch paper for good..
reMarkable bridges the gap between pen and paper, and digital devices to simulate a paper-like writing and reading experience. Convert handwritten notes into text, read, write, draw, annotate, save, and share files to Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive easily. It’s a tool that facilitates efficiency, brain dumping, organization, and productivity with features you can’t get in any other tablet.
Reasons we love it:
Easily access notes from your laptop or phone, where they’re always readily available to review and reuse.
Convert handwritten notes to text documents seamlessly.
Comfortably read PDFs or ebooks for hours without backlight, glare, or eye strain.
2 weeks of battery life. Yes please!
Is he always complaining about Zoom? Turn the paper tablet into a digital whiteboard and write, draw, and demonstrate tricky concepts live by sharing the screen in video meetings.
Free express shipping to Canada within 2-7 business days. Hooray! We love a last minute gift that doesn’t suck.

Lumio’s Sculpture-Lamp-Speaker

Teno is a beautifully crafted bowl structure that, when cracked open, reveals warm light and a powerful speaker controlled through intuitive touch. With a $75,000 funding goal on Kickstarter, Teno raised the attention of 1,269 backers who in total pledged $396,019 to support its creation.
There’s excitement and interest for a reason - Teno blends intuitive technology with the refinement of a handcrafted object, resulting in a refreshing take on how we design and experience the technology used in our daily lives. And if that isn’t enough for him to be impressed, then we should add that it also won two “Best of the Best” Red Dot Awards for Innovative Product and Audio Design. Available in lava black and Arctic white color finishes, this speaker/art piece draws inspiration from the Japanese art of kintsugi, while combining beauty with thoughtful technology.
Reasons we love it:
Interesting design choices such as having to crack it open to turn it on, and controlling it with intuitive finger gestures makes the experience feel unique and magical.
If he's particular about his sound quality, you don’t have to worry. Big sound in a small package (5 ¼” (13.3cm) diameter x 2 ¾” (7cm) height) delivers deep bass and crystal clear treble.
Unlike most tech designed to be obsolete soon after its release, Teno is made with a textured natural sand that only gets more beautiful over time.
The light has different settings so he can create the perfect ambiance for whatever occasion.
