Father's Day only comes around once a year, and it's the perfect time to show the dads in your life what they mean to you. We know how difficult it can be to shop for these types of occasions, so we wanted to put together a list of gift ideas based on what we're planning to get our dads this year (or what we're hoping to get ourselves). Hopefully we can spark some ideas for what you can gift your dad this year, too.
Ego Power+ Self-Propelled Lawn Mower LM2102SP (batteries and charger included) - $499 ($200 off)
Editor-In-Chief, Greg Migliore: "I did a lot of research before purchasing this lawn mower. It consistently rates at or near the top of most reviewers’ lists for best electric lawn mowers, and it’s a decent value for the capability. Wirecutter, for example, lists the LM2102SP as its the second-best pick among electric lawn mowers, but it’s the same thing as the top pick, with fewer features. You won’t miss them, and this one’s considerably cheaper.
Ego’s LM2102SP is a self-propelled electric lawn mower that’s highly capable, has a strong battery life and is attractive to boot. I was pleasantly surprised by the LM2102SP’s cutting power. It’s better than the venerable gas models that I gave away. I can also cut the front and back on a single charge -- the 56-volt battery delivers on the promise of 60 minutes of run time. Other cool things: It’s super easy to raise and lower the deck, depending on how short you want your grass, and the self-propelled power is adjustable so you can slow down in tight places. If you’re looking to upgrade to an electric mower for Father’s Day, this is a solid pick."
Jetboil Flash Cooking System - $124.95
Senior Producer, Chris McGraw: "I’ve done a few cross country road trips in my car, and nothing gets rid of a crappy night’s sleep like a strong cup of coffee in the morning. Sometimes the campsite is nowhere near a coffee shop, so boiling your own water and making your own pour-over is the best (and only) option. That’s where the Jetboil Flash Cooking System comes in. It can boil water in under two minutes so you have caffeine in your veins as quickly as possible without having to build a fire. It also works great if your dinner is a dehydrated meal.

Blackstone 1550 On The Go Combo with Wheels - $449.99
Production Manager, Eddie Sabatini: "This a great gift idea for dads who love to cook outdoors. The Blackstone on-the-go tailgater combo is portable and features a 17" griddle and a removable 17" grill box with cast-iron grates. Great for grilling up fish, burgers, chicken, steaks, and veggies on the grill box, and searing up some hash browns, bacon, and eggs on the griddle plate. You can also use the direct burner to cook with Dutch ovens, stockpots, and skillets."
Amazon Fire TV 43" 4-Series 4K UHD - $259.99 (30% off)
Production Manager, Eddie Sabatini: "I love gifting tech when possible because I know my father loves tech. If someone on your shopping list is in the market for a TV this 4K, 43-inch Amazon Fire TV is worth looking at, especially since it’s currently over $100 off."
GOOLOO 4000A Peak Car Jump Starter - $99.99 (41% off)
