Macaroni Dad's Annual Gift Guide, Part 2

By Eric Cohen December 1, 2015
I've received quite a few comments about how much guys hate stuff... but love gear! So here are a few more pieces of gear to consider for holiday gifts. Like before, the products were supplied by the brands, but only because I thought they were cool in the first place. (Except the Qalo, Joyce bought it for me as a gift).

First up is a simple stocking stuffer from Qalo. These silicone rings are perfect for active dads. Whether activity is changing sparkplugs, rock climbing, hunting, or lifting weights, these rings are built to perform and be safe. Here's what happened to Jimmy Fallon when he had a ring injury...

I shot the video at about 10AM, it's now 1 in the afternoon and my Ventureheat base layer has been on the whole time and feels great! The coldest I've ever felt in my entire life was at a pro football game. It was about 40 degrees and I've never felt so cold. I would have killed someone for this base layer that day. Just sayin'.

Last week my wife asked me what I wanted for the holidays. I said "nothing" I have all the gear I need. If your guy is like me, the Cairn Gift Box could be the perfect solution. I can always use another "buff", the compass is neat and there was also some lip balm. And I have no idea what they'll put in there next month. 

And when I told my wife I had all that I needed, I also let her know I need some time to use the gear I have. Honestly, who doesn't need more time? 

Happy holidays!
