Step away from the tie rack. What Dad really wants for Father’s Day...


Father’s Day is this Sunday and Parenting Magazine wants to help you think beyond the tie and the tool kit. 

They’ve got some pretty good suggestions for the modern Dad:


• ION iCade. It brings old-school gaming into the future. Slip your iPad into the vintage-looking arcade unit and download some classics like Asteroids and Centipedes. $100 at Radio Shack. 

• Smartphone wallet. These bifold and trifold gems will hold Dad’s phone, business cards, cash and more and start around $10 at Walmart.

• Soapstone ice cubes. A new trend for whiskey lovers, these prehistoric looking black cubes are stored in the freezer and will chill Dad’s whiskey without watering it down. They’re about $20 on Amazon.

If you think Dad really does want a tie, you could go high-tech with that too. The QR Tie comes in several patterns and colors – and has your dad’s unique QR code printed on the back. He can choose where his code directs people when scanned. It can display his business card, personal website, and even use it to direct the scanner to his dating profile. It’s $31.95 at Zazzle.com.
