"The Noble brand of handcrafted wares has maple syrup down. This medium amber grade starts off as Quebecois sugar, then crosses the border to Tuthilltown where it's matured in charred American oak barrels with a bit of raw Tuthilltown bourbon. Bourbon and maple syrup: a beautiful marriage." Per Food52.

At $29 (plus shipping) for a 450ml bottle, it is an affordable luxury. Buy now through Food52.


For the Flask Lover: Metal Travel Shot Glasses

These metal shot glasses come 4 to a set and sit neatly in a leather sleeve. Lightweight, easy to carry yet does the job brilliantly. 

Perfect for Dad to enjoy a few splash of whiskey or the like with friends around the camp fire, at a cool football game or a concert. 

And at only $7.20 (and free shipping with Amazon Prime), you might be able to splurge on a nice flask or Dad's drink of choice to use with the glasses. Buy now - Kirkkerland Metal Shot Glasses.

For the Music Lover: powerbeats2 wireless Earphones

I have these and they are fantastic. I normally do not like ear bud type headphones as they do not stay in my ear and just make my ears feel weird. But these go over your ear so they can sort of just sit in front of your ear. Very comfortable. And they are by beats so you know the sound quality is great. The extra bonus is that these are wireless! Great for working out, train rides, plane travel and so on. Who needs extra cords getting in the way? The one down side is that you cannot plug into an airplane's entertainment system. 

A pair of these would make anyone happy, so why not upgrade Dad's headphones this Father's Day? 

They come in 5 different colors, I have the black and red which is great. The other newer colors are also very cool. I'm loving the white one and the all red one. Photos below are courtesy of the Beats site.

For the Adventurer: GoPro Camera

You have probably heard about GoPro cameras by now. The camera is small and does a fantastic job at recording action videos, including great audio. There are also so many accessories now making it easier to get amazing shots no matter where you are or what you are doing. So far my husband has taken his snorkeling and race car driving (see video below!). It lives up to the hype. 

A GoPro camera would let your Dad/Spouse record, relive and share all of his adventures from snorkeling to skiing to cycling to car racing to surfing. Really the sky is the limit. 

They have a variety of models, starting $129.99 and going up to $499.99. With accessories galore: hemet mounts, water proof cases, surf board mounts, car mounts, chest straps and the list goes on. 

Buy now on Amazon or do a little more research on the GoPro site.

Still now sure, see one in action! Here is a snippet from my husband's last racing class at Skip Barber, filmed with a GoPro Hero 3+. And by the way, if you want to really treat dad, sign him up for a racing class, try Skip Barber's 1 Day Racing School and Intro to Racing. But I will warn you, it is addictive.
