Father’s Day 2014 is behind us now. The gifts are given, and the reactions are finalized.
Now, if you forgot to give Dad something on his special day, I give up on you. You’re beyond help — especially when you consider how hard we’ve been hitting the Dads and Grads Guyd angle this month.
If whatever you did snag for you father fell a little flat, didn’t fit or was otherwise less than a home run, it’s not too late. We held onto some additional ideas for gifts that are cool enough to stand in as replacement for your original efforts.
As always, the following come in a variety of price points and themes. So, take a breath. It’ll be OK.

Satechi USB Portable Humidifier
If your Dad travels a lot, the Satechi USB Portable Humidifier is an ingenius, simple device. Once connected to a USB power source, the device uses a standard water bottle to send a mist into the air that treats dry hotel air for better breathing. I take one with me wherever I go.
