For the avid reader

The flexible, free standing book light allows you to focus light exactly where you want it with customizable brightness levels. It can also be used as a bookmark and is portable for reading on an airplane or the backseat of a car when traveling.
Kindle Paperwhite: The Kindle Paperwhite is a great addition if dad’s bookshelf is getting a bit too full (or he likes to travel). Now with a larger display, adjustable warm light, increased battery life, and faster page turns, it’s hard to deny the convenience of the kindle. You can also download the Libby app and connect your Amazon account to your local library to borrow both ebooks and audiobooks for free!
For the music lover
Bose Portable Speaker: Known for its sound quality, this waterproof Bluetooth speaker offers up to 12 hours of battery per charge and is the perfect accessory for a dad on-the-go. Whether on a boat, the golf course, or just hanging in the backyard, pair this state-of-the-art speaker to the Bose Connect App for even more convenience for software updates and customized settings.
Personalized Record Print: This one definitely falls on the cheesier side, but it’s a great gift if your dad is obsessed with a specific song or artist. Customize an actual vinyl record album with names, dates, artists, or song titles. While the vinyl is for display only, you can level up the gift by curating a personalized playlist for your dad complete with songs he loves.
