I got my dad high quality polarized sunglasses last year, and since then he wears them every day. I know cheap sunglasses and inexpensive for those on a budget, but high-quality ones really save your eyes from being harmed by the sun. Smith makes great sunglasses for the active men in life and are great for surfers, hikers, or the alpinist dads.

I always recommend the YETI Hopper as a great gift idea for all men. We have one and use it for everything, especially in the summer when we are always packing drinks and heading for the water. The YETI Hopper makes the best soft-sided cooler there is and keeps are drinks and other items cool for up to three days.
