Father's Day is this weekend, but don’t worry if you’re scrambling for a last minute gift! Whether your dad is a technology whisperer who can solve any computer problem or an outdoorsman climbing mountains and sailing seas, we’ve got a great list of gifts that let him know how much he means to you this Father’s Day.
For The Dad Who Is Always Outside

Grill Light
Don’t leave Dad in the dark when it comes to grilling up a great meal. These lights clip on to the grill so you don’t have to wear a headlamp or fumble around in the dark once those long summer days start getting shorter.

For the Dad Who Can’t Cook Enough
Molecular Gastronomy Kit
If you have a dad who loves the science behind cooking, this is the gift for him. A molecular gastronomy kit (found on Amazon) turns the kitchen into a lab where you and your dad can create delicious concoctions like chocolate spaghetti. Who says you can’t play with your food?!
