Man, it’s been a crazy few years but we won’t let that stop the holiday season… Or this years “Cool Dad” Holiday Gift Guide.

And… don’t forget to check out the 2021 Cool Dad Holiday Gift Guide (here). There’s a lot of awesome ideas that are just as cool this year as they were then. 

For The Outdoor Enthusiast Dad

LifeStraw Mission Water Purification System – As a family, we go camping often. We do our best to get a location near a body of water. I then pull out our family’s LifeStraw Mission Water Purification System and we get to purifying. It’s a gravity fed system and can take a little time but it’s nice to set it and forget it. Once it’s done, get more water and start the process over. I like that with minimal effort, we can have clean drinking water our entire camping trip. I have the 5 liter but would recommend the 12 liter so you don’t have to fill it as ofter. You can order your with the following link, https://amzn.to/3MvdDUe.

REI Co-op Adjustable Tarp Pole – The family and I try to get outside often. Camping or picnics, you name it. One item every “Outdoors Enthusiast Dad” should have is a pair of tarp poles. Combine two of theres with a tarp and some string, you can easily make a nice shade, keeping the sun out while you get your fun on. You can probably find some on amazon but I really like these made by REI. Why? They’re adjustable, light weight, and awesome. You can order yours by going to https://bit.ly/reisingletarppole.

For The Everyday Cool Dad

Bullstrap Luxury iPhone Cases/Apple Watch Bundles – Since 2020, I’ve kept my phone in a Bullstrap case. Why? For one, they’re awesome. For two, I love the leather look and the patina that develops through normal use. They have awesome, minimalist designs and a variety of colors that should complement anyone’s every-day carry confectionery. Even better, they have some awesome bundles that include a wallet, phone case and watch bands. They also have an awesome warranty and customer service. https://bit.ly/bull_strap.

For The Cool Car Dad

For the Gadget Dad

Anker Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K – Last year the Nebula Mini Projector made the list. It’s great for tent camping and that’s how we’ve used it in the past. This year, thing got a whole lot bigger… I mean, brighter… I mean, louder… I mean, awesomer… For 2022, Nebula has released their all new Cosmos Laser 4K. Sure, it’s more expensive. But for the Gadget Dad or Outdoors Enthusiast Dad, this is an awesome bit of kit that will create memories of movies under the stars, at home or away. Get it here, https://amzn.to/3C6o3F4.

For The Cuddle-up & Stay Cozy Dad

New (Comfy) Mattress form Purple – Last year blanket from Minky Couture was on the list. This year, it’s a new mattress from Purple. For the past year, everyone in my home has had a Purple Mattress as well as guests who come to visit. Everyone has expressed the comfort and support and I honestly can’t see me ever owning a different mattress. Not only is the mattress one of the best I’ve slept on, the Purple Harmony Pillow is my absolute all-time favorite pillow. Purple is an awesome company making awesome product tat defiantly enhance the ability for dad to Cuddle-up & Stay Cozy. If you’re not in the marked for a new mattress, still consider the Harmony Pillow. You can use the following link to save some off the regular price, https://bit.ly/buypurple.
