Bargain Gifts for Dad!

You don't have to spend a lot of money this year on gifts for your Dad. Check out these top five Bargain Gifts that will put a smile on any Dad's face!

Is your Dad into music? The ever embarrassing air guitar, especially when wearing headphones? Why not give Dad some speakers for his iPod? These speakers are a study retro shape that look just like your favorite interlocking building set (read *Lego*). Each speaker set is sturdy enough to hold your iPod upright and gives enough volume to keep Dad rocking. These speakers are perfect for the office or traveling around the house; and the best part is that they do not require any batteries! They use a USB to power up through your iPod! Compatible with iPod Classic, Nano, Touch, and Mini. For just 19.75 you can choose from Red, Blue, Green, White, Black, Yellow or Pink. If your Dad prefers metallic, and you don't mind paying slightly more, you can have it in Metallic Silver or Metallic Gold. Check them out at http://www.delight.com/iPod-Retro-Mini-Speaker.

Is your Dad into gadgets? It seems like everything can be plugged into the computer via USB ports these days. Laptops traditionally have fewer USB ports than a desktop- and now there is a solution! The USB Squid! And, alright, it's not a real squid as it does not have eight legs and two tentacles; but the USB Squid does have four arms which give you four USB ports instead of one! The greatest part of the USB Squid, and what makes it better than other USB Hubs is that the USB Squid's arms can bend in any direction! This allows much needed flexibility so all Dads' USB cords don't have to be coming from the same place. Additionally, the Squid USB's have ridges on the two sides, top, and the bottom, so you can connect the ports in many different configurations! Now you can have a few vertical ports next to a few horizontal ports. The choice (for only $19.99!) belongs to Dad!

Do you live in the North, or somewhere that it frequently snows? Winter can be especially hard on Dads that have to start their mornings scraping ice off of their vehicle. Make winter easier on your Dad this year by getting him an Ice Dozer Ice Scraper and Snow Remover. Whew, that's a name for ya! We can just call it the Ice Dozer, and it was designed to scrape ice and frost 2 - 3 times faster than most regular ice scrapers. It has a 7" wide scraper blade with teeth for clearing ice, and an edge that flexes to follow the curvature of the windshield, and it even has an ergonomic pistol grip designed to keep the Dad's wrist in a neutral position while pushing against snow or ice! And best of all the Ice Dozer comes with a lifetime warrantee! Every Dad can appreciate that! Check them out at http://cozywinters.com/shop/ice-dozer.html.
