One stand for his iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods, with one USB cable instead of three. The phone charges wirelessly (Qi). The supplier lists Apple Watch Series 1–4 for the watch charger, so check his model first.

Christmas gifts for Dad under $50
R.O.C.K.S. Whiskey Stones Gift Set – $45.00
Six granite stones that chill his bourbon without watering it down. Freeze, drop in, rinse, repeat. Every set has a different granite pattern.
Portable Charcoal Grill – $45.99
Unfolds into a stand in two steps with no tools and has 170 square inches of grate, enough to cook for 4 to 6 people. It folds to about 2 inches thick and weighs 3.6 lbs, so it goes to every tailgate and campsite.
Stainless Steel Hip Flask Gift Set – $39.99
An 8 oz brushed stainless flask with a screw-on cap that seals, a refill funnel, and two steel shot glasses, all in a foam-lined gift box. No wrapping needed.
Christmas gifts for Dad under $100
6-Piece Steak Knife Set with Rosewood Case – $69.99
Six 9-inch serrated stainless steak knives in a hinged rosewood-finish box. A good match for the dad who grills, and it comes in a white gift box ready to give.
Power Tool Organizer with Charging Station – $67.95
A 3-tier wall rack with four drill slots, pegboard sides, and a built-in 8-outlet power strip. If his drills and chargers are spread across the workbench, this fixes it in one afternoon.
Retro Game Console with 620 Built-In Games – $70.97
Classic games from the '80s and '90s, ready to play with no downloads. A fun one to set up with the kids on Christmas afternoon. One honest note: it connects with AV (red, white, and yellow) cables, so check that his TV has AV inputs first.

Smoke Boards Cocktail Smoker Kit – $106.95
A whiskey-barrel smoke board, butane torch, mason jar, and three jars of wood chips (cherry, apple, and pecan), with enough for 300+ drinks. The smoke goes through the drink, not just over the glass.
Emerson Portable Projector with Screen – $134.00
Comes with a 100-inch screen and a carry case, so movie night works the first night. Plug in a Roku or Fire Stick (not included) and pair a Bluetooth speaker. Native resolution is 720p: great for the garage or backyard, not a replacement for a 4K living room TV.
NightBlade Pickleball Paddle – $149.99
A 16mm carbon fiber paddle with an extended handle for two-handed shots. For the dad who's gotten serious about pickleball and is still playing with a starter paddle.

A handmade full-grain leather weekender, 17 inches long, so it works as a carry-on. Laser engraving is available at checkout. Order engraved bags by November 30.
