It sounds lame, but checking out those "What to get Dad for Christmas" gift guides are sometimes a serious save for me. Why are dads so hard to buy for anyway?
My dad is pretty much a techie, and while he's slow to accept a new trend (just stopped carrying a blackberry and a flip phone, and is anti-social media), once he's got it, he's sometimes overzealous, (got an iPad over the summer, now has an iPhone, and actually asked me the other day what twitter is all about).

When it comes to computers he's one of those guys that knows how to do exactly what he needs to do with his tech, and not much more. But he has a lot of toys - motorcycles, cars (life-size and miniature), stereo equip., appliances, etc., I guess that's where I get it from. So what to get the man who has all the toy he wants?
Something he's never seen before... but what would that be? And can I get it on a budget?
How about the pen that does everything - Dad carries a pen wherever he goes, he hasn't made the crossover to jotting down notes on his phone, and probably never will completely.
A solar powered computer and gadget bag - he travels a lot and with time in and out of airports and rental cars, he could certainly use a gift like this.
An iGrill - keep track of grilling temps via iPhone or iPad. What dad wouldn't love this. No need to watch the grill when you can watch the game and keep track of the grilling in hand. My dad would love this one!
$100 for the iGrill
These are my top three ideas so far. Let me know if you have any others, or have a dad just as hard to buy for as mine. 19 shopping days left!
