My dad is one of the hardest people to shop for.  He likes tools, tv, and gambling, not quite the normal stuff you can shop for.  He is my dad though and I am always trying to surprise him with a great gift.  Dads usually fit into one of a few personas, all of them have perfect gift ideas that can be found at you guessed it, Best Buy.

• Entertainer – Gifts for the Dad who aspires to set up the ultimate man cave complete with gaming, sports, movies, listing to music, or just hanging out. This Dad loves to share so it also has everything at the ready for entertaining a crowd.
  • Samsung 48″ Class LED 1080p 120Hz Smart HDTV
  • Apple TV
  • Krups Beertender
  • Stone bake pizza oven
  • Sony Blu-ray Player

  • Back to the Future: 25th Anniversary Blu-ray

• Fitness Fanatic: Dad who doesn’t let age slow him down.  He has no fear and loves adventure, but aspires to be/keep healthy as well. Dad uses technology in a wide range of ways in his active life both for himself and the family for instance; Go Pro and Fit Bit to track activity and recording adventures, to portable batteries for on the go fitness, camping while listening to music / watching movies on the smartphone
  • Jawbone – UP24 Wireless Activity Tracker
  • Philips Norelco SensoTouch 2D Electric Shaver

• Memory Maker: For the Dad that makes sure that not only all the memories are captured and stored (video/photo) but keeps the family organized and under control. Gifts for him make his life easer; Dad pays the bills with laptop, videos kids, back up storage for pictures, prints out schedules for baseball practices and games, etc.
  • mophie space pack
  • HTC One (M8) Amber Gold

I think if I had to pick any of those, my dad would fit into the Entertainer persona and I think he’d love the Krups Beertender or Stone bake pizza oven. I would have never thought to shop for my dad at Best Buy, but its a great idea! Usually I get him a home improvement store gift card or pair of boots, but Best Buy is looking like a better choice these days!

Need some ideas?  Best Buy has a Gift Center Guide where you can pick what type of person you are shopping for and get ideas.  There is Free Shipping on orders of $25 and up or use free in store pickup (for those last minute shoppers like me.) I love the ideas they suggested, and some are ones I hadn’t even thought of!
