Trayvax Element Wallet
Yeah, wallets are one of those traditional gifts that we get dad, but this one from Trayvax is so different. First of all, it has a modern and rugged styling. The steel frame and leather case look rugged while still containing modern conveniences like RFID disruption. You can even custom-fit the wallet to your lifestyle and what you carry in your wallet. And perhaps best of all, these wallets are handcrafted in the USA. Who doesn’t love that?
Prestige Decanters
If you go to a well-appointed home, you’ll often find a decanter on a shelf or in their bar area. This is often used to help separate fine wines or spirits from sediment that may be in the bottle. Elevate Dad’s status by getting him a gorgeous decanter from Prestige Decanters. They have so many options to choose from, and they’re so unique. Made from fine glass, these decanters are a fab addition to any home bar or library. Plus, everyone will think you’re so fancy. Prestige Decanters also has whiskey glasses that make a great gift when paired with a nice bottle of Kentucky bourbon.
