Whether he was rooting you on at your big choir concert or patiently pushing you as you took those first shaky bike rides, your dear old dad has always been there for you. There’s no question that dad’s are looked up to and respected, but all too often they don’t receive the recognition they deserve; Father’s Day often stands in the shadow of its flower-and-card-filled counterpart. (When I serve my mom breakfast in bed for Mother’s Day and it spills all over the linens, who’s the first one on the scene to clean it up? Dad!) So let him know this Father’s Day how grateful you are for everything he’s done for you, and get him a great and affordable gift that he’ll cherish forever.
XM Radio If your old man enjoys tinkering in the garage with his favorite baseball team blasting in the background, XM Radio is right up his alley. With crystal clear reception and sound quality, you can get him an XpressEZ satellite radio for as little as $69.95. XM radio subscriptions run about $16 a month, with a full music and sports package included. Your pops can finally put those rabbit-ear antennas away and stop worrying about missing the big game.
