So if you still need to get a gift for the dad\/husband\/whatever in your life, I offer this list of afford\u00adable pur\u00adchas\u00ades that have brought me joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If your guy does\u00adn\u2019t like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ontel-Battery-Organizer-Storage-Tester\/dp\/B089F9YDFC\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ontel-Battery-Organizer-Storage-Tester\/dp\/B089F9YDFC\">Bat\u00adtery Dad\u00addy<\/a>, is he even a mid\u00addle-aged man? Stores near\u00adly all your bat\u00adter\u00adies in one con\u00adve\u00adnient place. We got ours at Cost\u00adco and I\u2019ve seen them for sale at Home Depot and Ace Hard\u00adware. About $20. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/KeyCatch-Magnetic-Holder-Screw-White\/dp\/B01FE10TKA\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/KeyCatch-Magnetic-Holder-Screw-White\/dp\/B01FE10TKA\">Key\u00adCatch mag\u00adnet\u00adic screws<\/a> for hang\u00ading keys beneath light switch\u00ades. These things are amaz\u00ading. They replace the exist\u00ading screw in your wall plate and I 10\/10 rec\u00adom\u00admend. At about $15 they\u2019d be a great stock\u00ading stuffer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bible-Funny-Card-Game-Hilarious\/dp\/0593579496\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bible-Funny-Card-Game-Hilarious\/dp\/0593579496\">The Bible Is Fun\u00adny card game<\/a> is a hoot for a Chris\u00adt\u00adian audi\u00adence. Think Apples to Apples but with Bible vers\u00ades. I got it recent\u00adly and have loved it, but I do think it will have lim\u00adit\u00aded replay val\u00adue. There just aren\u2019t enough cards for long-term enjoy\u00adment, but plen\u00adty enough for play\u00ading with the fam\u00adi\u00adly for the rest of Christ\u00admas break. About $20. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Professional-Gaffer-Power-Non-Reflective-Multipurpose\/dp\/B00GZE3UJ8\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Professional-Gaffer-Power-Non-Reflective-Multipurpose\/dp\/B00GZE3UJ8\">Gaffer tape<\/a> is so much bet\u00adter than duct\/duck tape for almost every\u00adthing. It holds tight\u00adly but does\u00adn\u2019t leave a tacky residue when you pull it off. If your guy does\u00adn\u2019t know about this won\u00adder\u00adful stuff, buy him a roll. About $20. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When we\u2019re trav\u00adel\u00ading, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Adaptive-Sound-Technologies-LectroFan-Non-Looping\/dp\/B074FL2HL2\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Adaptive-Sound-Technologies-LectroFan-Non-Looping\/dp\/B074FL2HL2\">Lec\u00adtro\u00adFan EVO White Noise Machine<\/a> real\u00adly helps cre\u00adate a rest\u00adful envi\u00adron\u00adment. About $40.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I love these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Wigfar-Conduction-Headphones-Microphones-Sweatproof\/dp\/B0BK39FD94\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Wigfar-Conduction-Headphones-Microphones-Sweatproof\/dp\/B0BK39FD94\">Wig\u00adfar Bone Con\u00adduc\u00adtion Head\u00adphones<\/a>. For about $25 I can legal\u00adly lis\u00adten to pod\u00adcasts while I\u2019m bik\u00ading: these don\u2019t cov\u00ader your ears at all but instead pump sound waves direct\u00adly into your face bones.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Side note: I had hoped to use them in the gym as well, but the back band loops out a lit\u00adtle too far. There are oth\u00ader com\u00adpa\u00adnies that make this tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy, and per\u00adhaps one of them is bet\u00adter-fit\u00adting. Dig around. If your guy swims there are vari\u00adants that work under\u00adwa\u00adter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/scottchen-PRO-Spray-Paint-Shaker\/dp\/B0BKGL8LT8\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/scottchen-PRO-Spray-Paint-Shaker\/dp\/B0BKGL8LT8\">scottchen Spray Can Paint Mix\u00ader<\/a> fits into your drill and quick\u00adly mix\u00ades up a spray can. About $20.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NIIMBOT-D11-Connection-Organization-Rechargeable\/dp\/B0B4W92J8V\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NIIMBOT-D11-Connection-Organization-Rechargeable\/dp\/B0B4W92J8V\">Niim\u00adbot label mak\u00ader<\/a> prints labels quick\u00adly. It\u2019s com\u00adpact, there are lots of labels you can buy, and it does what I want. About $20. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Final\u00adly, some\u00adthing Paula and I have been doing for a while is buy\u00ading Christ\u00admas tree orna\u00adments for places we\u2019ve lived or been on vaca\u00adtion. That way dec\u00ado\u00adrat\u00ading the tree becomes a fun cel\u00ade\u00adbra\u00adtion of our his\u00adto\u00adry togeth\u00ader. If none of the oth\u00ader gifts feel like a good fit, maybe buy your guy an orna\u00adment from his alma mater or from your favorite fam\u00adi\u00adly vaca\u00adtion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> I hope at least one of these feels right for the mid\u00addle-aged man in your life.
