EPSS Father's Day Gift Guide
Unique Gifts for Your One-In-A-Million Dad
Every father is as unique as a beautiful snowflake.
A strong, manly, beautiful snowflake.
Anyway, the point is, no two dads are alike -- and the key to finding the perfect Father's Day gift for your one-in-a-million dad is to find something he can actually use while he does the things he loves! Does your dad love to hunt or fish? Or does he enjoy puttering around right outside, striving for that picture-perfect lawn? Is he an avid concert-goer? A frequent flyer? A dedicated biker? Or does your dad just need to take a load off, relax, and get some much-needed sleep?
No matter who your dad is or what he loves, we can help you find a gift he will actually use and enjoy this Father's Day -- and all year long.
Hunting & Shooting Dads
|
If your dad loves shooting and hunting, then we've got some killer gift ideas for you this year! Combat Arms ear plugs have set the standard for military shooter's ear plugs for a decade -- and right now, we've got the new Combat Arms Generation 4 Tactical Military Shooter's Ear Plugs in stock. These cutting-edge ear plugs let you switch between constant NRR 23 protection and NRR 7 variable noise reduction with impulse noise protection on the fly, making them perfect for hunting and shooting. |
|
These extraordinary Combat Arms Generation 4 ear plugs are usually only available through military suppliers, but we managed to get a few just in time for Father's Day -- so grab a pair for your dad before they're gone! (Insider tip: Make sure to order the average size to get these in time for Father's Day.) |

For an over-the-ear solution for the dad who loves to hunt and shoot, Power Muffs Alpha Electronic Shooters Ear Muffs from Walker's Game Ear are a superb hearing protector that won't break the bank. With wind-resistant directional microphones on each ear cup, Walker Alphas employ advanced sound compression technology that amplifies low-volume noises like voices and game sound while simultaneously providing protection from dangerously loud gunfire. With these, Dad will be able to hear everything around him clearly while he's hunting or shooting at the range -- and with protection to prevent that ringing in his ears, he'll still be able to hear YOU when he gets home! |
For the Fisherman Father
|
If your father loves to fish, think outside the tackle box this year. Why not get dad some low-cost earbuds or earphones to wear out on the bass boat? That way, he can enjoy his favorite tunes without disturbing the fish, and if he drops them in the water, it's not the end of the world. Or, if your fisherman father is a bit accident prone, why not get him some swimming ear plugs to wear in case he falls in? :) |
Dads Who Love Music
|
If your dad loves music, why not support his passion and help him protect his hearing with some musician's ear plugs this Father's Day? Ety-Plugs (aka the Etymotic ER-20) are our most popular natural sound musician's ear plug, and for good reason. Wearing these ear plugs is like turning down the volume knob on life: you can still hear the music clearly, without distortion, but at a lower and safer volume. Ety-Plugs are perfect whether Dad loves going to shows or just jamming out with friends -- and they come in both standard and large sizes, so you can get the right size to fit your one-of-a-kind dad's one-of-a-kind ears! |
|
Another excellent gift for any music-loving dad is a pair of Alpine MusicSafe Pro Professional Musicians Ear Plugs. These turn down the volume without distortion, just like Ety-Plugs -- but each pair of MusicSafe Pro's comes with three sets of interchangeable filters, so dad can choose between low, medium, and high sound attenuation. Playing some smooth jazz? Choose low attenuation. Attending a rock concert? Choose high attenuation. MusicSafe Pro plugs will do the job. |

Motorcycle Riding Dads
|
If your dad loves nothing more than roaring down the open road on his bike, a set of Sensorcom Microbuds Isolation Earphones may be the perfect gift this Father's Day. These earphones are so small -- just 10.7mm in diameter -- that they practically disappear in your ear, making them the perfect choice for wearing under a helmet. Too, Microbuds provide 20dB of noise reduction, so not only will these let your dad listen to his favorite music while on the road, but they'll cut down on fatiguing and irritating wind noise, making the ride that much sweeter. If your motorcycle riding dad prefers listening to his engine purr instead of listening to music, a pair of WindTamer Motorcyclist Ear Plugs might be right up his alley. These specially designed ear plugs cut out wind noise while still allowing important traffic sounds to reach your ears (and cutting the wind noise also lets you hear your own bike more clearly), so dad can maintain full situational awareness and ride more safely. |
Frequent-Flyer Fathers
|
Does your dad love to travel? Does business keep him constantly jetting around the globe, or does he have a personal passion for seeing the world? Either way, a pair of Cirrus EarPlanes can dramatically increase your father's comfort level during flights. EarPlanes have two major benefits. First, they prevent in-flight pressure changes from causing ear discomfort or pain, particularly during takeoff and landing. Second, they block out enough sound that you can still hear voices, while still taking the edge off all that fatiguing cabin noise. And if you're seeking a truly top-notch gift for your traveling dad, pick up a set of Plane Quiet Platinum Active Noise Canceling Headphones. These headphones not only produce excellent quality sound so Dad can listen to music or the in-flight movie with crystal-clear audio, but these headphones also "listen" to ambient cabin noise with their external microphones and actively cancel it out. Not only that, but you can choose to listen to your music, or you can choose to just use the noise canceling feature for some peace and quiet virtually anywhere. And here's a tip: these work just as well on the subway as they do on a plane. |
For the DIY Dad
|
Is your dad a constant gardener, spending every weekend mowing, weed-eating, and perfecting your golf-course-perfect lawn? Does he love to spend time in the garage or shop, sawing, nailing, and power-sanding his way to nirvana? If you've got a champion Do-it-Yourself Dad, get him a gift that will make all that hard work even more rewarding. A set of Got Ears? Model 29 Isolation Earphones will let him listen to any music he likes while also protecting his hearing from dangerously loud noises. These come with an EarSaver Automatic Volume Limiter that limits the volume to an OSHA-approved 82dB, so Dad can take these to work with him -- or he can simply unplug the removable EarSaver for unfettered listening at home. |
|
If your DIY dad also loves gadgets, he'll love getting a pair of 3M WorkTunes AM/FM Radio Ear Muffs. These hearing protectors include a built-in AM/FM radio with digital tuning, true stereo sound, 5 programmable station presets, and a patch cord to connect to MP3 players and other music sources. Best of all, WorkTunes were designed specifically for use while mowing or using power tools, so they'll keep Dad's hearing safe no matter how many Honey-Do's he tackles. |

Dads who Just Need Some Sleep
|
Finally, maybe your dad just needs some serious rest and relaxation. No matter what else your dad does, being a father is hard work -- so help your hard working dad get some sleep this Father's Day. Hearos Xtreme Protection Foam Ear Plugs make for a helpful and inexpensive gift: at NRR 33, these provide the very best noise reduction you can get from an ear plug, and the soft Hearos foam makes them great for relaxation and sleep. For another way to block out unwanted sounds for some much-needed peace and quiet, check out the Sound Oasis S-850 Travel White Noise Alarm Clock. It's a white noise machine that plays 18 unique sounds designed to block out the noisy world so you can sleep without being disturbed. It's also an alarm clock and a voice memo recorder, and it's battery powered so Dad can take it anywhere. Tip: If your father loves to go camping, this great little gadget will help him sleep better no matter where he roams in the great outdoors and wake up on time in the morning, too. The S-850 Travel White Noise Clock is a perfect gift for any dad who needs to rest, relax, and catch up on his zZz's. |
Until next time, be safe and do the right thing.
