When time comes to celebrate the man who bandaged your scraped knees, built your tree house for you, and sat at the kitchen table with you until you’d finished your brussel sprouts, think beyond ties and coffee mugs. This year, give Dad a gift he will enjoy – a gift that shows him how much you love and appreciate him.

Swiss Mister

The Swiss Army SwissMemory USB multi-tool incorporates a high-performance USB 2.0 data storage device with other more traditional Swiss Army features such as pocket knife, nail file, miniature scissors, screwdriver, mini LED life and more. 2GB memory means plenty of space for dad to upload lots of images, files and other important “stuff”.

As told to BN Travel Editor, Kelley Granger

Driving a stretch limo in New York City is exciting. It tests your abilities to negotiate turns, deal with buses, large crowds of pedestrians and taxi cabs. It’s got its set of challenges, and it also has its rewards — namely bachelorette parties and the sneak peek into the girl’s night out that they afford. Take it from me guys: If your girlfriend is going out for a bachelorette, read this and think twice about letting her back in your bed.

Comparing Notes: Life in Your Bedroom

You better make sure to wow your girlfriend before she goes out on one of these adventures, because your rep will get smashed when she tells all her friends about your intimate inadequacies. These girls have detailed graphic conversations and talk about a number of sexual acts. They tell each other what they do, how they do it, how they like it and if it’s good. For me, it was valuable to get the female perspective on the topics. For you, it could just be plain humiliating.
