Robert Verdi’s Ultimate Father’s Day Gift Guide. Really? I wonder…

Robert Verdi’s Ultimate Father’s Day Gift Guide from Robert Verdi on Vimeo.

If you’re still shopping for Dad, you might want to take a quick second to watch stylist Robert Verdi’s 8 great finds under $100.  In this video gift guide Robert Verdi makes gifts suggestions like Snapfish custom photo gifts, HeadBlade Sport Father’s Day Kit, Brookstone Spy Pen, PatchNYC candle, Flywheel Sports spinning classes, BluePrintCleanse Juice ‘Til dinner and the Sculptees T-Slim. The video also features designer shades ( wonder if they are the same one Robert wears on his head) and the brand new tech product the HP TouchPad starting at $499.

Not that I really care what celebs will be getting for Father’s Day, but Mr. Verdi does! His Father’s Day Gift Guide video features his gift picks for 10 celebrity Dads even Charlie Sheen!  Because you know Charlie’s kids really want to get him something #winning, right? You might want to give this video a look just for the sheer entertainment value of it.  After you watch this video, which is not intended to be humorous, tell me if your Dad or Husband really wants a “Juice Tell Dinner cleanse” a candle, or er Carrea Sunglasses.  I don’t know about some of these choices for Dad quite honestly.  Especially the  Sculptees T-Slim. Seriously. Would you buy that for your kids to give their Dad?  Personally, my Dad is not vain enough to wear a girdle type undershirt or starve himself on upscale juices.  My Dad wants to watch sports games on a BIG screen TV, get an iPhone, Windows Phone or an Android, and eat the biggest steak on the planet.  Pizza and hot dogs are also acceptable. Juice cleanse? Well, not so much. I’m not sure my Dad knows what that is.  He thinks a cleanse is about taking a shower after mowing the yard in the summer. But only after my mother screams at him to turn the game off 🙂

With all the buzz around the new iPad2 and the Blackberry Tablet, I do find the choice of the lower priced HP Touch Pad interesting.  The HP Touch Pads are probably in stock and orderable, whereas the iPad2s are not.  For more reality based Father’s Day Gift suggestions, check my guide, based on things my Dad actually told me he wants.
