For generations, the go-to Father’s Day gift was always a tie. In America’s cultural past, the figure of the father was heavily associated with providing for his family, that is, his work. To do his work, he would go into an office five days a week. For each one of those days he would need a different tie to wear.
Every aspect of that formulation is now outdated. Associating fathers primarily with work (or even with a family unit at all) is considered sexist. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, few people currently go into an office five days a week. When they do, unless they are a lawyer or have some other vestigial occupation from another age, they almost certainly do not have to wear a tie.
While some men may relish the distinctly postmodern ability to put in an honest day’s work in a T-shirt, the new normal made things more difficult for sons and daughters when shopping for Father’s Day each June.
Enter the wallet. Wallets make for great Father’s Day gifts. Mobile payments have not yet taken over in this country as they have in Asia, so a dad still must carry a wallet everywhere he goes. Wallets succumb to normal wear and tear and aren’t too expensive, so most fathers would appreciate getting a new one each year.
What makes the TRAVANDO wallet better than the myriad other wallets on Amazon? To start, there is no denying it is stylish. It is thin and minimalistic while still having enough pockets (11) to make it extremely functional. Instead of a big pocket across the top for stuffing bills in, it features an interior money clip, nowadays a necessity for a certain brand of fashion-forward Boomer.
Unlike many wallets that claim to protect you from ID thieves, the TRAVANDO wallet listing includes actual information on the level of protection you get, specifically: “13.56 MHz band and protect against data theft by RFID scanners.“ Details like that let you know that whoever wrote the listing is not full of hot air.
To top it all off, the TRAVANDO wallet arrives in a nice little gift box, reducing the amount of effort that a child has to turning it into a Father’s Day present:

School is out, the tide is in, and summer 2022 is a-go. Though the beach was one of those places you could still travel to even at the height of COVID restrictions, the repeal of mask mandates and negative testing requirements sure make the whole experience much more appealing.
Of course, going to the beach for the first time in years likely means you are in need of supplies. If that is the case, you came to the right place. In recent weeks, We Know Products has written about a variety of beach gear, including a beach table, vacuum-insulated margarita tumblers, and an American flag beach umbrella. Here is another one to add to the list: rubber tote bags.
Now, longtime WKP readers know we are partial to the clear tote bags with U.S. flag patches. But we have also heard from fans who say they like the Expersion totes for going to games and concerts, but that they also want something a little more spacious for beach trips. This rubber tote fits the bill.
As you can see from the item’s title, this bag is literally “oversized,” so you will have zero problem fitting in everything you need to haul down from your hotel room to the shore.
