Is it just me, or are men hard to buy for? I can always please my mom with a candle, or some pampering body products. But I'm never quite sure what to get my father or husband. Here are some ideas to help break out of the "new tie" niche for Father's Day:

We mamas are big fans of the baby carriers, and there are so many dad-friendly slings on the market today that would make a great gift. One new take on the traditional framed carrier is The Kokopax. Built with a frame like a camping backpack, it is comfortable enough to use for the active endeavors dad might enjoy. It's perfect for walks or hiking, and offers a safe and comfortable ride for baby. The fabrics are gender-neutral, and we think dads wearing babies look extra HOT! Ever since we saw a presentation in the airport, my husband has been itching to try Rosetta Stone. The company allowed us to try their new TotalE. It's a cutting-edge system for learning a new language (we've always wanted to be better at Spanish). The new TotalE system lets you practice conversation with live native-speaking coaches, and you ca connect with fellow learners, including native speakers of your new language. Check out the preview on their website.
I am a huge fan of Lisa Leonard's jewelry, and her sterling keychain is a great personalized yet masculine gift for dads.
If your husband is the type who likes to capture family moments on film, the Flip camera is a great alternate to the camcorder. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, and quickly uploads to your computer via USB port, for easy sharing. We got one for Christmas last year, and since then my husband has really taken ownership of filming our kids consistently.
