ice-cream-ballsHead to Sports Authority and grab the UCO Play & Freezeâ„¢ Ice Cream Maker, so dad can make ice cream anywhere! You don’t need electricity, just add ice and rock salt in one end and ice cream mix in the other end – then have a ball as you shake it, pass it or roll it. Made of durable polycarbonate, it’s lightweight, portable, easy to clean, and a great gift for just $29.99.   Added benefit: because it’s a smaller portion, made for eating on the spot, mom won’t be tempted by a huge half gallon of ice cream in the freezer!

  1. LOVE the camera waterproof case. I have one from DiCaPac and it ROCKS!!!!! It is super affordable, easy to travel with, and is waterproof. Try buying a custom case for your camera…it’s easily over $100!

  2. I like all these gifts except one: the external battery from Brookstone.

    Let me clarify: I like that battery. It would be a totally great gift. BUT DON’T BUY IT FROM BROOKSTONE. That store should be renamed BREAKstone.

  3. Hi everyone,

    It is cool that loads of people are already coming up with ideas for Fathers Day. It is my Dads birthday on Fathers Day which will mean double the planning and double the celebration. I had better get started. we should all be thinking about we can do to treat our Dads. My Dad is very special to me so I am going to treat the whole family to a lovely meal out at Dads choice of restaurant “ which I am sure he will enjoy! Sometimes I find that Fathers Day cards in the shops are so expensive, so I have found a free alternative. I came across a cool freeFathers Day eCard site which I quite like, there are lots of cards which I know my Dad will like. Whenever I go onto this site I always find new cards which I like, so it maybe worth giving it a try.

  4. Wow.. your 5 gift ideas that also under $50 are just amazing. Thank you so much

  5. These are some neat ideas that are new to me. Thanks! I think I like the ice cream maker the best….
