Not only are these full grain American leather traveling tags perfect for the adventurous or world-traveling dad, they're also Southern-made. Holtz Leather – the brainchild of Rick and Coleen Holtz in Huntsville, Alabama – hand-picks leather hides, flaws and all, from a local tannery that's been in operation over 150 years. The tags are 5 inches by 3 inches, and can be personalized with a laser engraved address or message.

Give Dad the gift of crispy, golden waffles with this vintage-inspired Cast Iron Waffle Iron from Food52. He can use it in the fireplace, on the stove, and even on the grill – so it's a handy camping companion, as well. We recommend it with our Fluffy Buttermilk Waffles or, if he's more of a waffle connoisseur, Lemon-Poppy Seed Belgian Waffles. Just rotate occasionally (similar to how you'd cook s'mores!), and you're ready to bring him breakfast in bed.
