The Official Claudio Alegre Father’s Day Gift List

2012-08-04 15.23.43

A great father’s day gift is a combination of simplicity and careful pseudo-thoughtfulness. In the end it only needs to appeal to the lizard brain.

The criteria is simple:

Can I get instant gratification from it, does it temporarily fill the void of a much deeper and unknown desire, and can I and my ego bludgeon someone with it psychologically or physically …it doesn’t really matter which, either one will do!

Anyway hurry!  Because you only have today and tomorrow left to get him what’s on this list!

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One – Avengers Assembled – If you are a rabid Marvel fan then here’s where you start. Own the collection, watch with the kids, by yourself, or make it a whole family affair and force your wife to share your fantasies 😉

Survival Life lifetime subscription – A man’s one stop shop to all things survival, outdoors, family protection, tools and survival disaster tips and programs. I spent most of my time in working with businesses in the digital world, Survival Life offers me an awesome pattern interrupt and totally different point of reference and a way to unplug.

The BBQ Briefcase – Impress you brother in law and friends! You will look like you know what you are doing with this BBQ set even if you can’t overcook a burger.

Audio-Technica AT-LP60 turntable – As a product of the 80’s I can’t just turn my back on throwback technology, even though I can’t live without my iphone, soundcloud, Pandora and the other 175 technologies I depend on to fulfill my existence and those of my clients!

Gopro Hero4 Silver – I just think this is freaking cool and I want it!

The 80/20 Individual: How to Build on the 20% of What You do Best – THE 80/20 INDIVIDUAL, Richard Koch reveals the secret of their success: they discovered what they do better than anyone else and rode it for all its worth. Love this concept, grab it! It’ll change his life!

An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth: What Going to Space Taught Me About Ingenuity, Determination, and Being Prepared for Anything – I am now convinced that the most resourceful, smartest, mentally diverse and coolest people in this planet are astronauts! This would be a great gift for father’s day …great inspiration for fixing things around the house, but don’t tell him that when you give it to him, and definitely don’t say it was me!

If some of these don’t find their way to him today or tomorrow, there’s always birthdays and X-mas!

Either way Happy Father’s Day, and give your Dad a big kiss. I know mine’s getting a huge one 🙂
