Trendy outdoor gift options for dad
For shoppers considering lawn care gifts, Tyler Graham with The Lawn Review said robotic lawnmowers are growing in popularity and becoming more reliable with new technology.
"Some of them even have string trimmer-like attachment capabilities on it, so it's getting pretty close to hands off for your lawn," Graham said.

Graham recommends leaf blowers as a practical gift that can be found around the $100 mark.
For the dad who has everything, he said an extra battery for battery-powered tools is another reliable choice.
"Gas wins on runtime. But if you've got enough batteries, then you can just swap out the battery," Graham said.
The griddling craze
For dads who need a new grill, the big box retailers are all running grill sales, including new models featuring a grill-griddle combo. Ace Hardware's Tim Cable said the griddle models are $50 off.
"Griddling is becoming a craze across the United States right now," Cable said.
