The Dry Paper Logmaker because all the heating in my parents house is from solid fuel burners and this sounds like a very efficient way to recycle paper. My dad is very into recycling and gadgets, so he’d love this!
Best Fathers Day gift by far for my Dad would be the Plug In Electricity Monitor. For two reasons- He does tend to freak out when the bills arrive and they’re high but the other reason would be because I know he secretly has a fascination with it and is so interested to know how it all works!
