Gift guide

Gifts I would actually point to

I am a dad of three. This is not a store, and it is not a countdown. These are products already on Dad Kit Check, split the way I would hand them to a new dad, a grandparent, or a holiday list.

This is education, not medical advice. In an emergency, call 911.

New dads

The year-round car bag I start from is the MyMedic MyFAK. It is for all the cars in the household. The Welly tin is the everyday foundation kit, for scrapes, and the page says it is the add-on, not the car kit.

Grandparents

The Welly page calls that tin a foundation kit for scrapes. I would put one where the grandkids actually are. The Cosmo page says grandparents do not need a special app. They text from their regular phone. Cosmo aims this at about ages 6 to 12: kids who are starting to move around without you, when a locked-down call-and-locate watch is enough.

Check the current price on Cosmo's site. I am not listing a dollar amount here.

Holidays

Nothing here is running out because I said so. If you want backup communications, the Starlink page is the one I use at our house. Get $100 cash or service credit with my Starlink link. New Starlink customers get $100 after two months, as cash to your bank if your account offers it, or as a service credit. You pick in your Starlink account.

This is my Starlink referral link. I am a Starlink customer. I am not an employee, agent, or affiliate of Starlink or SpaceX. Starlink gives me a referral reward too.

I can point you to the Levo 36L unboxing. I cannot recommend the Citta 25L yet. Larger carry-on, listed for 5 to 7 days

I have not posted a long-term Levo review, and this page does not add a wear report on top of the videos.
