4) NOCO Boost Plus GB40

My NOCO Boost Plus has bailed me out of a jam before. I suggest you carry a jump starter in every car you take on a road trip this holiday season. As a bonus, the NOCO can be used as a power bank with USB ports for device charging.

5) Apple AirTag

The Apple AirTag has endless possibilities. Keep track of and find your items alongside friends and devices in the Find My app. A simple one-tap setup instantly connects AirTag with your iPhone or iPad. Place one on your kids, in your car, or in your kid's bookbag for easy locating.

6) BLUETTI Portable Power Station EB3A

I own this inverter and I love it! With a 600W AC inverter, 268Wh LiFePO4 battery pack, and 9 outlets, this power station will keep your essential devices powered on the go or during a home power outage. No bulky power brick, a single cable is good to charge it.

7) DeleteMe Privacy Service

Protect your personal, private information from sketchy people-search websites. With help from DeleteMe, they'll remove your private data from being sold on hundreds of websites across the internet.

I've been impressed with GearLight products and these lanterns do not disappoint. With multiple modes - Bright, Brighter, Brightest, - they will be essential for your next camping trip or power outage.

No holiday gift guide from The Secure Dad is complete until you have an excellent product from High Speed Daddy. This is the MOAB Jr. bundle that is only found on the HSD website. It includes the HSD diaper bag, lunch bag, IFAK bag, and water bottle holder. I have all of these items and use them all the time without fail.

SLNT makes a variety of Faraday solutions for phones, tablets, laptops, and car keys. I can attest that they do take your devices off-grid and protect them from cellular, wi-fi, Bluetooth, EMF, RFID, and GPS signals.

12) JBL Clip 4: Portable Speaker with Bluetooth

I very much enjoy my CLIP4 from JBL. I use it for working outside, in the house, and even working on the car. The sound is great and starts up fast. The clip is great for attaching it to a backpack or whatever is around you.

13) NordVPN Subscription

Keep NordVPN active on up to 6 devices at once or secure the entire home network by setting up VPN protection on your router. Compatible with Windows, macOS, iOS, Linux, Android, Amazon Fire TV Stick, and others.

14) Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw

People say this water bottle will change your life. I have one and I understand the hype. You can sip out of it through the straw, or use the free pour lid to drink out of it. There are no parts to swap, sip the way you want.

15) Ring Alarm 8-piece kit

Do-it-yourself home security with Ring. If you have a Ring doorbell already, then upgrade your home's security with an 8-piece home security system. If you can use double-sided tape and connect a device to your Wi-Fi, then you can install this system.

16) Sennheiser Consumer Audio HD 450BT Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Headphone
Senn_BT450.png

These are the best headphones I've ever had. I use them to master The Secure Dad Podcast. I use active noise cancellation for uninterrupted listening pleasure. The 450BTs have a 30-hour battery life with USB-C fast charging.

17) Streamlight Stylus Pro LED PenLight
StreamLight.jpg

Yes, the Streamlight Stylus Pro has been on this list before, and with good reason. I carry this light as part of my EDC - day in and day out. I've dropped this light, gotten it wet, and abused it for years and it still works great. This makes a great stocking suffer.

Answer your door no matter where you are from your smartphone with 1080p HD day and infrared night video and two-way audio. Experience long-lasting battery life, custom alerts, privacy settings, and more.

20) VIBELITE Extendable Magnetic Flashlight with Telescoping Magnet Pickup Tool

This is my pick for this year's most popular gift for men. I suspect there will be one in my stocking this year. With a flexible, magnetic light, retrieving my 10mm socket will be much easier.

Merry Christmas and have a wonderful holiday season. I hope a gift from this guide will help you put a smile on the face of the Secure Dad in your life.

 

Remember when you go holiday shopping, do your best to hide your items in your car in the trunk or cargo area. This will help you avoid a potential break-in.
