Dad likes working out in the yard, doesn't he? While to some, a Reel Push Mower could be the Father's Day gift equivalent of getting Mom a vacuum, it's really a very neat gadget to have. Not only does it have an appealingly retro look to it, but it is incredibly eco-friendly. It requires no gas, oil or electricity to run and the flame-hardened steel blades offer surprisingly precise cutting. The mower is made of steel with a foam-padded ergonomic handle and requires little maintenance beyond periodic (every 4-8 years) blade sharpening. It makes next-to-no noise - unlike the neighbor's supercharged grass-cutting machine - and the mower weighs in at only 17 pounds. Dad may even burn off a few extra calories pushing it through the grass, though you may not want to mention that added health benefit on the gift card. Price: $198.50
