Ready to show some thigh this Halloween? In my Reno 911 Lt. Dangle Costume review, I share how this short-shorts classic became my funniest dad costume yet — real mustache, proud thighs, and zero regrets.

Learn from this Dad's mistake! I paid money to grade raw Jordan cards from my childhood, and one came back a PSA 4. Ouch! This 10X Jeweler’s Loupe with LED light now helps me spot flaws and corner dings before deciding to grade!

Forget flimsy piñatas that explode on the first swing. This strong (and beautiful!) Mexican Star birthday piñata delivers. See how it held 4 lbs of candy, wowed the crowd, and survived 15+ kids at my son's birthday party.

This Dad review of the GoSports Splash Hoop PRO shows why it’s engineered for the pool — with a durable all-weather build, quick 3-min setup, real basketballs, and a sturdy, tip-resistant base for endless family fun.

Ditch the dorm room Nerf hoop. Check out the Dad-approved CALI KIWI PROS Elite Mini Basketball Hoop! Made in the USA, beautifully crafted, and perfect for indoors. This hoop doesn’t just play well — it looks good doing it.

The CordaRoy’s Bean Bag Chair is dad-approved for wrestling, lounging, and sleepovers. My review highlights its soft, durable, and machine-washable design. See how easily it converts to queen-size bed — like a transformer!
