David Gregg – Senior Editor of BehindTheBuy.com realizes there are all different types of Dads, and that’s why he’s gathered an interesting selection of Father’s Day gift ideas for us to learn about.
VARIDESK Standing Desks
VARIDESK is the leader in height-adjustable standing desk solutions and has a variety of products to turn any desk into a sit-stand desk.
Standing desks have been linked to increased productivity. In fact, workers improved their output by 46% when they had the option to use a standing desk, according to a recent study by the Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Public Health. Sit-stand workstations have also been shown to reduce upper and lower back pain, which has an $85 billion impact on the economy each year and is one of the leading causes of absenteeism in the workplace. What dad wouldn’t appreciate those benefits?!
The VARIDESK models start at just $175 and make the perfect gift for Father’s Day, so Dad can be more productive with less pain.
VARIDESK thinks your dad will love his new standing desk so much, they provide everyone with a 30 day – 100% satisfaction guarantee – including free pick-up and return!
PRICE: Starts at $175; VARIDESK.com

DynaTrap Insect Traps
DynaTrap is the essential Father’s Day gift and summer product because it provides affordable and effective mosquito relief for your yard and home, as it helps to protect your family, pets, and garden from harmful mosquito-borne diseases like Zika and West Nile, by reducing the mosquito population. DynaTrap is different from other insect traps because it attracts and traps mosquitoes, biting flies and other flying insects by emitting Carbon Dioxide (the same thing that draws biting bugs to humans) and uses no pesticides, chemicals or propane – and doesn’t have that distracting zap sound. It’s easy to set up, can be used indoors or outside, requires very low maintenance and is environmentally friendly.
It’s available in two models (DT1100 and DT2000XL) offering half and full acre protection with pricing starting at just $139.
