We are on to something brilliant here, Mr. OTN and I!
Last month I posted the TOP 10 things I wanted for Mother’s Day, hoping to give y’all some ideas of what a mom like me yearns for. I had no intention of giving hints to my daughters, especially since I don’t really think they come over to read my blog posts unless my title suggests some shocking family secret about to be revealed. Only then might they pop over to make sure I’ve protected their identity.
However, when I did the Mother’s Day post last month, guess what showed up on my porch a few days later? Yes! One of the gifts I’d listed.
Mr. OTN doesn’t really expect a gift but I asked him to pick his Top 10 List for Father’s Day anyway, just so I’d know what’s going to show up on the porch next . . . because if he wants something badly enough he generally buys it before anyone else has the chance.
Note: By clicking on the pictures you will be linked to the products. I do receive a small commission for anything purchased from Amazon, although you don’t pay any more than you normally would by going to Amazon directly yourself.
This is the list, in ascending order:
10. Alexa Voice Remote Control (you might guess that more is coming in this vein, as who buys the remote without the equipment, right?)
9. Echo Dot – This is a smaller version of the Alexa unit I told you about in my Mom’s Day post. We have one of these in our bedroom and I boss it around while I get ready in the morning, asking it to set the timer, tell me the weather outside, play my favorite music, etc.
8. BBQ Grill Tool Set with 16 Accessories and Aluminum Case – I love the case idea but how many guys put their toys away when they’ve finished with them?
7. Garrett Deluxe Gold Pan Kit – Because what guy isn’t an explorer at heart.
6. Roku Premier HD & 4K Streaming Media Player – No clue.
5. Echo – This is like the Echo Dot (Alexa lives inside) except with a speaker.
4. Penn Special Senator Star Drag Reel – This is sure to make a so-so fisherman a great fisherman 😉
3. Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector – For more treasure hunting of course.
2. Garmin Echomap Chirp with Transducer – Don’t ask me about the transducer and why it chirps.
And finally . . .
1. A DeWalt 10″ Compact Job Site Tablesaw – The hub’s favorite, which he already ordered and is sitting in the garage as I type.
I’m pretty sure that Mr. OTN’s Father’s Day list adds up to quite a bit more hard earned cash than my Mother’s Day list did, but really, don’t the really good dads deserve to be spoiled on their special day?
Happy Father’s Day Mr. OTN
God bless our Dads!

What a fabulous list! That is a great idea to ask for your hubby to make a list. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you Pam. It is much better to ask the hubs for a list than to try to buy for him on my own. Sometimes the things I choose really don’t line up with his wants!
Hello from your linkup neighbor. Excellent list. My hubby would love the grill and camping supplies.
The list is better than I could’ve done on my own. Thank God for having a hubby who is willing to indulge my blogging passion!
Super-fun! I may have to try this tactic for Mothers Day next year! LOL Blessings!
I think we should do this for every holiday Liz! LOL! Blessings back to you 😉
Glad you got a special gift from your daughters off your list, Patti. 🙂 It’s nice to know they are paying attention. ha. Nice BBQ grill tool set! My own husband would likely love that.
It was very sweet to receive a gift off my list Lisa, but then they laughingly accused me of writing my Mother’s Day post for their benefit! So funny. Thanks for the visit dear friend.
So many cool gadgets!
Yes Hannah! I think the guys get much cooler gadgets than we do. But then, I’d rather have something pretty than gadgety I suppose. 😉
Boy, am I out of it? I have no idea what half of those items are…..UGH. However, my hubby would like all the other choices. I think that’s the same saw he bought himself.
Also, are you going to be writing a post of your new adorable puppy? Love to hear how she’s doing and if there’s a story behind you getting her.
Happy Father’s Day and bless you, Mr. OTN!
Guy toys are getting fancier all the time aren’t they? More expensive too 😉 I am in the process of writing What I Learned in May and the pup takes up a good part of it, so yes, puppy stories are coming. 😉
I clicked through on the Garrett gold pan kit for Larry.
Yay! I was reading about Boone just this morning and can hardly wait to check out the city while the guys go prospecting!
I think I would like a few things on the FATHER’S DAY gift list…hahaha
Who doesn’t like metal detecting or panning for gold? !!
The saw would be good, too.
I think I now need an amazon echo. I am always having to go look for my phone (or yell to somebody else to do it) to see the weather so I know what to wear. And sometimes I just wanna boss somebody around during the day besides the dog. hahahaha
We already have the Roku Premiere. We like it.
Mr. OTN can have the fishing gear …I don’t fish. Water means mosquitos and I am a MAGNET for them! LOL
You are so funny Robin! I think you SHOULD have an Amazon Echo. The gal, Alexa, who lives inside of the Echo is very responsive to commands and she never talks back. Glad to hear you like the Roku Premiere. That is the one thing that I have no clue about . . . what it does or why . . . but I suppose I will find out when it shows up on the doorstep.
Have a great week friend 😉
visiting from Coffee and Conversation. Great list of ideas. Thanks.
Thank you for the visit Kristina!
This is a great list for a man. Thanks. I always have trouble shopping for Father’s Day.
Oh Theresa, so do I! That’s why I’m thankful that my hubby was agreeable to creating a list. Thank you for stopping by.
What a great list, Patti! And I didn’t see this link shared back at the From Messes to Messages linkup. I’d love to have you share it there! Oh, and I have to say, I’d love to have that table saw too! I love repurposing furniture and am often in need of a saw like that. Thankfully, I have friends who help me out! ha! Thanks so much for the list and I hope that your hubby gets at least one of those gifts on your porch!
How cool that you repurpose furniture too Beth! I haven’t done much of it since moving here. My old house had a huge garage full of pieces I picked up cheap, but we couldn’t justify paying a mover to bring them with us. I have now officially linked up to your link party. Thanks Beth.
I asked my husband for a list, but he didn’t get around to making one. Thankfully, I came up with an idea on my own, but these are great ideas to keep in mind for future years. Thanks!
I’m glad you thought of something Shannon. Thank you!
Great list! That metal detector would be a lot of fun for the family!
Thanks Roseann. Last week we were at a cabin with two other couples and the guys went down to a public beach to play with the one man’s metal detector. They came back with all sorts of rusty treasures! No money though 😉 My hubby sure does need one of his own. LOL!
Great list. We have the echo dot and the Alexia and love them both! We also have the remote control, but we never use it. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Great gift suggestions!
Thanks Barbie!
How fun! I’m wondering which of those great ideas DID show up today! ♥ Thanks, Patti! It’s always so good to have you visit!
Blessings and smiles,
Lori
Thank you and blessings back to you Lori!
The metal detector is a great idea! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
