For the adventurous realtor dad
These gifts will be welcomed by the realtor dad that likes to camp, hike, boat or fish when (and a big if) he has downtime.
Bluetti Portable Battery Generator w/ Solar Panel – Bluetti makes excellent portable battery power generators ranging from a 600W unit for $299 to a 2000W one for $1,799.

Whether dad is tent or trailer camping (or just needs backup power at the cottage), the EB70S will help keep his phone, tablet, and laptop charged for an entire weekend while also powering a range of other devices (I use mine to light up our campground at night when we’re camping). Pair it with the Bluetti PV200 200W solar panel ($699) to help keep it fully charged, and dad will see the full potential of living off-grid.

Users can see and control the video and photos they take via the built-in screen on the remote as well as through connected devices, like phones and tablets. The battery for the drone has a 38-minute runtime per full charge, and with the Fly-More Combo you get an additional two batteries and a charging hub for longer shoots (along with a shoulder bag and extra propellers in case of an accident).
For the realtor dad who wants to relax
With all the endless responsibilities between work and family, it’s not easy being a realtor dad. Help him relax with one of these gift ideas.
A bottle of booze – If dad likes to unwind with a drink every now and then, go for some top-shelf items to impress him this year.
