Lap Tray from Hitplay
We know Dads tend to be workaholics, and spend a significant amount of time on their computers.

The cushioned lap tray by Hitplay comes with a designated place for a drink, and even a small lamp for those late nights.

You can buy it straight and get it monogrammed with his initials. Complete with a gold zip and separate magnetic pocket for cotton buds, this one’s a gift that’ll be used for sure.
