Dyson V8 Absolute Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner This year, instead of getting my dad a few small things, my sister and I are going halves on getting him this Dyson V8 Absolute Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner ($369). His old vacuum has been around since I was a kid, and he'll be surprised how technology has changed when he sees you don't even need to plug this one into the wall.
