Need help shopping for Dad? Check out some of our best Father's Day gift ideas
Father’s Day is coming up on Sunday, BUT don't panic, you still have a little time to get an amazing gift for Dad. Before you think about giving dad a necktie or settling in on another gift card, you should check out some of the latest tech gadgets. These are gifts he won’t stick in a drawer and enjoy year-round.
For the Dad who says he wants nothing
Comfy, cool and techie apparel are an essential gift for any dad. This Father’s Day, make sure your dad stays cool and comfortable with LifeLabs CoolLife tech line of apparel. From shorts to sleepwear and even a polo shirt, which cools the body temperature by nearly 3°F all day long, literally! This a huge win for dads *and my husband* who is always running hot and trying to keep cool and comfortable in the LA heat. The fabric feels cool to the touch.
The technology behind CoolLife sends heat away from the skin, allowing more of your body heat to escape than comparable fabrics creating a continuous cooling effect throughout the day
These items from the Men’s CoolLife collection come in a variety of colors with separates priced from $39 - $59 and everything is available on their website.
For the Dad who needs an organizational nudge
This the perfect gift for the dad who needs a little organizational help, but also the dad who is super organized. The Blackboard from Boogie Board is a reusable writing tablet perfect for writing notes, marking up documents or sketching out ideas. Say buh bye to loose lead papers and hello to why we love tech.
The Blackboard writing tablet in Letter size comes with an 8.5” x 11” semi-transparent writing surface enabled with a pen stylus with an eraser, four easy-to-swap templates and a magnetic penholder.
Slip one of the four note-taking templates (or any document) in the back and use the stylus to start writing on the semi-transparent writing tablet. Blackboard Letter writing tablet templates include Dot Grid, Blank, Planner and Lines.
Now dad can to save and organize his notes using the Blackboard app for iOS and Android.
The price of the Blackboard ($44.99) and available on their website and Amazon.
For the Dad who is always on the go
The Jabra Elite 7 Active is great for dad’s commute and travel. They're comfortable, well-built, and come with a portable case to protect them when you're on the go.
For the Dad who always complains that his back hurts
Before you write this thing off as an "as seen on TV" gimmick, you might want to take at the five-star ratings on Amazon and trust me on this. If it works for me—it will work for dad!
The $33 Naipo device is like a deep-tissue massage and the gift that keeps on giving
For the Dad who loves to entertain
HUE Sync Box and Play Gradient Lightstrip – two fabulous entertainment products that are perfect for Dads wanting to elevate their entertainment experience for watching a big game, playing video games, or for Dads looking to create a home theater.
For the trendy Dad
If you know Nomad, you know their Horween iPhone cases. Which dad wouldn’t love a beautiful piece of patina’d leather on his phone?
For the Dad who does it all
Dads are busy, and more often nowadays they work from home. Nothing says "Dad" like a big hot mug of coffee in the morning. But, like myself — OTHER DADS get busy at work and before you know it-the precious coffee is stone cold.
The Ember Mug is an app controlled mug that keeps the temperature of your coffee exactly where you want it.
Now Dad can keep up to date on emails, spreadsheets, reports etc. and not have to worry about that tiny window where coffee is "just right". The Ember Mug keeps it piping hot all day for dear old Dad.
For the spots fanatic Dads
Nintendo Switch OLED is the newest member of the Nintendo Switch family and great for the gamer Dad who likes a little competition. The new system features a 7-inch OLED screen, a wide adjustable stand, a dock with a wired LAN port, 64 GB of internal storage, and enhanced audio. Dad can play on the TV or on the go and share the detachable Joy-Con controllers for right-out-of-the-box multiplayer fun. You can also instantly undock the system and play in handheld mode. So, if want to play on the go or anywhere around the house, you have that option.
The Nintendo Switch Sports will get Dad and the whole family to enjoy a variety of sports, including Soccer, Volleyball, Bowling, Tennis, Badminton, Chambara (Swordplay), and Golf soon. Each sport features intuitive motion controls using the Joy-Con controllers that make it easy for anyone to pick up and play.
For the forgetful dad
If Dad is anything like my dad—he is always doing that thing where he pats his pockets in a panic, looking for his wallet or keys every time he’s leaving the house, get him a Tile Sticker. This Bluetooth tracker is about the size of a nickel and can stick to anything he’s worried he’ll forget. Instead of spending 15 minutes searching the couch the next time he can’t find his keys, he can just pull up the Tile app.
If you’re getting the Tile, I would also throw in some accessories to go with it. Nomad has beautiful leather airtag keychains and Cards for AirTag is a credit card shaped AirTag holder that makes it easy to track your wallet with the Find My App.
