All dads are different, so buying tech gifts for dad can be hard to get right. But don't sweat it. We've got some amazing Father’s Day prezzie ideas that’ll go down a treat. From a mug-nificent coffee machine to cutting-edge smart wearables that’ll make them feel like James Bond!
1. Gardening gifts for dad
If dad’s the green fingered kind, they’ll think this Flymo SimpliCompact 300 lawnmower is the bee’s knees. It’ll keep any lawn nice and neat, with three cutting heights and a grass comb that’ll let them cut right up to the edges. And they can leave the rake in the shed too. Its 30-litre grass box can hold loads of clippings before it needs emptying.
But wait, there’s mower. The SimpliCompact 300 also comes with a mini grass trimmer that makes it easy to tidy up tricky spots like flowerbeds too.
2. BBQ sets for dad
What dad wouldn't want a brand-new grill? This Ninja Woodfire OG703UK electric BBQ grill and smoker has a built-in BBQ grill that gives food that tasty chargrilled finish. Or load up its smoke box with just one scoop of wood pellets to infuse brisket or burgers with authentic woodfire flavour. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it…
But there’s even more that proves this isn’t any basic barbie. That’s because it can bake, roast, and air fry outside too. Bye-bye instant BBQ! And if you’ve invited a few guests round to celebrate Dad’s big day, this appliance easily fits up to 8 patties, 1 kg of chicken wings or 2 whole racks of ribs. It’ll literally feed the whole family.
3. Fitness gadgets for dad
Training for a marathon (or even a 10K run) can be hard work. That’s why you should give your dad some much-needed inspo with a fitness tracker like the Garmin Forerunner 165.
With one of these strapped to their wrist, they can accurately measure distance, pace, and loads more including their sleep habits and wellbeing. Plus, with Garmin Coach and race adaptive training plans, they’ll be making strides towards their goal in no time.
4. Sentimental gifts for dad
If your dad’s on the sentimental side, you can’t go far wrong with a digital photo frame. Instead of holding just one pic, you can fill it with a bunch of your favourite shared memories before you wrap it up. Then he can pop it on his desk or that table in the hallway, where the frame will cycle through them one-by-one.
The Sandstrom SDPFHD10W25 comes with a hefty 32 GB of internal memory. That’s a whole lot of holiday snaps. Or cute close-ups of the family pooch. And when it’s time to refresh the photos, that’s easy. Fire up the Frameo app for iOS and Android and upload some new ones straight from a phone.
5. Gifts for a golf dad
Dad’s probably told you he needs to work on his handicap. With some home golf equipment, there’s no excuse. Get the SIMSPACE SIM049 Impact Screen and they’ll be able to turn the living room into a full on course. Mum will be delighted, we’re sure.
It’s ideal for when it’s chucking it down outside, and they don’t fancy squelching round some sodden greens. Plus, with the 4K platinum surface, they’ll feel like they’re outdoors anyway. The crisp, clear visuals make every shot look amazingly realistic. Just remember to shout if you accidentally slice one into the kitchen. Four!
6. Coffee gifts for dad
They say coffee is fuel for genius. So, to make sure they stay on top of all of their dad jokes — you have to keep them caffeinated. And with this Breville one-touch CoffeeHouse machine, creating barista-quality brews at home is a complete doddle.
They’ll barely have to do a thing when they stumble bleary eyed into the kitchen on a Monday morning. Pre-programmed touch controls make it easy to choose a drink. Tap on one of the built-in favourites, and they’ll have a steaming cup of coffee ready to go in no time.
And if Dad ever fancies a latte or cappuccino? The automatic milk frother lets them make that velvety, café-style microfoam with only a few taps. It’s oh-so smooth.
7. Gifts for commuter dads
Whether Dad’s running for the bus or just running for fun, they won’t have to worry about running out of battery with these Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless Bluetooth headphones. They’ll go for up to a whopping 30 hours on a single charge, with their smart noise-cancelling tech blocking out any annoying distractions.
They’re great headphones for dads who love listening to a podcast or playlist on their way to work. Or maybe just while they’re doing the gardening. What’s more, they come in a range of cool colours too!
8. Gifts for stylish dads
Dad can look and feel their best with the Manscaped Beard Hedger Essentials wet and dry trimmer kit. Its 20 cutting positions lets them get super close shaves without bristly hairs being left behind. Have they got a big bushy beard that hasn’t been tamed in a while? The included detangling beard shampoo, conditioner, and comb should smooth out knots for a snag-free trim.
And if they’re in a rush in the morning, they can just bring the Beard Hedger in the shower with them. It’s designed for wet and dry use — and can even be used with foam or gel.
9. Gifts for dads on the go
Whether Dad likes watching Netflix on a trip or just wants to stay in touch while travelling, this Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 is made to go mobile. It’s lightweight and lasts up to 10 hours without needing a top up. While its 14” Full HD touchscreen means it’s small enough to slip into a bag but doesn’t compromise on picture quality.
Plus, Dad can do everything from multitasking to light gaming — with the powerful Intel® Core™ i3-1315U processor keeping everything running smoothly. And photos, music, and apps will load up super fast with a 256 GB SSD onboard.
10. For the dad who knows what they want
If your dad loves tech – but never drops a hint – why not just get them a Currys eGift card? You can pick from existing designs or create your own custom look. Then just choose the amount you’d like to treat them to, and we’ll send it straight to their email in time for the big day. We even have over 100 different gift cards from the likes of Just Eat, Spotify and Apple too.
