Best gift ideas for Father's Day

It's time to mark the day on your calendar because Father's Day is almost here.

If you dread looking for a gift for Dad every year, don't worry; let us help you pick the best gift ideas.

Forget the "#1 Dad" mug; get some Tech

We know that playing it safe is highly tempting, especially when choosing a gift for Dad.

However, tech gifts are among the top choices for Father's Day for a good reason, they stimulate natural curiosity, and they are the type of gift that Dad will use throughout the year.

Finding the best gift for him can be a detective game of some sorts: what are his hobbies? What does he read while he's drinking his evening coffee? Or what are his favourite video games?

Just like dads, tech gifts come in every type, model and size, but let us help you narrow down your options based on your dad’s hobbies.

Comfy and simple

This type of Dad is awesome (is there a type that isn't?). He works hard, but when it comes to relaxing, he loves nothing more than to sit down and have a long streaming session, read a book or enjoy a good historical documentary. Let us give you some choices so he can sit back and relax this Father's Day.
