Best Gifts For Geeky Dads This Father’s Day

For The Drone-Pilot Dad

Drones are a great gift because they allow your dad to see the world from another perspective, safely live out his dreams of being a pilot, and have fun with his friends. You can choose between fancy 4K camera drones, fresh from Hollywood, like the DJI Mini 2 SE Fly More Combo, or small starter drones for racing and control practice, like the DJI Mini 3 Pro w / DJI RC, or DJI Tello Drone.

For The Gamer Dad

There are so many ways you can take your dad’s gaming set-up to the next level. If your dad wants to get more into gaming, then the Nintendo Switch OLED is a great option – docked to the TV, dad can play at home or use it on the go. For the PlayStation dad, the PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller, now in red-hot Cosmic Red, lets him team up with his player 2, while the PS5 Pulse 3D Wireless Headset will give him the competitive edge with 3D audio. If your dad is an Xbox player, you can’t go past the Xbox Wired Stereo Headset, which is compatible with all consoles, as well as an Xbox Wireless Controller, which works with both Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. PC gaming dads need the super comfortable and fast Logitech G502 Hero Optical Gaming Mouse.

For The Music-Loving Dad

If your dad loves music, whether he prefers quietly listening to classical tunes in his favourite armchair, rocking out on a road trip, or embarrassing his kids on the dance floor, life is too short for poor quality audio.

For dads who like to listen out loud, you can’t go past the multi-room connected audio system that is Sonos. The Sonos Era 100 speaker is particularly flexible, not just playing music, but also operating as a smart speaker with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. If your dad prefers to listen on the go, these Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones are the pick of most technology reviewers for their comfortable fit and excellent noise cancelling. Still on earphones, if your dad has an iPhone and has difficulty following the conversation in noisy places like restaurants, the Apple AirPods Pro has a Live Listen feature that will turn his phone into a microphone, helping him stay better connected to the world.

For The Computer-Nerd Dad

If you’re really angling to be dad’s favourite this year, then you can’t go past the MacBook Pro 16" M2 Pro, which has an insanely fast processor, ridiculously long battery life, and all the ports he’ll need to bring his next project to life. If he’s more of a PC user, the Lenovo Legion 7 15.6” Gaming Laptop will keep him connected and in the game, for a work/play/life balance. If your dad already has a great computer, then an Epson EcoTank printer is the perfect add-on – it doesn’t use cartridges, and ink refills start at $15, so it’s a gift he’ll thank you for, for years to come.

For The Security-Conscious Dad

A man’s home is his castle, and it’s definitely worth protecting. For dads who are starting their home security journey, a Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 is a must-have, as it features 3D motion detection, night vision, and the ability to respond to people at the door from anywhere in the world.

If he’s ready to take his home security up a notch, then the Swann 4 Camera 64GB 1080p DVR Enforcer Kit has free local and cloud recording, so he can protect his home or business and use the footage to either catch a criminal, or solve the mystery of what’s knocking over his bins at night.

Dads who like to be on the road will love the Navman MIVUE 770 because it features Safety alerts including speed and red-light cameras, school zones and accident black spots AND better illustrates their stories about that one guy who was driving like a maniac.
