1. Apple AirTag: Best gift for forgetful dads
I am sure you wouldn’t want your dad to miss his essential goodies, maybe his keys, bags, or wallets. Being a busy man, he will appreciate Apple AirTag, a tiny little Bluetooth tracker. AirTag can be paired with anything you want to track and monitor constantly using your iPhone. For instance, if you lose your key with AirTag snapped, you can track it using your iPhone. Besides, you can get an engraved Apple AirTag for free. So, get his initials or an emoji for a more personalized gift. However, if your dad uses an Android phone, AirTag is not the ideal choice. You may want to check our guide on AirTag alternatives.

2. Carved cases: Best for stylish fathers

Carved offers wood and resin cases inspired by the beauty of the earth. Furthermore, these stylish phone cases are one of a kind; while the basic style may be similar, no two cases look alike. And if that’s not all, the rubber bumper, soft inner microfiber, and raised bezels offer day-to-day protection. It is also Qi-compatible and can be upgraded to MagSafe compatibility if needed. Another good news is that Carved offers mobile cases for the latest Apple and Samsung devices.

4. Pillow subscription: The gift of sound sleep
Your dad worries about many things, disturbing his sleep schedule. Trust me, he may not understand this, but he needs a deeper insight into his sleeping activity for a healthy sleep cycle. Besides, we don’t want him getting into medications now, do we? Pillow is an invaluable tool for sleep tracking and analysis. It will help your dad get daily insights into and understand the problematic areas. It also works as an alarm clock to wake him up when he sleeps at his lightest. The app stores audio recordings of his sleeping time and monitors activities such as snoring, sleep talking, and sleep apnea, making it a completer package.

Apple correctly calls the device mini but mighty. The smart speaker comes with powerful bass and crisp highs that adapt to any room, which works perfectly if your dad is an audiophile. It can double up as a home theatre system, supports various music streaming services, and works with thousands of smart home devices. This means your dad can set alarms and timers, listen to dad jokes, and even hear the latest news. This would make a great choice to smarten his home and keep him company. Once he gets the hang of it, there is no going back. P.S. if you’re looking for someone who can crack better jokes than Siri, check out these HomePod alternatives. Check out on: Apple

This smart bottle is a neat way to ensure that your dad sticks to his water-drinking schedule; well, it will remind him at least. It boasts an LED smart sensor “puck” that will glow when it’s time to drink water. What’s more, it syncs with the HidrateSpark App via Bluetooth and also tracks your water intake. The app also calculates and adjusts a personalized hydration goal based on individual body and activity level.

8. iRobot Roomba 675: A clean gift for Father’s day
Whether your father has a cleaning OCD or just lands up with the cleaning duty, unfortunately, a robotic vacuum cleaner will prove an excellent gift. With an automatic cleaning head, the iRobot Roomba cleaner adjusts its height according to the floor or carpet beneath it. Plus, it’s equipped with a 3-stage cleaning system, including loosening, lifting, and suctioning the dirt, dust, hair, etc. And it works on the carpet and hardwood floors. What I love the most is the direct detect sensors, which allow it to increase or decrease the suction power depending on the surface’s dirt. Furthermore, a sweeping edge brush ensures that even corners and edges are cleaned perfectly. The iRobot Home App also supports Google Assistant voice commands and Alexa, so the vacuum will listen to his commands.

9. Dragon touch photo frame: Best personalized father’s day gift
Gone are the days when we had hundreds of photos stored in photo albums or dozens of frames hanging on the wall. But the memories haven’t changed. Only the destination has changed into a digital photo frame. Dragon Touch’s classic photo frame comes with a 16:10 aspect ratio and a screen display of 1280×800, ensuring an instant and unlimited photo and video sharing via Wi-Fi and Cloud network.

10. Logitech StreamCam: Best for the video calls
If your dad is a gamer or any streamer, he needs a good webcam for his YouTube or Twitch streams. And Logitech’s StreamCam is the answer to it as it comes optimized for Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). StreamCam can also be used as a multipurpose camera and supports vertical video, a format known for Twitter or Instagram. For faster video transfers, it boasts USB-C that devoids any lags or stutters during the video transfers. I adore the Logitech Capture software, which offers handy tools for content creators and streamers. For instance, it lets you record with two webcams, merges into a single scene, and work the video out.

12. Apple Watch SE: Best for fitness-enthusiast
I feel there is no device better than an Apple Watch. The gadget monitors everything, health, work, fitness, emails, call notifications, and whatnot. And if your dad doesn’t have it yet, feel free to avoid every gadget on this list and get him an Apple Watch. The cellular model lets you get calls, messages, and stream music and supports Siri. It tracks your daily activities, monitors your fitness levels, and supports a million activities to track your daily functionalities. It has an optical heart rate sensor, always-on altimeter, and even fall monitoring. The design is on point, looks similar to the Series 6 model, and is water-resistant. It also comes with an Ion-X glass that protects the display. I admire an Apple gadget because of its usability and connectivity. Staying true to this, SE comes with a family setup that pairs multiple Apple Watches with a single iPhone. You can monitor your dad’s activities with your iPhone and stay alert about any major health concerns.

13. NEBULA Anker Capsule: Best for the adventure junkies
Do your dad love camping, outdoor activities, and watching movies or live sports? Well, then I have just the gift that’ll match his favorite hobbies, a mini projector. The best part is that it works well as a home entertainment system and outdoor gear. Thanks to DLP’s advanced IntelliBright algorithm, you are privy to remarkably bright 100 ANSI-lumen images. It also houses a 360° omnidirectional speaker, so the surround sound box is checked off. The mini projector runs on Android 7.7, so you can run streaming, and media pass like Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, etc., with superior ease.
