The best gadget gifts for dads who have everything
This is a collaborative post.
When it comes to finding the perfect gift for a dad, a gadget is often a great choice. Most dads love gadgets that are fun, long-lasting, useful and practical.
If you want to give your dad a gift he’ll love and use for years, consider getting him a gadget that suits his interests and needs. Plenty of options include the following items that make great gift ideas.
HoverBar Duo
HoverBar Duo is the perfect gift for the dad who owns an iPhone or iPad but is always complaining he has nowhere for it to sit when he is busy.
This stand is different to others on the market at the minute. It has a flexible arm, a weighted desktop base and an adjustable shelf clamp.
Available in either black or matte white, the HoverBar Duo is perfect for those who love to cook and follow recipes on their iPad, for watching tutorials hands-free in a workshop and for those who want to be able to use their iPad hands-free.
The stand can hold an iPad or iPhone in many different positions, heights and angles due to its weighted desktop stand and shelf clamp.
It is perfect for holding an iPad at eye level for FaceTime and video conference calls. This model (2nd generation) has a QuickSwitch Tab, which allows you to switch between the desktop stand and adjustable clamp in seconds.
ActionBand for an Apple Watch
If the dad you’re looking to buy a gift for loves being active, ActionBand might be the perfect gift for him.
Wearing an ActionBand means users can keep using and wearing their Apple Watch even when sportswear, activity or equipment restricts wrist placement or causes discomfort.
ActionBand comes in a set of 2 Bands, one with a secure Watch frame for your Apple watch and one without for you to wear on your opposite wrist.
ActionBand is suitable for Apple Watch Series 4, 5, 6 and SE, and because it is made from terry cloth and lycra, it is machine-washable.
ActionSleeve for an Apple Watch
Like ActionBand, ActionSleeve is perfect for dads who love sports and exercise.
This strap is designed so that users can keep using their Apple Watch even when sportswear, equipment or activity restricts wrist placement or causes discomfort.
The band is placed on the upper arm and improves heart rate tracking because it gives you tighter skin contact than a normal watch strap. ActionSleeves’ built-in bumper will protect an Apple Watch from possible damage.
Different-sized sleeves depend on which Apple Watch you own, but they all fit arms up to 15in (38cm) and are hand-washable.
Pocketalk Translator
The Pocketalk Translator would make a great gift for a dad who likes to travel.
The device has an embedded SIM offering free data in 130+ countries for two years. It connects automatically with no additional setups or contracts and comes ready to use, so it’s perfect for those who aren’t tech-savvy.
The translator is as small as a credit card and weighs only 75g, making it incredibly easy to carry around.
It has a 2.8-inch touchscreen display, noise-cancelling microphones and speakers to ensure crystal-clear conversations.
It also has free software updates delivered regularly to keep improving usability, and it also boasts 4.5 hours of usage or up to 5.5 days in sleep mode.
This translator has accurate two-way voice translations and provides a consistently accurate experience in 82 languages, including local dialects and slang, while AI helps to improve accuracy constantly.
Its camera enables the user to take photos of signs and menus in foreign languages and then have them translated into text displayed on the large touchscreen and also read out.
The 8-megapixel auto-focus camera can read both printed and handwritten texts.
BookBook for iPhone
If you’re looking for a new phone case for your dad, look no further than BookBook. This case is also a wallet and a stand too.
BookBook for iPhone is a genuine leather wallet, hands-free display stand and iPhone case styled as a vintage book.
This latest model can be used with wireless charging and includes a beautiful leather finished case that can be removed from the BookBook wallet, meaning you have two cases in one.
The removable case is held in place with strong magnets, keeping your phone secure and allowing easy removal.
BookBook has several pockets to hold cards and cash and folds into a neat display stand for hands-free viewing.
I hope the above ideas will help you find the perfect gadget gift for your dad.
