Tech Corner: Father’s Day Gifts for Your Nerdy Dad!
Mandy Mac
Oh no! Did you just realize this Sunday is Father’s Day? Only yesterday we were shoveling our cars out of the snow! Where is the time going? Needless to say, it is now (almost) mid-June and Father’s day is around the corner! Did you wait until last minute and are now stuck on what you can get your dad? We understand that shopping for him can be difficult; especially if your dad is into gadgets you have no clue about. That is why we put together a list of dorky gifts that will be perfect for your nerdtastic dad!
The Smartphone Dad: Is your dad always on his phone? Is he always in search for a charger? Get him the external charging phone case. Amazon has them in all colors for almost every model phone. All he needs to do is charge the case at night and he will be set for the next day’s battery life.
The Rearview Mirror Bluetooth Speakerphone would be perfect for your dad as well. It displays incoming calls right on the mirror and has a removable Bluetooth headset on the side for speakerphone conversations, or in-ear use. This mirror also clamps over the already existing rearview mirror, so there is no difficult installations. Now you do not have to worry about your dad unsafely answering the phone while he is driving.
The Barbecuing Dad: You know what we are talking about: the dad’s who does not allow anyone else by his grill; they do all the barbecuing during summer’s pool parties. Unless, your dad the one who cannot grill to save his life? Either way, get him the Talking Digital Grill Thermometer. It is a wireless thermometer that measure in three different levels: rare, medium rare, medium, and well done, and will alert him when the meat is ready.
Another great barbecue themed gift is the Grillbot. It is a Roomba for the grill! No more scrubbing at the grill gates, hoping they are clean enough. All dad has to do is just put the grillbot on the grill when he is done cooking for the day and allow it to work its magic! The self cleaner comes in 4 different colors.
The Couch Potato Dad: The dad that spends hours watching T.V should get a universal remote. We recommend the Logitech Harmony Touch Universal Remote. It works with AV systems, game consoles, and television sets. It is compatible with Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS operating systems. It has Bluetooth and supports up to 8 devices.
If your dad has a favorite T.V or movie series, think about buying him a collector’s edition pack! It is better than buying each season one at a time, and it comes in these stellar-looking, fan-approved boxes!
The Easy Going Dad: Finally, if your dad is simple when it comes to gifts, head over to ThinkGeek.com and purchase ties! They have a large selection of geeky ties: Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and even technology theme ties! Our favorite is the ‘Ties Suck’ tie. It is a blue tie with binary code (text or computer processor instructions) that reads, “Ties sucks”!
