WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – Over the past year, I’ve come across hundreds of high-tech gadgets, many of which are really cool, but only a few are worthy Father’s Day gifts. Dad loves “cool” stuff, and unwrapping one of these gadgets would be a great addition to his dad’s life and maybe his year.
Here is a roundup of my top picks for dads everywhere.
The best tech gifts for dad
● Ray-Ban Meta Glasses: These aren’t your ordinary sunglasses. They come with built-in earphones and a camera that delivers amazing sound quality for music and calls. The camera is perfect for capturing natural moments without the hassle of fumbling around for your phone. Plus, they’re also equipped with AI that can identify exactly what you’re looking at. A definite upgrade over your standard Ray-Ban sunglasses.
● Dwarf Astronomy Camera: If your dad is fascinated by the stars, this camera is a dream come true. It can capture amazing images of nebulae, planets, and even solar eclipses for under $500. The Dwarf camera locks onto a subject, takes multiple photos as it rotates, and then stacks them together for a stunning final result. It’s also great for bird watching.
● Turntable: For Dad Who Loves Old Records: Vinyl records are becoming popular again, so even if your dad doesn’t have a huge album library, he can still enjoy new and vintage records from his favorite artists.
● Tabletop Robot Bartender: For the entertaining dad, the Bartesian and Bartesian Duet will be the talk of your next get-together. Simply fill the bottle with your favorite alcohol and insert a pod with bitters, syrups, and other flavorings. The Bartesian will mix your favorite cocktail. There are pods for almost every cocktail, including Old Fashioneds, Margaritas, Daiquiris, and Long Island Iced Teas. Plus, the pods contain no alcohol, so you can order them from online retailers like Amazon. Who wouldn’t want a robot that can make your drinks for you?
● Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker: Perfect for dads who like to listen to music on the go, Bose, Anker and JBL offer speakers at every price point.
● Portable Battery: They’re great for camping trips or as a backup power source at home. Many brands offer portable batteries in all sizes to power your TV, refrigerator, lights, and all your other devices. Featured brands: GoalZero, EcoFlow, Jackery.
● Star Wars Stormtrooper Helmet: These would just look cool to have on his desk or shelf, and not only would they house your Amazon Echo device to complete the look, but his Stormtrooper eyes would light up every time he asks “Alexa.”
The best Father’s Day gifts are ones that dad will use all year round, and these gifts are sure to impress any tech-loving dad.
