What can you get the dad who has everything? As it turns out, plenty when it comes to tech. The great thing about tech when it comes to gifting is that the category is always evolving. This means even if dad just got something cool for himself last year, chances are there’s something new he might like to try or add to his set-up in his home theatre, home office, or for use on the go. Here, we have rounded up some great Father’s Day tech gift ideas for the dads on your list.
UGREEN Magnetic Power Bank
If dad is constantly on the go, traveling for work or perhaps even commuting long distances to and from the office on public transit, he’ll appreciate this 10,000mAh magnetic power bank. Able to recharge an iPhone 15 Pro 1.9 times, what makes this portable charger stand out is that it connects to your MagSafe-enabled device via strong 10N magnet, so no cables are needed – not even a built-in one. There’s also a wired port if desired for a non-MagSafe device or charging a second device at the same time. Perfect for keeping in his briefcase, backpack, or even pocket, the power bank is just US$70.
Realforce R2 Mechanical Keyboard
Perfect for the work-from-home dad, the RealForce R2 mechanical keyboard will be a welcome addition to his set-up, allowing for propping his laptop up for a more ergonomic view while being able to tap away on this full-sized keyboard. Use while programming or gaming, it keeps up with quick keystrokes, requires just a gentle press to register one, and includes a contoured frame and key settings for smooth movement. Not having a number pad means the keyboard is also ultra-compact so dad can pack it in his bag to bring to the office or hotel for travel, too. Want the chance to win one for you or dad? Enter our contest, which runs through June 20, 2024, for your shot at winning one of two we’re giving away to lucky winners. The keyboard is valued at about $390.
DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Handheld Gimbal Camera
Content creating dads will love playing around with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. The handheld gimbal camera is super-easy to use, compact, and with the Creator Combo, comes with everything he’ll need to shoot cool videos, from a mini tripod to a mic, mic clip, battery handle, and more. Rotate the OLED screen to go from TikTok-friendly portrait to YouTube-friendly widescreen mode and use your phone as a remote monitor. He can create compelling videos instantly from captured footage using the LightCut app, including adding text, animations, music, and more. Check out my Instagram at @christinetechca to get an idea of how the videos can look. If dad is starting to amass followers on his entertaining Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook account, he can even use this camera for livestreaming. He won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend the Creator Combo, which sells for $899.
Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 Over-Ear Sound Isolating Bluetooth Headphones
Young, hip dads (or dads who strive to feel young and hip!) will love these Bluetooth headphones, which they can wear to immerse themselves in music, block out ambient noises while working, or enjoy video games during downtime. Featuring active noise cancelling (ANC) technology, they run for up to 60 hours per charge and come in a foldable design, easy for tucking into a backpack, briefcase, or carry-on for travel. Leather cushions provide a comfortable fit while support for Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa make it easy to control by voice. There’s even built-in Tile finding in case dad loses or misplaces them, along with one-tap access to Spotify. Use the Skull IQ app for smart control, customizable EQ, and more. Want to win a pair? Enter our contest for your chance to snag one, valued at $300.
Kensington Contour Laptop Backpack
Dad can travel to work in style with the Kensington Contour Laptop Backpack, which offers adjustable lumbar support, shifting weight to your hips to help reduce fatigue. This combines with padded, contoured shoulder straps so he can comfortably wear the backpack while traveling, commuting, and more. He can easily access his computer from the flap-free pocket and organize smaller items in the front pocket. With a carry handle that can also be used to hang the case from a wheeled bag for travel, it also has an expandable bottle holster and headphone port. Made of 1680 Denier Ballistic Nylon, it’s protected against abrasions, punctures, and tears so dad can confidently bring it as his carry-on or personal item while traveling. The backpack sells for about US$70 but we’re giving away two so you can win one for you and one for dad. Enter our contest for your chance to win!
Sonos Ace Headphones

If dad is a lover of everything Sonos, he’ll appreciate the Sonos Ace, the brand’s first pair of headphones. The long-anticipated headphones offer premium features like wireless connectivity, ANC, spatial audio support, long 30-hour battery life, and more. But the feature dad will most appreciate, especially if he has a compatible Sonos soundbar, is TV Audio Swap. With this feature set up in the app, dad just needs to press the content button on the headphones to seamlessly swap audio from the soundbar to the ‘phones and vice versa. It’s great for late-night TV watching or gaming so he doesn’t disturb other sleeping family members. The feature works beautifully, and sound is immersive, especially thanks to dynamic head tracking. With this feature, as dad moves his head from side to side, the audio follows so he never misses a beat and always feels as though he’s at the centre of the action. Grab them for $600. Right now, TV Audio Swap only works with the Sonos Arc soundbar ($1,099, on sale at the time of this writing for $879), but Sonos is working on adding compatibility for other models as well.
Happy Father’s Day shopping!
