Looking for unique gifts for Dad for Christmas? Check out our top 5 tech Christmas gift guide ideas Dads will sure to love. What Dad doesn’t like gadgets?
Everyone knows that besides a dog, tech is a dad’s best friend.
With literally tens of thousands of new gadgets being introduced each year, there are countless devices he is unaware that even exist.
Whether Dad is a camper or a wine connoisseur, we have him covered in our top 5 Christmas Gift Ideas for Dad. Surprise him with something special this year.
Food Network Electric Corkscrew
Here’s a useful gift for Dad. Food Network makes an electric wine opener useful for any wine lover.
Available in red, silver, and black, the Food Network Electric Corkscrew is rechargeable and can gently pull both natural and synthetic corks with just one button.
The Electric Corkscrew gives off a blue glow about it, adding to the fun and allure of opening a good bottle of wine.
It comes with a base to keep it in that doubles as a foiler cutter to prep the cork.
Simply plug in the charger into a wall outlet and plug the other end into the electric corkscrew. Each charge can open up to 30 bottles!
Dad will love the simplicity of using only one button to uncork a bottle and unscrew the cork. Uncorking made simple.
Now he can spend more time pouring and less time working to unscrew the cork!
The Food Network Electric Corkscrew is on sale now from Kohl’s for $27.99 plus shipping. Shipping is free with a $25+ purchase.
My Passport 4 TB Hard Drive
Dad will appreciate the WD My Passport 4 TB Hard Drive. Why? Because it makes saving data, backing up data, and moving data so easy.
Thumb drives are nice, but they cannot hold the amount of data My Passport provides.
If Dad takes responsibility for the sustainability of the data in the home (music, pictures, videos, documents), My Passport is a perfect place to back up data with its included WD Backup software data for a single or multiple computers (if networked).
If someone runs out of space on their computer and you’re not ready to buy a new one yet, My Passport adds up to 5 TB space to your PC. Most PCs only have 1 or 2 TB’s.
If Dad transfers data back and forth between home and work, My Passport makes it easy.
If Dad has a very large presentation to give, he just needs to plug in My Passport into a laptop, PC, or TV to access his large file.
No need to try to drop the large presentation in a cloud, fit it on a cramped internal laptop hard drive, or take things out of the presentation. My Passport is the solution.
Available in 1, 2, 4, and 5 TB size and in 3 colors – red, blue, and black ranging in price from $59 to $149. The 2TB and 4TB are currently on sale for $69.99 and $109.99 respectively directly from WD.
OneClip Mobile Lens Clip for Phones, Tablets, & PCs
HITCASE makes some great mobile lenses designed to add DSLR type lens capability to mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and PCs. Sometimes Dad doesn’t have his full DSLR camera with him.
Having some phone camera lenses in his pocket gives him extended functionality not normally available with a phone.
HITCASE offers three lenses:
- TrueLUX Macro Lens – captures detail with 3 times the magnification to better see where your phone camera can’t
- TrueLUX Wide Lens – captures 2x more of your extended family, landscape, or travel pictures than a standard shot
- TrueLUX SuperWide Lens – sees an even wider field of view – capture scenery, landmarks, and amazing sunsets
Before today, the only way you could use these lenses is if you bought a HITCASE iPhone case. HITCASE only made iPhone cases, so Android users were out of luck.
Now, HITCASE has come out with its universal OneClip, a lightweight aluminum lens clip that allows you to screw on the lenses and clip them onto any phone, laptop, tablet, or PC.
Why does Dad need HITCASE for the PC or laptop you ask? So when conference calling, the people on the other side can see a wider picture of who’s in the room with him. Smart.
Each OneClip Mobile Lens sells for $39.99 and the OneClip sells for $14.99 plus shipping on the HITCASE website.
luminAID PackLite Hero 2-in-1 Supercharger & LED Lantern
The luminAID PackLite Hero is both an LED inflatable lantern as well as a device charger. It comes packaged at only 1 inch flat.
Just blow it up and charge it up and you have a super bright lantern to lighten up any tent, table or sitting area outside, or dark pathway during a moonlight hike. It can light up an area of up to 300 sq. ft.
With a built-in solar panel, you can charge the light up with 16 hours of direct sunlight or charge it via USB in 2-4 hours. The PackLite Hero has four settings of brightness to accommodate how it’s being used.
In addition, its 4,000mAh battery can be used to charge your phone or tablet too. At only 9.4 oz. and PVC free, the PackLite Hero is perfect to take to the beach or even for the kids to do their homework in the car at night.
The velcro Lycra strap is designed to be used in multiple ways as a handle, a hook to hang the light up with or to hang on a backpack, and to help keep the lantern flat when deflated.
Dad will love the versatility of this LED lantern – whether camping, road tripping, or checking the electricity panel at night while at home.
The luninAID PackLite Hero 2-in-1 Supercharger & LED Lantern is currently on sale for $55.99 plus shipping from luminAID.
Lenovo Smart Display 7
The Lenovo Smart Display 7 is an enhanced Google Assistant device complete with a 1024 x 600 resolution touch screen display, avideo camera, and two front-facing 1.5 in 5W speakers.
The Lenovo Smart Display 7 is a new size for Lenovo, allowing for a smaller footprint, suitable for offices, bedside stands, and kitchens.
It combines the functionality of the Google Home smart speaker along with the display so Dad can watch YouTube, see the weather, see maps, make video calls using Duo, and see the latest sports scores.
In addition, Dad can see visual information for restaurants nearby, play his favorite Spotify or Pandora tunes, set alarms, timers, and reminders, and listen to the latest news highlights.
While we love the Lenovo Smart Display 10, its smaller sibling’s size makes it more versatile as to where it can be placed.
It has a nice contemporary look to it with its soft gray fabric speakers and minimalist approach.
The Lenovo Smart Display 7’s camera can also be manually switched off.
Best yet, Dad can hook up all of his favorite smart home tech to be controlled from his voice using the smart display and the Google Home app.
The Lenovo Smart Display 7 is available through B&H Photo for $99.99 including shipping. This is a $30 special savings available only during the holidays.
