Tech SAVVY: Gadgets for Father's Day

Published: Saturday | June 20, 2009


Let your Father's Day gift tell dad how much you are thinking about him.

Silent night

Dad may take turns with the baby but when it's Mummy's turn he may want to listen to something that will soothe his mind. Music is a great outlet to calm him down when he is not engrossed in his fatherly duties. He will want music at the tips of his fingers. A portable MP3 player with USB is a good choice. He can easily plug into the PC, transfer music and be on his way.

Dad on the go

Sometimes you are trying to get in touch with him, and his phone just runs out of charge. A vehicle telephone charger is a must-have for those dads who are always on the go.

Oh Mother!

If he is a proud father, he will always want photo of his children at hand for those times when he will be far way. Perhaps he wants to capture the priceless moment of his child taking those first steps. Not only will he get to take photos with this device, he will also be able to play music. Isn't that great? An MP4 player with camera.

Play on Pictures

Let's face it, he may not be the one that begins the baby stories when you invite your new girlfriend or boyfriend over, but he will always have some embarrassing photos to show. That's OK, those are the things we must appreciate about Dad. So if he doesn't have a camera to start a new collection, maybe you should try getting him one.

Baby boom

The older Baby gets, the more Daddy will share with him, perhaps one of the first things will be his music. His iPod or MP3 player has all the music he needs but he needs quality speakers to share it. The best gadget for the baby's room is a lightweight MP3 speaker adapter. He can play with the baby and listen to music at the same time. If he needs it in other areas of the home, he can just grab it up after the baby is asleep.
