Gone are the days when you could just buy your father a random tie or some leather-clad alcohol vessel or a shaving kit. Dads want — nay, deserve — something memorable. Luckily for you, it’s not that hard to find something special that he’ll approve of, and we’re here to guide you.
We’ve curated this year’s gift list with the modern father in mind, whether he’s a gamer, creator, chef, or simply a gadget lover. There’s a lot in here we think he’ll like, from noise-canceling headphones like the Sonos Ace Ultra and an autonomous drone to a brilliant QD-OLED monitor and a nifty light that’s perfect for illuminating his next campsite. Whatever your dad is into, we’ve got you covered.
Antigravity’s A1 is the ultimate gadget for the dad who dreams of owning the sky. The compact drone comes with specialized goggles that will make him feel like he’s in the cockpit, and it records always-on, 360-degree 8K video. It’s an exhilarating flight experience and an excellent creator’s tool in one slick package.
