Level him up, not just love him up…
Dads are notoriously hard to shop for—until you realize what they really want is gear that flexes function and fun. This isn’t just about utility, it’s about giving him the kind of gadgets he’ll actually use, brag about, and pretend he totally set up without needing the manual. Let’s dive into the tech treasure chest:

LG Gram 2-in-1 Laptop
Lightweight, ultra-powerful, and slick enough to make him feel like James Bond in a coffee shop. The LG Gram 2-in-1 flips from laptop to tablet, making it perfect for dads who work hard and stream harder. Bonus points: it’s so light he might actually carry it instead of asking where his charger is.
Meta Quest 3S
Give dad an escape route—into another dimension. The Meta Quest 3S brings immersive mixed reality straight to his living room, whether he’s dodging zombies or meditating in a virtual forest. Trust us, it beats watching reruns of Antiques Roadshow.
Sony PlayStation 5
A little nostalgia, a lot of next-gen graphics. A PS5 is your way of saying, “Thanks for everything, now go beat me at FIFA.” Plus, it will make you the favourite child. Win-win.

Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses
For the dad who likes to stay ahead of the curve (and behind the shades). These AI-powered Ray-Bans let him take calls, listen to music, and snap pics—without pulling out his phone. Yes, he’s a spy now. No, you can’t borrow them.
