We all know the drill. Father's Day rolls around and the parade of cliche dad gifts pour into homes across the country. Your dad's closet is already full of unneeded ties, grill brushes and golf tees.

Instead of getting a boring and predictable gift this year, try giving your dad a high-tech gadget that he’ll love and, more importantly, actually use.

Give the Gift of Headphones

If your dad is a music lover, he can appreciate a great pair of headphones. According to SheKnows.com, a quality pair of headphones will improve the sound of your dad’s favorite tunes without breaking a set budget. Although you can pay a small fortune for the best set, a good pair of headphones should fall into a reasonable price range of around $50 to $60.

Give Him a Smartphone

New smartphones have a wide range of fun games, gadgets and features that will keep your dad busy for weeks. A great option for the upcoming holiday is the new BlackBerry Z10. The latest BlackBerry phone features a long battery life, can take great pictures, has a video camera, offers a touch-screen display and has the latest 4G technology. This phone has definitely stepped up its game.

Get a Mini PC

A tech-savvy dad will always appreciate the latest and greatest technological features. According to Popular Mechanics, the UDOO Mini PC is a great gift idea for a dad who has a flare for technology and enjoys working with the latest gadgets.


The mini PC is a prototyping board that runs Linux or Android technology, so it is not the best gift if your dad is not the most technologically advanced. Since it is an open hardware gift, it might seem confusing for the dad with a limited knowledge of tech gadgets. Although it is not for every father, it does make a great gift idea for the dad with an interest in the newest advances in technology or the latest innovations.

Get an Underwater MP3 Player

Technology has finally caught up with swimmers. According to SheKnows.com, a dad with an interest in swimming is likely to enjoy the opportunity to try out an underwater MP3 player. He can listen to his favorite songs while exercising in the pool.

The Finis SwiMP3 X18 is a good choice if you want to buy an underwater MP3 player. According to Swim Outlet, the MP3 player has two GB of storage for songs and it does not have complicated wires to get in the way of a good swim. The MP3 player costs roughly $120 to $160, so it can be a pricey gadget if you are on a strict budget.
