TechRadar Picks 16 Practical Tech Gifts for Dads Who Want Nothing

TechRadar's Father's Day guide highlights 16 practical tech gifts for dads who say they need nothing.

The guide said many standard presents, such as novelty mugs or gadgets that end up in a drawer, are not ideal for a dad who already buys what he needs or is hard to shop for. Instead, it recommended compact chargers, Bluetooth trackers, better headphones, coffee equipment and fitness tech. The selections were based on products TechRadar has tested or recommended, along with discounted options, so they offer good value at the time of writing.

Among the headline picks, the guide listed the Iniu P50 45W 10,000mAh power bank at AU$29.99 as the best everyday gift, the Iniu 2m USB-C cable at AU$11.39 as the best affordable gift, and the 70mai A510 dash cam at AU$179.98 as the best practical upgrade. The Anker Nano Charger 70W at AU$49.98 was named the best last-minute gift, while the De’Longhi Dedica Arte Espresso Machine at AU$196.95 was recommended for coffee lovers and the Ninja Swirl by Creami at AU$354.99 as a splurge option.

Other products in the guide included a Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 for locating misplaced keys or bags, AirPods 4 as an everyday upgrade for iPhone users with older earbuds, and the TP-Link Tapo C660 Kit, a 4K security camera with local microSD storage and a solar panel. The 70mai A510 dash cam was described as an “all-round surveillance solution,” with front and rear cameras, built-in GPS and simple installation. For those who work or game at a desk, the guide cited the Sihoo M102C-M101 office chair for adjustability and breathable materials, though TechRadar said it had not reviewed that exact model. It also suggested the Logitech Z313 speaker system for an inexpensive desk audio upgrade.

For shoppers short on time, TechRadar said its last-minute Father’s Day gift ideas covered gift cards and other options that do not require delivery. It also pointed to Amazon’s bestseller lists, especially electronics bestsellers, as an easy way to find low-cost USB cables, chargers, power banks and other essentials.

The guide did not give a specific date for Father's Day in the material provided, but the publication date suggests the advice was intended for the 2026 observance. Readers are advised to check current availability and prices, as the listed discounts may have changed.
