Here are some ideas for gifts that suit every interest and budget.

Father’s Day is a time to show appreciation for a person in your life who takes on loads of responsibility, managing household as well as family chores. You don’t have to spend too much money to show someone they matter to you. Here are some Father’s Day gifting ideas that won’t cost too much and will appeal to your dad’s techie side.

Smartwatch

Show your dad you care about his health and wellbeing as much as he cares about yours. Most smartwatches will be able to track health parameters such as daily activity, sleep, heart rate and stress. They can incentivise good habits and help detect conditions before they become problems. Prices start at under Rs. 1,000 if you consider brands such as Noise and Boat, but can cross Rs. 1,00,000 if you want more specialised and luxurious options from Apple, Garmin, and other brands.

Headphones

There’s nothing like escaping into your own world with some music, a game, or even an audiobook after a long, stressful day. Headphones and earphones are also great for multitasking throughout the day if you have to take a lot of calls or spend a long time commuting. Good in-ear true wireless earphones from OnePlus and Realme are popular these days, and can cost as little as Rs. 2,000, but over-ear headphones at around the Rs. 5,000 level from Sony or JBL might be more comfortable.

Projector

If your father figure likes movies or sports, and doesn’t often get the chance to enjoy them, a projector might be just what he doesn’t know he needs. This kind of a gift could be expensive, starting at around Rs. 15,000 for options from smaller brands that are good enough for casual viewing. For a serious home theatre setup, prices start at Rs. 50,000. 

Smart plugs

Tech-loving folks who don’t want to replace all their gadgets and appliances with new smart-home enabled ones will get a kick out of these simple smart plugs, which let anyone remote control whatever is plugged into them. From scheduling lamps to checking the power consumption of ACs, smart plugs are fun and give you peace of mind. Prices start at around Rs. 600, but check which brands support which standards. 

E-book reader

It’s hard to keep up with books, but an e-reader is much easier to carry around than a stack of novels and there’s a vast selection of free and paid e-books for every interest. Amazon’s Kindle series is popular and starts at under Rs. 8,000, but alternatives from Kobo and other brands are also available.

GPS Trackers

Tiny battery-powered location trackers from Apple, Tile and other companies can help tired dads make sure kids don’t leave stuff lying around. Besides, they can save a lot of time and stress. Prices start at around Rs. 3,000 each, but low-cost alternatives from smaller brands are also available online.

Sports massager

Help relieve the aches and pains of everyday life with a percussive massage gun. These are small enough to stash anywhere at home and can be used while sitting or lying anywhere. More premium options from HyperIce and Theragun have multiple attachments, companion apps and smart features, and can cost up to Rs. 30,000, while simpler models available online won’t set you back more than Rs. 2,000.

Handheld game console

Sure, there are plenty of games for  smartphones, but a dedicated pocket gaming console is great for reliving childhood memories and taking quick breaks whenever a chance presents itself. Simple Gameboy clones with hundreds of onboard games can be bought online for under Rs. 1,000. If you want to run today’s PC games, something much more powerful like the Asus ROG Ally will cost around Rs. 55,000.

Backup drive

There’s nothing glamorous about a hard drive, but you’ll be glad you have one if your PC ever crashes, taking all your family photos and important documents with it. Take one worry off your dad’s mind with a generously sized drive for backups. A 2TB model from WD or Seagate will cost around Rs. 7,000 while 4TB units cost around Rs. 11,000 today.

Streaming service

Rather than a single product, a year-long subscription to a streaming service based on your father’s interests could be the gift that keeps giving. Whether it’s live sports, documentaries, arthouse cinema, regional language content, anime, or even high-fidelity music, there are loads of options, both Indian and international, at a variety of price points.
