This Sunday will be a Father’s Day like none we’ve experienced before, as some of us may have had to spend a lot of time away from our loved ones for the sake of protecting them from the coronavirus. Now that some of the restrictions are starting to be lifted however, there’s more activities that can be carried out, meaning more options out there for Father’s Day. We’ve compiled a list of our top three tech gift ideas that work while social distancing, so that your dad can make the most of lockdown this Father’s Day.
If your dad likes tech (we certainly do), then why not go for a pair of wireless headphones? Wireless headphones are useful for listening to music while doing an activity, such as exercising or gardening. It’s great to be able to go round the house without the cable snagging on a door or cupboard handle, or having them yanked out of your ears. We recommend the Anker Soundcore wireless headphones, available to buy on Amazon.
Now’s the ideal time to buy your dad a fitness tracker if you were thinking of getting him one, as Fitbit have recently released their latest Versa model, the Fitbit Versa 2. The release of this model has decreased the price of former models and fitness trackers from other brands, so you should be able to find a good deal. We recommend the Fitbit Inspire HR, which you can get from Currys.
Voice assistant and smart speaker technology has been around for a while, but it has taken off immensely in recent years with Alexa quickly becoming a household name (or even a digital member of the household). Rather than one of these products though, you could keep it simple and go for a waterproof Bluetooth speaker which would make the perfect addition to a summer barbecue. Sometimes it's better to just listen to music without someone interrupting to ask Alexa a question every two minutes.
A smart speaker that we recently gave away in our summer giveaway is the Anker SoundCore 2, available to buy on Amazon.
Whatever you decide to do this Father’s Day, just make sure that you stay safe and adhere to the social distancing guidelines. We hope you have a great weekend.

Our mobile phone acts as a way of payment, communication and even the thing that makes sure we’re up on time in the morning. So when this fails us, everything becomes very limited which is why we’ve put together a list of mobile phones with the best battery life in 2024.
The cost of smartphones nowadays is quite extraordinary ranging anywhere from £300 to over £1600 for the flagship devices. So the big question is, how can we extend the lifespan of them and how can we begin to adopt sustainable smartphone use?
We’ve got all the do’s and don'ts when it comes to dealing with old phones on your hands. From understanding how you can check the value of your device, how you can figure out whether it has become obsolete and all the reasons why you should not bin it!
