6 Great Gadget Gifts for Dad

So you say you have a dad who is a gaga for gadgets? Is he especially fond of those electronic ones that do everything but wash the dishes and mop the floor? I've discovered a few items to present to dad on Father's Day that will keep him fascinated for hours on end.

You may be concerned that dad will forget what you look like as he tinkers with his new toys. Fear not! There are wide ranges of digital photo frames available ranging in price from $79.99 and up. Miniature digital photo frames start at $39.99. Dad can customize slideshows of his favorite photos and some models allow music to be played as well.

Surely your voice is music to dad's ears, right? Of course, but there may be times when he just wants to hear television or music without interruption. Give him a pair of noise canceling earphones. Prices start at around $49.99. A pair of these headphones will reduce the ambient noise that surrounds a person and lets them hear what they are listening to without raising the volume significantly.

If dad is constantly in front of his computer, he may find that his coffee gets cold quickly. Now he can keep it warm with the USB powered mug warmer. The plus to this useful gizmo is that it also serves as a hub with four extra USB ports so you don't have to disconnect anything you need just to keep your coffee warm. This handy gift starts at around $12.99.

For a dad who likes to watch the weather, there is the Professional Wireless Weather Station. Starting at $169.99, this will serve as dad's own personal meteorologist with weather information that is specific to his area.

What about a water powered clock and calculator that dad can amaze friends and family with? They may look sideways at him at first, but all he has to do is show them this nifty desk set that is powered for up to two months by one filling of its water chamber. The price is right too. These start at $9.99 per set.
