Gaming headsets
The gaming world advances quickly, and your dad could remain behind without the right equipment. To ensure his leisure time doesn’t disturb everyone’s quiet time, get him a pair of these INZONE H3 wired gaming headsets. You can get these for R1 299 on Takealot.
Electric shaver
Is your dad hoping to achieve a flawless look after shaving his beard? This might be the thing for him. The fourth generation Lawn Mower trimmer comes with replaceable ceramic blades, adjustable guard sizes, a wireless charging system, and is waterproof. This lawn mower alone will cost you R1 900 on Manscaped.
Apple Watch
Smartwatches do so much more than keep track of time. Depending on which smartwatch you get, you’re guaranteed access to multiple apps for entertainment, communication productivity, and even keeping track of your health, among other things.
With the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple promises to sense dad’s temperature and detect crashes to help in an emergency, among other things. The smartwatch will set you back R10 199 at the iStore.
Surround sound
Getting your dad the right sound system is essential, especially if he loves watching football, movies, and music. This HT-S40R soundbar will not only enhance viewing pleasure and turn the living room into a home theatre but will also elevate the living room's aesthetic. You can buy it at HIFICorp for R4 999.
Gaming keyboard
Old membrane keyboards are a thing of the past. Now might be the time to update your dad’s battle station with a new mechanical gaming keyboard. The Astrum Backlit Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard will set you back R449 at Makro.
GoPro Hero 10 Black
Dads who are into photography need the right equipment that provides quality and durability. The GoPro 10 is the perfect gift since it’s small, waterproof, and can take photos almost anywhere. You can get one for R8 199 on Takealot.
Projector
Dad can easily turn any boring day into an impromptu movie night with a portable projector. The Connex Lumen series 1080P Projector offers integrated wifi connectivity and allows you to project a presentation, movie, or anything else by cable, USB, or cast from your device.
