It’s week before Father’s Day Weekend and you haven’t found the right gift? Don’t panic, we got you covered. We’re taking a look at five products we recommend to keep the dad or grad in your life feeling appreciated. So fire up the grill, pop some bottles, and get your credit card ready.
For the Dad/Grad Who Prefers Open-Air Headphones: Sony Linkbuds Clip
The LinkBuds Clip isn’t for full background isolation like the Sony WF-1000XM6, but instead offer full environmental awareness for runners, bikers, or those who prefer to have a soundtrack to their lives without losing awareness. In our review we said:
Having used a decent number of open-ear earbuds in the past few years, the LinkBuds Clip is a nice addition to the list. They have nice sound quality in mildly loud environments and excel in quieter areas. They also feel very secure when wearing them.
You can pick the Sony LinkBuds Clip for around $230.
For the Gamer in Your Life: Turtle Beach Command Series KB7 and KP7
If you’re shopping for someone who’s idea of destressing involves frame data and stream raids, then the Turtle Beach Command Series KB7 and KP7 is sure to please. With a modular design (you can buy the keyboard with or without the KP7 number pad) and unique touchscreen display that can be used to improve productivity, the Command KB7 and KP7 is perfect for competitive gamers and spreadsheet heroes alike. You can pick one up for yourself starting at $199.
Keep Your Loved Ones Safe on the Road and Connected Outdoors: Vantrue Power’s JS3
If you have a recent grad going away to school for the first time, a reliable emergency roadside kit is vital. The Vantrue Power JS3 provides a central piece of your roadside kit in a small, easy-to-operate all-in-one design. In my review, I said:
The Vantrue JS3 has helped me reclaim some trunk space thanks to its all-in-one design and included carrying case. My Kia Forte5 is used for carrying around my photography gear, my 10-year-old nephew, and my wife and I on everything from store runs to road trips, being able to have everything we in case of an emergency in a compact case (it’s less than foot in volume) makes this a must have for your car or truck.
Since picking up the JS3, I’ve completely replaced my old single task components and upgraded. You should too, especially since it’s currently on sale for $160.
Movie Nights are Better with the XGIMI Vibe One
XGIMI makes some of the best portable projectors hands down. The XGIMI Vibe One continues this trend with bright, fun-looking, and easy to carry Full-HD projector. With a 250 ISO lumens rating and tuned JBL speakers, the Vibe One can turn any at-home (or outdoor) movie night into a full experience.
In our review, we said:
It became my go-to for casual viewing. Late-night YouTube sessions. Quick Netflix runs. Situations where I didn’t want to commit to sitting at a primary display.
A no-setup, full-HD projector for only $250? Sign us up.
Work Smarter with the Mammotion Luba 3 AWD 3000H Robot Lawn Mower
This one is decidedly in the luxury/ “we REALLY love you” category – the Mammotion Luba 3 AWD 3000H. As an apartment dweller in New York City, I don’t think I’ll ever need a robot lawn mower but if I had a lawn, this would be the one I’d buy. In our review, we said:
The Mammotion Luba 3 AWD 3000H is a fantastic, premium addition to the brand’s lineup and further cements my appreciation for what they are doing in the automation space. It cuts beautifully, handles raw terrain like an off-road buggy, and dropping the requirement for a physical yard antenna entirely makes rapid deployment a reality.
At an MSRP of $2800, the Mammotion Luba 3 AWD is definitely the priciest item on this list, but I’m sure your favorite dad or grad will appreciate you thinking of their weekends where they can set this bad boy on autopilot while they can enjoy life instead.
