It’s June! Which means you’ve just made it past Mother’s Day, but now you’ve got Father’s Day coming up on the 18th of the month! Worry not if you’re unprepared, because our elves (they don’t just work around the Christmas season) have curated a winning list of amazing products to wow your dad. Or maybe treat yourself to something nice if you’re a recent-father!
For the Dapper-Timepiece Dad
Undeniably the most intriguing timepiece we’ve encountered, the Bradley watch by EONE brings a tactile element to time by ditching the hands for two magnetically guided ball-bearings. You could either look at the watch to read the time, or conversely you could run your finger across the dial to ‘feel’ time move by… The latter is surely more poetic!

For the Connect-With-Nature Dad
Heimplanet is known for their rugged, resilient, roomy, yet ridiculously convenient tents. The Cave, for instance, can be manually assembled by just one person and a pump. The patented outer tube framework gets filled with air and brings the tent’s geodesic shape to life. It also helps in absorbing shock and returns to shape instantaneously if it takes a hit in bad weather. Once done, all you do is deflate the tent, roll it up, and stash it in the back of your car for another day!

For the Pensive-Penman Dad
This is the Pininfarina Cambiano Inkless Pen. It uses a nib made of a special metallic alloy called Ethergraf that can oxidize paper on touching it, effectively leaving a mark without using any graphite or ink. This also means that the pen runs forever. That should definitely have your dad going “Wow, now I’ve seen everything”. Now if that isn’t a fascinatingly great father’s day gift, kindly fax me the definition of what is!

For the Mobile-Network-Problems Dad
In all honesty, this is all of us… but somehow parents have the worst luck with technology. My parents are always complaining about how their cellphone reception isn’t the greatest and how landline telephones were the best. The LinKase Signal Boosting Case for the iPhone puts a physical antenna that can be pulled out when needed and pushed back to give you a flush case design when you’re not on a call. The LinKase by Absolute Technology boasts that its external antenna brings about a noticeable increase in cellphone reception and even mobile internet reception, so no more yelling “Can you hear me now??”.

You could buy your dad some glassware, or you could buy your dad some Levitating Glassware! The Levitating Cup by Levitating X literally floats magically off the surface of the table. Using quantum levitation technology to float, the glass holds its place, and won’t topple over if accidentally bumped into. It uses a custom base that’s available in wired and wireless formats, whereas the glass itself comes in different variants! With the floating cup, you won’t need to manually raise a toast anymore!

For the Audiophile Dad
The Trobla speaker is a delightful product to own because since most of us forget to charge our wireless Bluetooth speaker’s batteries, the Trobla was made so that it wouldn’t need one!

You’ll be surprised at how good the audio of your phone can sound when good design takes over! No headphone jack, no Bluetooth, no battery, no problem! Just lose yourself to the music!
