Been racking your brains about what to get your dad for Father’s Day?! Thinking that another tie just wont cut it anymore?! Here at Purelygadgets, its pretty easy to get inspiration from testing out new products all year round, so I am going to pass on some of this knowledge to help everyone stuck thinking of a cool gift for their father.

For any men who hate asking for directions! The newest sat-navs are easy to use, reliable and most importantly, can enable you to avoid the traffic! This is a great present for Father’s Day.
Have a look at some of these:
Navman S70 3D Sat Nav - this sat nav displays major landmarks in 3D graphics!
TomTom One XL TMC Sat Nav UK - perfect for those traffic haters and my personal favourite!
TomTom Go 930T Sat Nav (Europe/USA) - for the traveller, great for making your way around foreign countries on holiday or for business.
Garmin Zumo 550 Sat Nav - the best motorcycle navigation system around.

But if your dad is more of an activity type, then treat yourself to a sat-nav and use it to take him out on a day trip!!
For all those men who love action movies and are big kids at heart - an Apache helicopter! Probably the most precise and easy-to-fly remote controlled helicopter available. After just a little practice he’ll be able to take off, fly smooth and controlled circuits - even around obstacles - and bring it down to a bump-free landing. Great entertainment for the office or garden!

Eco-dad – Is your dad always trying to ‘reduce his Carbon footprint’ whilst covertly saving his wallet? Or the opposite, always leaving everything on and being one of the biggest contributors to global warming after the USA?! Either way, the Eco-button is a strong visual reminder and prompt for him to save electricity each time his computer is going to be left idle. Each time he takes a short break, by pressing the ecobutton™, the computer is put into energy saving ‘ecomode’. Great for when anyone wonders off to make a cup of tea!

Not just for fathers but anyone who gets stressed out!!
Simply upload a photo of your worst enemy to your PC screen (boss, mother-in-law etc.), then plug the Punch Head! Into a USB port and smack it repeatedly. The Punch Head! ultimate executive stress toy is about a thousand times more gratifying than sticking a photo on a dartboard. Punch it and it screams, punch it harder and it screams more painfully! All in good taste of course.

The ultimate summer gadget for fathers would have to be the Sony GPS-CS3KA GPS Unit Kit. This funky bit of kit is an essential accompaniment to any family holiday. It is an easy way of geotagging photos and video clips, so that whenever you use your camera, the compact GPS unit records details such as the date and place the photo was taken. When you return home, all the information is automatically uploaded to your computer and a Google Map shows you where each photo was taken!

Here are a few more ideas for those dads who can be rather difficult to please:
The Clip Sonic RA1009 Radio-Alarm Clock with Weather Station not only functions as an alarm for all those early mornings, it also lets you know the temperature outside before you’ve even left the comfort of your bed and opened the curtains!
Does your dad need to be brought into the 21st century still? How about a DAB radio?! Once he’s heard the brilliantly clear sound that digital radio provides, use this to edge him towards HDTVs! How about the Pure Elan RV-40 or the very distinguished Tivoli Audio Model DAB Radios…
