Gifts For Early Adopter Dads!
Is your Dad tech savvy? Has he always been an early adopter? My dad has. He bought high tech gifts for us when we were little…I think most of them might have been for him too!
We had one of the first handheld calculators, it cost $99 and today you could pick up one from the dollar store that had similar functions. He bought one of the first home computer (a Radio Shack Tandy). We had one of the original home video games (Pong). As kids, my brother and I had one of the first black and white portable TVs, we rolled it between our rooms on a portable TV stand.
So you know, with my dad just turning 80 this year, I am eyeing all kinds of tech savvy equipment for him. So look at what just arrived for Father’s Day and all your summer fun at Best Buy…

I could see myself loving this toy. I could see my two grown boys loving it even more. 😉
This drone is so cool! I am sure my husband would just love this as a gift. I am sure I would love playing with it too!
I don’t know who would love this more..my husband or me!
This looks so amazing! My hubby is going to love this! We’ve never had a drone before.
My husband is somewhat tech savvy. Right now he is on TV’s, but this would be great too. I had no idea the ones on the market were so advanced. What fun people could have!
I wouldn’t purchase a drone for myself or anyone I know, but it would probably be of use to a photographer or videographer.
Wow, I feel old even though I am in my early 30s when I see stuff like this. I still remember how cool it was to have a portable tv with one of those long antennas or Zach from SBTB having that massive cell phone. This gadget looks like something my hubby would love!
My hubby would love this… I can just imagine the shenanigans he would get into. Haha.
My Dad wouldn’t have a clue what to do with a drone but my brother really wants one.
Isn’t the technology available just so amazing! This looks like an incredible gift for the gadget lover!
wow! This looks so cool! My husband would love it!
My dad was just like that too… always having the latest and greatest. I guess that is why I got along with my Hubby so much, LOL… This solo drone has to be one of the coolest things out there 🙂
My husband would love this! He loves his GoPro so I know this drone would be right u his alley. What a great Father’s Day gift.
I still remember playing around on my family’s Commodore 64! Technology sure has come a long way and drones are awesome.
It is pretty amazing what technology can do these days.
Talk about serious fun – can you see the scenery shots that would come from the farm? Maybe the hubby could get it to soar with the eagles.
My Dad does love his tech gadgets. But, I love them even more so if I bought this for him it probably wouldn’t make it out of my living room! I want a GoPro and this would make that even better!
I’m not sure my father would enjoy it. He’s not all that into tech. I know my husband would though!
I’m amazed and scared with where technology is headed.
wow! This looks like so much fun! I would love this. I know the men in my family would also. thanks for the cool share.
