Table of Contents

The question of what to gift dad for Father’s Day is back again. Year after year, it never gets easier to find the perfect gift. Whether you’re shopping for Dad, Grandpa, a stepdad, or the nice guy down the street, take note that Father’s Day is June 21 this year.

We’re not in the chaos of last-minute shopping yet, but snagging something this weekend means you’ll likely have reassurance that your gift will arrive on time. Ahead of Prime Day, Amazon has a major selection of sales that’ll work great for Father’s Day. Below are some of our favorites to shop this weekend.

Best Bluetooth speaker deal

Why we like it

Sitting at a major 49% discount, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 will make for a great Father’s Day gift. In Mashable’s guide to the best Bluetooth speakers, the UE Wonderboom 4 earns the top spot as the best option under $100. Thanks to this early Prime Day deal, it’s on a significant discount. Mashable’s review explains, “This speaker’s small (and rugged enough) to take along for a hike, while traveling, and for tossing next to the pool.” Since it’s waterproof, it’s also a great option for using as a shower speaker.

Best portable power station deal

Why we like it

Over the past few years, I’ve tested dozens of portable power stations, and the Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 is the one I use the most. I’d rather overestimate my power needs than run short, which is why I head out with 2048Wh of battery capacity with the C2000 Gen 2. It’s still portable enough to take for a weekend of camping without being too heavy to carry around. I also love the dual high-powered USB-C ports that can reach 140W. It’s also quick to recharge, taking under one hour to go from totally dead to full power. Since I tend to decide last-minute to go camping (I’m a fair-weathered camper), the quick charging is super useful if I haven’t planned in advance.

Dad is sure to find uses for the Solix C2000 Gen 2, from camping to yard work or for keeping the house powered up during the next storm. Shop today at Amazon and you’ll be saving 50%.

Best kitchen deal

Why we like it

Who doesn’t love a frozen beverage? The Ninja Slushi needs no ice and hardly any time to slushify almost any liquid. Dad can toss some cans of Coke in there to have a refreshing beverage, whip up a batch of frozen margs for the barbecue, or go for the title of making the world’s best milkshake. Using code SLUSH at checkout will get you the Ninja Slushi for $233.99. And while it would technically be a gift for dad, you know you’ll benefit, too.

Best water bottle deal

Why we like it

For the dad who’s always forgetting to drink water, gift him Mashable’s favorite water bottle. The Owala FreeSip allows for both tipping the water bottle up to take a big glug or sipping through the built-in straw. In Mashable’s review of the Owala FreeSip, Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino said, “The FreeSip’s insulation really is impeccable, offering 24 hours of cold. I’ve filled mine up with ice and water to come back a day later and still find the jingle of full ice cubes. Plus, the two-part locking lid can also double as a loop for easy carrying. Cleaning is also easy with the FreeSip.”

The 32-ounce version of the FreeSip usually sells for $34.99, but Amazon has select colorways on sale for $27.97 or $27.99.

Best Lego deal

Why we like it

If the father figure in your life is a Star Wars fan and also enjoys building a Lego set, it’s a win-win to snag the Lego Star Wars R2-D2. The build will look great on a bookshelf or on a desk, and the 25th anniversary edition features a Darth Malak minifigure.
