Amazon’s early Prime Day deals include some great Father’s Day gifts

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 firmly in last-minute gift territory a few days ahead of Sunday, but Amazon’s same-day, next-day, and two-day shipping gives you enough time to snag something great for Dad. 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 solid 30% 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 47%.

Best kitchen deal

Why we like it

Summer is all about cool treats. If your dad loves a bowl of ice cream for dessert every night, the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker is a perfect gift. On sale for only $66.99, dad will be able to make every flavor imageable without hassle thanks to the ease of the Cuisinart. It can make ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet, sherbet, and even frozen drinks. And while it would technically be a gift for dad, you know that 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.

Best fitness earbuds deal

Why we like it

Read Mashable’s full review of the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 sports earbuds.

If the dad in your life likes to head to the gym, takes the dog on walks, or goes for runs, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are perfect. They’re Mashable’s favorite earbuds for working out and they happen to be on sale for 20% off ahead of Father’s Day. The noise-cancelling earbuds get up to 45 hours of listening time with the included charging case. Of course, they’re sweat and water-resistant, and they come in a few fun colorway options.

Best robot lawn mower deal

Why we like it

If dad is in charge of mowing the lawn but doesn’t love the chore, he might love upgrading to a robot lawn mower. None of these come cheap, so perhaps this can be a group gift, but the Ecovacs Goat 0100 robot lawn mower is on sale for $699. It can cover yards up to 0.25 acres and it also comes with automated mapping, similar to what we’re used to with robot vacuums. Its narrow body of 2.3 feet is great for passing through small areas and you can select the ideal mowing height between 1.2 and 3.1 inches.
