Small, gadgety, gift ideas?

[lucysmam]

I need something for my dad. Trouble is, he buys himself anything he wants so I always end up stumped!

Are there any inexpensive gadgets you lot can think of, that he might find useful/entertaining, that I could pick up in a quick trip to town tomorrow to buy birthday gifts for dd2?

How about a wallet ninja?

Bluetooth headphones?

One of those things which helps you find your wallet, keys etc? I can't remember what it's called.

I'll have to google what a wallet ninja is!

Bluetooth headphones might be good actually. He does like his phone & downloads books/music to it regularly.

One of those things you whistle or clap at Sand? I think they're called "key finders", I'll google that too.

Thank-you.

sterling engines are quite entertaining.

You probably couldn't get one in town, but there may just still be time to order a little one on eBay

Boots are doing a combi tool thing, which I can't find online.

Not the hammer tool, there's another one.

You'll probably have to find a Boots.

@lucysmam - No, it's not called a key finder. ... It'll come to me...

It's a Tile Mate! Phew! Got there in the end!

@WTFIsAGleepglorp - Is that that credit card type thing? I can't remember what that's called either.

Does he do any sports or hobbies you could base it on, thinking of things like a waterproof MP3 player if he swims or one of those gizmos that charges your phone based on you running.

@Lwmommy "one of those gizmos that charges your phone based on you running." Those don't have enough power to power a flashlight, let alone charge a phone. They are blatant scams. And, if he has a phone, he could use that instead of an MP3 player.

What about a solar panel thing for charging phones etc?

No, but in that gadgets you only find at Christmas section at Boots.

It's a 12 in 1 thing - bottle opener, phone holder thing. Which I can't find on the internet.

Boots are selling it now.

I'm not imagining it!

I swear, there's, like.....Oh never mind.
