Inexpensive gadget type ideas for dads

[foilflower]

Hi,

I have a budget of £25-30. Previous successes have been the floating magnetic globes, build your own engine and robot arms and airfix models. Also games like addict-a-ball.

Any similar ideas will be gratefully received! Thanks :)

Also, I remember a few years ago getting a sort of telescopic magnetic thing from screwfix for about £3... For picking up fiddly little bits like screws.

Finally, a Gridit might go down well.

Fantastic ideas - thank you both very much. Exactly the type of thing I was after; I can see him liking every one of those - decisions decisions!

I had never heard of Ugears before and they look right up his street.

I think I might be sorted for Christmas, his birthday and Father’s Day!
