Father's Day gifts - our pick of the best

Every day should be Father's Day in our eyes, but it's nice to have that one dedicated date where we get to spoil our beloved Dads. This Sunday marks a special day when we can show them how much we appreciate their awesomeness.

Below are a selection of thoughtful and useful gifts that will make their day. And the best news? You can still order them all now and get them in time  for the big day...

If Dad's a tech fan, what better gift could you give than a powerful, hands-free, voice-controlled box that can control all his smart home devices? It may be no bigger than a beer mat, but it can play music, read the news, report on the weather, update on the latest sports scores and control gadgets like Hive and Nest smart thermostats and Philips Hue lightbulbs.

The small but mighty Echo Dot uses Alexa Voice Service to deliver all your needs with a simple spoken request. Dad might like to try, 'Alexa, what's the latest test match score?'

This fabulous device is a great gift for the modern man to keep him up to date with the world. The beauty of it being from Amazon is the speedy service – if you're a Prime customer, you can order today & get it tomorrow, in plenty of time for Sunday!

If Dad likes his music, he will love a pair of headphones. This quality Sony design offers superb sound quality, with the bonus of noise-cancelling technology to eradicate 98% of ambience noise. They're just the thing for blocking out chatter on his commute, or rocking out in his armchair without disturbing Mum.

Thanks to a clever NFC chip, this set is Bluetooth ready, allowing Dad to stream his favourite playlists and podcast from his Android or iOS device. And because we know comfort is just as important to Dads as the tech spec comfort factor, you'll be pleased to know the softly padded over-ear design ensures a thoroughly enjoyable user experience all round. A two-year guarantee is included. Order today and take advantage of the Click & Collect service to pick up in store tomorrow.
