Let’s face it, dads come in all shapes and sizes, and no matter what kind of dad you’re celebrating this year, one thing’s clear: we want them to feel safe, connected, and a little spoiled. This isn’t about the usual socks or “World’s Best Dad” mug (sorry, Dad). It’s about gifts that say, “I’ve got your back”, literally and figuratively. If you need a reminder, Father’s Day is on Sunday 7 September 2025 this year.
Whether he’s behind the wheel, off-grid in the bush, glued to his gadgets, or just trying to find his keys before the morning coffee kicks in, we’ve curated tech and tools that keep Dad protected and plugged in. From Navman’s crystal-clear dash cams that capture every angle of the road, to rugged GME radios for when the phone drops signal, plus smart Bluetooth trackers for the “where did I leave that again?” moments — we’ve got him covered.
And because home is where the heart (and the WiFi) is, there’s everything from Ring’s watchful doorbells to Belkin’s slick charging stations to keep Dad’s domain safe and his devices ready to roll. Oh, and if Dad needs a moment of zen or a good read, we’ve got that too — no judgment if it’s with headphones cranked and a Kindle in hand.
No fluff. No filler. Just smart, useful gifts that say, “I’ve got your back” all year long.
Stay tuned because we are going to have a giveaway for Father’s Day. Details are coming soon.

Tineco Carpet One Cruiser | A$799 (RRP $999) | Available from Tineco, Harvey Norman and Costco (from 9 September until 21 September 2025) [Edited 29 August 2025]
Tineco has expanded its floorcare range in Australia to include the all new Carpet One Cruiser – an exciting new carpet cleaner developed to make everyday carpet care at home both effortless and effective. The Carpet One Cruiser integrates SmoothPower Technology and bi-directional assist-wheels which improve manoeuvrability across carpeted surfaces. Combined with a repositioned water tank, less effort is required by the user to push and pull the appliance during the carpet cleaning process. It also incorporates clever high temperature PowerDry Technology that extracts water powerfully and dries washed carpets with 75°C heated air to accelerate the drying process. It reduces drying time by 50% or more compared to traditional models, helping to prevent mould and mildew and allowing carpeted areas to be used sooner. The Carpet One Cruiser also includes additional cleaning tools for spot cleaning. For hands-free maintenance, the Carpet One Cruiser features Tineco’s proprietary FlashDry Technology – an automatic, two-minute self-cleaning cycle that flushes the brush, suction inlet, and roller cover, followed by a five-minute 55°C flash drying cycle that completely dries each component, preventing odours. Plus, iLoop Smart Sensors to automatically adjust water flow and suction power based on the level of dirt and debris detected.
Tineco FLOOR ONE S6 FlashDry | A$599 (RRP $899) | Available from Tineco, JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys
The Tineco FLOOR ONE S6 FlashDry Smart Wet Dry Vacuum features a Balanced-Pressure Water Flow System that washes floors with fresh water while efficiently recycling dirty water at 450 washes per minute. The FlashDry Self-Cleaning System utilises hot water (70°C) to dissolve stains and deep clean from the brush roll to the pipes, followed by hot air drying (also at 70°C) for a complete clean with reduced odour. Effortless cleaning is achieved with a self-propulsion system that assists in pushing movements. Plus, the intelligent iLoop™ technology optimises water usage, dirty water levels, and battery power for an impressive 40-minute runtime. And to ensure no spot is missed, the dual-sided edge cleaning reaches within 1cm of baseboards on both sides. You can check out Kevin’s review here.

Intelligent iLoop™ Smart Sensor Technology allows the FLOOR ONE S6 PRO EXTREME to automatically detect and adjust the cleaning process including suction, roller speed, and fresh water flow, based on dirt levels, ensuring thorough and efficient cleaning. The self-cleaning system ensures easy maintenance and the eco-friendly Ultra Mode transforms water into a deep cleaning, all-natural solution safe for the floors and kills 99% of germs in under 30 seconds, making it the perfect choice for families with children and pets. For messes that don’t require water, suction-mode offers suction without the water, ideal for quick water spills or small debris pick up.
