father’s day gift ideas for the athlete, photographer & techie

With Father’s Day just around the corner, we’re taking a break from those “World’s Greatest Dad” coffee mugs this year and searching for gifts that Dad really wants. Of course, if he really wants a new coffee mug, by all means go with it! But we wanted show you three great Father’s Day gift ideas from TopBrandBOX that the Athlete, the Photographer, and the Techie Dads are going to love this year!

The Athlete

Or the runner. Or the biker. Or the wannabe-athlete/runner/biker. Or just the Dad who needs a new set of wireless earbuds! Meet the Trendwoo Runner X3 Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 Stereo Sports Earphones!

Compatible with most Bluetooth devices (think smartphone, iPod, laptop), the Trendwoo Runner X3 Bluetooth Earphones allows Dad to rock out to his favorite jams or listen to his favorite audiobook while participating in his favorite activity (even if that “activity” is sleeping in a hammock) without that pesky cord getting in the way!

The Runner X3 Bluetooth Earphones come with a USB charging cable and three sizes of changeable earbuds. Battery life lasts for 4 hours of music time and takes about two hours to recharge. The Earphones also feature a sweat proof in-ear design, which is great for those who suffer from sweaty ears.

My hubby was all too happy to test these out and loved how they fit. He also gave the sound quality a thumbs-up. Kind of a good sign since his job is to make sure performance spaces sound good. He’s a stickler for good sound 😉

You can find the Trendwoo Runner X3 Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 Stereo Sports Earphones right now on Amazon for just $17.99*.

The Photographer

With most amateur or recreational photographers opting to use their iPhone as their camera of choice these days, iPhone photography accessories are a pretty hot buy this year! And it’s amazing the photos you can capture with some of these accessories!

Check out the Apexel 20x HD Macro Lens!

The Apexel 20x HD Macro Lens comes with a universal clip that helps it attach to most smartphone cameras. And it is unbelievably easy to use. You just slide the lens into place over your smartphone’s built-in camera and start shooting amazing photos! Check out the differences between using the Macro Lens and not:

This is such a fun accessory to play with if Dad is into photography! I personally love it! I love that it requires no additional downloads or apps…you just slide it on and open your camera app. And, with it being so small, it is super easy to just carry it along in your purse. Although we’re supposed to be talking about Dads here and I guess Dad won’t be carrying a purse. So maybe you can offer to keep it in our purse for him? Either way, at just $9.99 on Amazon*, you could probably pick up one Apexel 20x HD Macro Lens for him and one for you!

The Techie

Have you ever wondered how people catch those amazing videos from their cars? Those one in a million shots? Those “I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen the video” moments? It’s all about Car Camcorders!

Now this isn’t something my father-in-law or even my dad would appreciate, but my husband thought this was super cool! He has a 45 minute commute to work each day and loved the idea of having the ANYTEK 2.4 LCD Full HD DVR Car Camera Recorder on board!

So, honest moment here…this one was a bit beyond my techie realm. But my husband was going on and on about the 170 degree wide diagonal viewing angles to capture a wide scope of video; the capability to shoot HD footage; variety of functions (digital video, digital still photos, HDMI out, AV out, digital zoom); loop recording.

And this was his “Woah, super cool!” moment — the G-sensor built into the ANYTEK Car Camera Recorder senses when your car suddenly accelerates, breaks or is involved in a collision. At that point the loop recording feature actually turns off so it won’t record over that particular video footage. Meaning it protects your video that shows what happened in a potential accident. Kind of cool! But hopefully we never actually test that feature out in our car!

The ANYTEK 2.4 LCD Full HD DVR Car Camera Recorder is remarkably small in size and comes with USB cable, car charger, and windshield mount. NOTE: You will need to purchase a Micro SD card separately for the camera (up to 32GB capacity) and it make take some time figuring out all the different settings.

You can snag the ANYTEK 2.4 LCD Full HD DVR Car Camera Recorder on Amazon for $49.99*.

Which one do you think the Dad in your life would like this year for Father’s Day?
