So, if that’s the case, take a peek at our list featuring the best gaming consoles for kids and see if anything jumps out at you. However, if your New Year’s resolution involves “limiting kids’ screen time” how about switching gears and opting for a Polaroid camera instead?

26. Time to herself

That’s right, you can’t get this one at the shops. Or online. But it’s all she really, truly wants. Don’t get us wrong, she loves you all, and would probably take a bullet for (most of) you. But sometimes, she just needs a break. She’s a busy lady who’s made many sacrifices to bear the title of ‘Mum’, so show how much you appreciate her by just taking care of things. Here are 52 ideas to get you started. If you can’t figure it out from there, it’s probably time your mum/wife/partner took you back to the shops for a refund! (Joke… kind of.)
Christmas gift ideas for Dad
27. E-reader
Time to update the E-reader? Look no further than the Rakuten Kobo. Not only is it a perfect size for travelling (great for a Christmas holiday!), the screen is backlit and adjusts for night time reading so it’s easier on the eyes. There are also some fab accessories to go with it, including gorgeous cases made of recycled ocean plastics! Check it out online.
28. Music speaker

If Dad loves belting out his favourite hits from the past, a music speaker could be the perfect gift. The Bose Portable speaker, with its contemporary design, produces a powerful, clean, and crisp sound that fills any space just right. If a retro vibe is more his style, the classic Marshall Acton II not only delivers excellent sound but also adds a touch of vintage style to your space. Both options will definitely level up his music-listening experience!

The Barillio bar sets on Amazon are lightweight, compact, and designed for easy portability. These sets are not only convenient but also come with a range of essential tools, making them a delightful choice for the dad who loves mixing drinks while travelling!

We have to admit: we love LEGO! Not only does the company regularly come up with the coolest sets of movie memorabilia and other snazzy fun builds (like the Yoda set!), but they’re innovative and just good ol’ fun, too! If Dad’s a big movie buff like we are, be sure to grab him LEGO’s R2-D2 set – to pay tribute to the Star Wars franchise. If Dad’s one for cars, he might like building this Lamborghini LEGO set instead.
31. Tipples

Dad will definitely appreciate a smooth bottle of scotch, and for a fantastic selection, La Maison du Whisky is the place to go! This French specialist is renowned for its extensive collection of whisky and other fine spirits—chances are you’ve heard of them if you’re a whisky enthusiast yourself. If beer is more his vibe, we’re loving Thirsty’s 12 Beers of Christmas craft beer advent calendar. Cheers to finding the perfect drink for your dad’s enjoyment!
32. Sports watch
Got a dad who’s really into tracking his fitness and working out? Check out Garmin’s series of sports smartwatches that range from running and cycling to diving and even aviation. So, whether Dad’s really active and looking to participate in the next triathlon or simply wants to get fitter in the new year, Garmin has the watch he needs. Dad can even download music directly to his watch for phone-free listening. And did we mention, the battery life of these watches is outstanding? We love!
33. Portable coffee machine or blender
How awesome would it be to have an espresso machine on the go? The best part? Dads can grab their favourite cup of coffee anywhere – in the car, at the gym, or even while waiting for the bus. We’re loving the Wacaco Minipresso NS Portable Espresso Machine for its sleek and easily portable size. And if you’re looking for a nice, freshly blended smoothie or protein shake, the Ninja Blast is a top choice that we can’t get enough of!
34. Bluetooth Tracker and Finder

For dads who have a knack for misplacing their car keys, phone, wallet, and just about everything else, a Bluetooth tracker is an absolute game-changer (and time-saver)! We’re big fans of the Tile Mate for its compact size, extended range, and long-lasting battery life. And can we talk about that sleek tile design? It’s pretty lovable! If you’re an Apple user, the AirTag takes the cake with its replaceable battery and tiny size – you can even sneak it into a backpack for easy locating. Here’s to a stress-free Christmas!
35. Much-needed spa-time
You’d think spas are just for the ladies, right? Wrong! Singapore has some awesome spots where dads can kick back and enjoy some TLC too. Picture this: relaxing massages, facials, body scrubs, and plenty more.

Everything gets organised in one convenient spot! Say goodbye to messy tables—it’s a total game-changer. We really appreciate the appeal and functionality of the docking stations available at Shopee and Amazon. Cheers to a more organised and tidy space!
