Upload Your Own Design Puzzle

$26.99

What’s good enough for mom is, in many cases, equally a delight for dad. Upload your favorite family photo onto this 60-piece puzzle that a mom told us she loved receiving as a gift. It’s perfect for an analogue game night, and it arrives in a ready-to-gift matching box. Get up to 50% off sitewide until 27 May.

Dad might just become the coolest (and sneakiest) kid on the block in these Ray-Ban Meta glasses, also known to assist with visual and auditory impairments. “They pipe audio directly into your ear without blocking ambient sound; only someone standing very close to you could tell that music was playing,” according to the Guardian’s review. At 15% off, the best and only deal we’ve ever tracked on the device, it is a luxe gift that may just blow a dad’s mind, millennial or boomer. If he is more of a fun-in-the-sun kind of guy, opt for the sunglasses version, also 15% off.

DeWalt

20V Max Cordless Drill and Impact Driver Power Tool Combo Kit

from $152.10

If his nickname is Mr Fixit, here’s a deal on a DeWalt power tool kit for 39% off. In Filter contributor Tim Stevens’s list of best gifts for the DIYers, he bills the cordless drill as an essential tool. “A cordless drill is an absolute necessity for everything from making holes to driving screws,” he says. “But gifting one is something of a commitment: you’re not just giving a drill, you’re granting access to an entire battery-powered ecosystem. DeWalt is a perfect choice.” It is available in this set on sale.

When your dad leaves the house, does he always wonder if he left the garage open or the door unlocked? Snag him this best-tested smart lock for a rare deal of 10% off from 22 May to 10 June. In his testing, Filter contributor Jon Bitner found the Yale Assure Lock 2 to open a whole new level of convenience. “I used to forget whether I locked the door before heading out, but now I just check the status of my door remotely on the companion app,” he says. “Not only can it tell me if my door is open or closed, but it will tell me if it’s locked or unlocked.”

Garmin

Forerunner 165

$195

Whether he has been logging miles for years or wants to dip his toes into running, you can’t go wrong with a Guardian-approved Garmin running watch, now $6 shy of its lowest tracked price. In his testing, consumer technology editor Samuel Gibbs notes: “Garmin’s latest smart sports watch condenses all the great features from its higher-end Forerunner models into a cheaper, simpler running tracker with a bright OLED screen and long battery life.”

Birkenstock

Arizona Sandals

$136.50

Birkenstock’s ubiquitous Arizona sandals (with a celebrity following) hardly need an introduction. Between their adjustable straps, contoured and leather-wrapped cork foot beds and versatile designs, they’re everything dad probably needs in an easy summer slip-on to take him from the grill to the game. Score the popular Arizona sandals for 35% off in crisp white.

Tom Ford

Ombre Leather All Over Body Spray

$49.93

Dad hasn’t yet landed on his signature scent. Or maybe he has, and it smells of sweat and two-in-one shampoo conditioner. Let this luxurious spray scent be his new way to groom. “Apparently [Tom Ford] presented his perfumers with his favorite cowboy boots and asked them to recreate the smell of the luxury leather. Team Ford did such an uncannily accurate job that I keep making those around me sniff it,” says Guardian beauty columnist Sali Hughes of the scent that “seems to suit all men”. It’s never hit this low a price at 23% off.

Asics

Novablast 5

from $129.95

The Asics Novablast 5 get the stamp of approval both from the Filter’s run-loving editorial coordinator, Lauren Gould, and running expert Kieran Alger. “This non-plated, big-cushioned running shoe is primarily designed for every day runs – and that’s part of the appeal,” says Alger. “You can use it for most of your marathon training, and it’ll perform on race day.” Knock $20 off the price for the active dad.
