KAZAM Tornado 348

www.kazam.mobi/tornado-348  – RRP £179.99

The MumsClub team love a new gadget and we can’t help but be impressed with the world’s slimmest smartphone.  The KAZAM Tornado 348 is a good 1.75mm thinner than the iPhone 6 (we checked it!!). It has a super stylish, yet robust aluminium design and as a result it’s also extremely light at 96g. There is a certain amount of flex in the metal-sided casing but it seemed to stand up well to general wear and tear, though we didn’t attempt to put it under enough pressure to crack it. However Kazam do offer free screen replacement if it’s damaged in the first 12 months — which is always nice to know and this is in addition to KAZAM’s rescue service and three-year warranty – all thrown in for free. This is an ideal gift for those super stylish Dad’s who are fashion AND tech conscious!

The Zepp Multi Sport Sensor

www.currys.co.uk/zepp-golf-3d-motion-sensor – RRP £129.00

Is Dad a keen golfer but in need of a little help with his swing? The Zepp multi-sport sensor is a great gift choice this Father’s Day as it analyses a users swing when playing golf and tennis, providing instant feedback via the sport specific iOS or Android app. Allowing them to adapt and perfect their play, it’s a great gift for golfing or tennis mad dads this Father’s day. To be honest, the small, green, 2cm square sensor doesn’t look like much, and it weighs just 6.3 grams, but once attached to your bat, tennis racquet or golf glove, it’ll start tracking your swings, hits and misses and let you know where you need to improve.

It would be nice to say that the Zepp Multi-Sport sensor does everything for you but it doesn’t however it’ll definitely help Dad to improve his game in the number of sports it supports (and it’s a lot cheaper than paying out for countless golf lessons)

My Passport Wireless

www.wdc.com – RRP £199

Is your Dad fed up of wires and connections? Then this is the one wireless drive for all your devices allowing him to free up space on your tablet and smartphone, back up or transfer photos and videos from an SD card and keep on shooting. We loved that the My Passport Wireless lets you connect with up to eight devices at the same time. In all honesty, we found that it was far from “plug and play’ to set up but once we had managed to do this transferring data was relatively straightforward and quick, especially using the USB 3.0 connection. Power users will also like the fact that it can be used as a bridge (to share an internet connection with other devices) and includes a DLNA media server, and the content of any SD card inserted in the reader can be automatically imported (copied or moved) to the drive. It is worth noting that you cannot use the device as a portable drive and a mobile media server at the same time. It is not the cheapest option on our gift guide but who can put a price on a tech happy Dad?

Lumie Bodyclock Starter 30

www.lumie.com/bodyclock-starter-30 RRP £59.95

The Mumsclub team are big fans of the Lumie range and the Lumie Bodyclock is the original wake-up light (also called a dawn simulator). It wakes you gradually with increasing natural light. This is a signal for your body to ease production of sleep hormones (e.g. melatonin) and increase those that help you get up and go (e.g. cortisol). Wake-up lights help to keep your sleep cycle on track, boosting mood, energy and productivity levels all day. It has some great features, such as:

• 30-minute sunrise wakes you naturally
• 30-minute fading sunset helps you to wind down for bed
• Dimmable lighting for use as a bedside light

The team absolutely love this product! It never fails to wake us up in a nice soft lovely way (not all together obviously). Our favourite bit is the sunset, it really helps us wind down before going to bed and we would recommend to anyone!

Lantronix xPrint

Lantronix on Amazon>> iOS RRP £60.00 Android RRP £98.00

We were very excited about this product! It is roughly the size of an iPhone and its function is to enable what so many wired and wireless printers currently cannot do – printing from mobile devices. Neither of the devices require any downloads, software or additional drivers – so any non-techie person can easily set it up as it auto detects and auto provisions! There’s support for around 4,000 printers, so as long as you have a reasonably recent printer from a popular manufacturer then you shouldn’t have any problems. Once located, any additional drivers were downloaded and we were good to go. It’s a more seamless solution than a software app, and it certainly beats having to buy a new printer just to serve your iOS or Android printer needs.

Braun cruZer5 Clean Shave

www.boots.com/Braun-cruZer5 RRP £89.99

We were told that with its powerful triple action float system, the cruZer5 Clean Shave is the perfect choice for getting rid of unwanted facial hair at the touch of a button. The twin foils and integrated middle trimmer shave progressively closer while at the same time being super gentle to your skin. Even on three-day beard, the cruZer5 Clean Shave delivers an impeccable performance, efficiently cutting both long and short hairs with every stroke. The verdict? Our male reviewers were delighted with the product and felt that it gave a quick but close shave, so a great choice for Dad this Father’s Day!

Braun WaterFlex

www.boots.com/Braun-WaterFlex-Wet-Dry-Electric-Shaver RRP £159.00

Being a life long fan of the wet shave with a razor, our tester admitted to being dubious about trying this. But we are delighted to say that he reported an excellent result, assuring us that it cuts as close as a blade, but happily, without the irritation. Unlike wet shaving with a razor, he didn’t have to go over any troublesome areas again, and using along with shaving foam gave him a particularly memorable shave, which his wife congratulated him on.

It is easy to clean, it charges up quickly, with each charge giving around a week’s worth of shaves. Overall our tester has decided to stick with the Waterflex, saying he now regards his razors as medieval torture. He clearly doesn’t miss those annoying nicks he’s endured over the years…

The Roku Streaming Stick 

www.Roku.com/uk RRP £49

The Roku Streaming Stick quite simply transforms any TV into a Smart TV and enables dads (and the rest of the family) to stream popular channels such as Netflix, Google Play, Sky Store, NOW TV, BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, All 4, Demand 5 and BBC Sport on TV. In addition, the Roku streaming players also come with more than 1,400 streaming channels so there’s something to suit every taste. The Roku Streaming Stick is also a great gift for all dads who love TV and like to unwind and stream their favourite films, sport or TV shows at a time that suits them and with the holiday season coming up, you can always take it on holiday to make sure you don’t miss your favourite shows! It is a great, affordable choice to make Dad very happy this Father’s Day (and every day).
