In pop culture, fathers are too frequently portrayed as the bumbling parent who ruins things that moms then have to come fix. But being a dad is far more complicated (and beautiful, and terrifying, and everything else).

Dads are always hard to shop for. And when you feel like you’ve gifted all of the tools, ties, and mugs that he can pretend to be excited about, Father’s Day gifting can become quite the mystery.
Mom may drop hints about what she’d like, and you know she’d be just as happy with flowers. But dads will say something like “Oh no, I don’t need anything,” when you ask what’s on his wish list, because that’s just a dad thing to do. Helpful.
He raised you and saved your butt so many times, it’s time for you to make his life easier with the gift of Alexa voice commands. We’re sure you know where we’re going with this — Amazon is having a huge Father’s Day sale across all of its Echo, Fire TV, Kindle, and Cloud Cam devices, from now until June 16 at 11:59 pm EST.

Okay, we know we talk about Amazon Echo deals a lot, but this one is seriously important.
Amazon’s grand daddy of Echo devices, the touchscreen Amazon Echo Show, is only $149 today. If that still seems pricey, just know that it’s regularly $229 and was on sale for $179 on Black Friday. We haven’t seen it this low in a while.
For $149, you’d usually be able to get the Echo Plus (a smart home hub) or the Echo Spot (with a significantly smaller screen than the Show). Our point? If you’ve been eyeing the Show but couldn’t justify its price, the time to act is now. (We know it can get confusing — for our rundown on the difference between all of the Echo products, go here.)

Save $100 on a 128 GB 5th generation iPad (*hint* Father’s Day, *hint* graduation gift)

iPad: “Cannot take photo.” “Insufficient space for download.” “Storage almost full.”
Us:
There’s nothing more annoying than your iPad’s screen whining about storage, and then having to delete apps or photos you weren’t even done with yet.
Hot tip: You can get a 5th generation iPad, the huge 128 GB one, for $100 off at just $329 today — AKA saving $100 by not buying the newest iPad that clocks in at $429.
While this isn’t the newest version of the 9.7-inch iPad, the only real differences are some internal things — an A9 instead of an A10 chip, so slower but not slow by any means — and no Apple Pencil support. However, unless you’ll be using the iPad for taking notes or drawing, the Apple Pencil isn’t even necessary. Read more…
