10.5 inch iPad Pro
The 128GB Wi-Fi-only 10.5-inch iPad Pro is the best iPad for reading, drawing, surfing the web, and streaming movies and TV. It's big enough to act as a computer but small enough to take to the coffee shop. Dad can binge-watch his favorite Netflix shows, read the daily news, and sketch out plans for his fantasy Man Cave. The iPad Pro makes everything possible.

13-inch MacBook Air
It's not the lightest MacBook Apple sells anymore, but starting at $999, it's a solid option. It doesn't have a Retina display, but it does have USB ports. It's the least expensive in the Mac lineup (it's the same price as the iPhone X!) and the most versatile gift for any occasion.

AirPods
Apple's AirPods are unique in that they instantly connect to your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and more thanks to the W1 chip inside. You can also trigger Siri for a little help with your listening activities and use touch-based gestures to control playback. If dad doesn't like in-ear headphones, try Beats Solo3 for on-ear style or Beats Studio3 for over-the-ear listening.

Philips Hue Starter Kit
You know how dad is. He's always yelling at the family to turn off the lights when they leave the room. Money doesn't grow on trees, you know. With Philips Hue smart bulbs, he can control when the lights are on or off, and even set timers to make sure they're off at a certain time of the day. Plus, when he comes home from a hard day's work and the house is dark, he can set a perimeter trigger to turn the lights back on before he even walks in the front door.

Joby GripTight PRO
Does dad fancy himself a photographer? Is he always breaking out the camera for family photos? He'll be much happier if he can use a tripod with his iPhone to take those stunning photos. The Joby GripTight PRO has four different modes — two grip-style modes for selfies and two tabletop tripod modes for getting those wide shots.

Kodak's smartphone photo printer pushes out high quality 4"x6" prints directly from your iPhone.

It prints your image in colored layers: reds, yellows, and blues, and then finishes the whole thing off with a top coat so your pictures won't bleed or fade.
