Fathers are special. Some may be tough, some may be too kind and others too strict but most of the time, they just look out for their kids in the best way they can. What better way to appreciate them than to make sure they feel really special on the day specifically dedicated to them every year.

Fathers are like gadgets. They come in different sizes and types. From online streaming to video games, readers and laptops, there is a gadget that caters to any father's tastes. The trick is to understand what they prefer and need best.

Is he the type to enjoy movies or steam games and other videos? Then a Roku media box should be ideal. Roku often comes on top of the list for excellent Internet media boxes. The fast processor gives users access to literally hundreds of channels. For the ultimate couch potato weekend, this is a good deal for all dads.

Nothing beats a good set of speakers. Boys even when they get older enjoy a good sound system. It may not necessarily be a loud thumping sound trip but a good set of speakers can create a great atmosphere with some good music playing. A movie becomes even better when the sound system is just right.

The Jawbone Jambox is also a great choice - affordable Bluetooth wireless speakers.

Get some Kindle Fire for both a classic and modern reading experience. Fathers can save a whole lot of time and effort carrying Kindle instead of a pile of books. Avid readers can enjoy the paper-like screen. It brings the same experience but more convenient and handy. While smartphones and tablets can process ebooks and similar materials, Kindle has long lasting battery allowing users to read to their heart's content. The Barnes & Noble Nook simple is also an alternative.

If the main man is a fan of Apple then the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 should be fine. It works well with the iPad, Mac and even iPhone.
