These genius gadgets will make you the favorite child this Father's Day 2025
Father's Day is almost here, and many people are looking for a gift that feels special and useful. Father's Day isn't just for dads, it's for anyone who has been like a father to you, no matter their gender. This list is all about last-minute gifts that you can still buy before the big day. Here are 10 gadgets you can give your dad as compiled by Newsweek.
1. Sony WH-1000XM6
In Sony's popular XM series the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are the newest. They look better, fit more comfortably, and sound even better than the XM5 model. The headphones have improved noise-canceling, more microphones, and a new processor. They cost $450, but the XM5 is still available for less.
2. Dremel 8240-5 12V Cordless Rotary Tool Kit – A DIY Dream
The Dremel 8240-5 is like a tiny electric Swiss Army Knife, it can drill, screw, sand, polish, cut, grind, and even engrave. It comes with lots of attachments: sanding bits, cutting discs, polishing tools, and more. It's cordless, which makes it easy to carry and use anywhere. Perfect for small DIY projects at home, even cool stuff like building a backyard TARDIS, as recommended in the report by Newsweek.
This year, Dremel also launched a Blueprint tool series, including a 3-in-1 drill with a stud finder and laser level, and a portable saw that comes with its own mini workbench. Great choice if you don't have a full tool shed and need compact tools that still do a lot.
3. Apple Watch Series 10

Battery lasts 30 days, and it comes with tools to adjust the strap at home. Great for parents who want something smart but stylish and low-key, as recommended in the report by Newsweek.
5. Nebula Cosmos 4K SE Smart Projector
Portable 4K projector that's easy to use, just plug and play. Super bright 1,800 ANSI Lumens and works even on a non-white wall. Can go anywhere: living room, backyard, or movie night under the stars. Gives you a 200-inch screen without needing a full setup. Way easier than old-school bulky projectors and more affordable than other big brands.
6. Withings Body Cardio Smart Scale
Not just a scale, check your heart health and body composition. Automatically recognizes each person who uses it. Syncs to the Health Mate app so you can easily track everything. Looks clean and simple, but has lots of hidden tech inside.
7. reMarkable Paper Pro
A distraction-free tablet for writing, drawing, and reading. Now has a color screen and works like a notebook with a pen. Add the keyboard case and it becomes a full writing/editing machine. Perfect for parents who love writing or reading and want less screen-time, as recommended in the report by Newsweek.
8. Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB-BK Wireless Turntable

You can connect it via RCA cable, USB, or Bluetooth 5.0. Has adjustable pitch control, but not made for DJ scratching. Great for digitizing old records, helpful for parents who want to save their music.
9. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
This game is not only about fighting but also solving clever puzzles and using creative thinking. You can solve tasks in your own way, build machines, use weather tricks, or fight cleverly. A great game even for non-gamers or dads who love a challenge but not too much action. The puzzles are like Portal, but in a fantasy world, super fun and brainy.
10. Nintendo Switch - OLED
This version has a better screen and cooler Zelda-themed design. It's both a portable and home console, so you can play it anywhere. If your dad is a casual gamer, this model is more than enough, no need to wait for a Switch 2. Pairs perfectly with Tears of the Kingdom and looks great while doing it. Ideal for dads who want a chill and fun gaming experience with top visuals, as recommended in the report by Newsweek.

Rockstar removes PS Plus requirement for GTA Online on PS4 & PS5

The free period will expire on July 1. Free GTA Online access now open to everybody on PlayStation — TezFunz2 (@TezFunz2) The PS Plus paywall for GTA Online has been dropped on both PS4 and PS5, so that everybody, whether subscribed to PS Plus or not, can play the game's online universe. This offer coincides with the release of Money Fronts , a new update that brings new criminal businesses, cars, and missions designed to further enrich the player's money-generating opportunities in the game. Rockstar has employed the same access events before, on the occasions of big content drops, to bring back lapsed players or bring in new players. While some of these events have run for a weekend, this one is running for two weeks until July 1. Throughout these two weeks, non-PS Plus players can experience GTA Online in its entirety, purchase new vehicles, engage in jobs, and enjoy community events taking place throughout Los Santos. Why Rockstar is doing this and what players will be getting This type of move is in line with Rockstar and Sony's wider strategy to promote player interest whenever a new update drops. GTA V keeps selling millions of copies each quarter, and for numerous new or casual gamers, the PS Plus subscription can act as a barrier to getting a taste of GTA Online. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo By lowering that barrier temporarily, Rockstar makes more people experience the latest updates and maybe stay engaged in the long run. Next week, an additional six vehicles will be included in the game as part of the Money Fronts update, and everyone, subscribed and non-subscribed alike, will have access to them if they play inside this timeframe. Meanwhile, existing PS Plus subscribers also have access to GTA III via the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog under the Extra and Premium plans.
