5 Father's Day gift ideas for gamers – presents to get your gamer dad
Struggling for gift ideas for the gamer dad in your life? Here are five potential presents that could go down really well! Father's Day is nearing, and if you haven't nailed down a present yet for the gamer dad in your life, we have some ideas for you to consider. What do you get for the dad who has everything? That's normally the question that comes up every year ahead of Father's Day, but if your dad is a gamer, there's good news, because there is always something they don't have that they probably really, really want! I can't guarantee he'll love all of the gift ideas below, but it should at least give you a few pointers about which direction to go! Here are five Father's Day gift ideas for gamer dads, at a variety of price points, albeit most are quite pricey (spoiler alert: gaming is an expensive hobby!). Introducing All Out Gaming, a dedicated gaming brand providing the best gaming news, reviews, previews, interviews and more! Make sure you don't miss out on our latest high-quality videos on YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook, where we'll be posting our latest reviews, previews, interviews, and live streams! You can also subscribe to our free All Out Gaming newsletter service. Click here to be sent all the day's biggest stories. Father's Day gift ideas for gamer dads Keychron K2 HE keyboard Keychron's latest offering is perfect for gamer dads, particularly because it doesn't really look like a gaming keyboard! Its sleek, classic and smart design won't look out of place in an office environment, with natural rosewood featured along the side being a really nice and unique design touch. But don't be fooled, because the K2 HE features Gateron double-rail magnetic switches, with customisable actuation points and dynamic rapid triggers, as well as SA profile double-shot PBT keycaps, making it perfect for sweaty gaming sessions too! It also has multiple connectivity options, including 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.1, and wired, and is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux. A superb keyboard for office and gaming use. Keychron K2 HE Wireless Magnetic Switch Custom Keyboard - £153.99 Razer USB 4 Dock Okay, I know what you're thinking, a USB dock? But trust me, and I speak from experience here, dads can't have enough ports on their PCs. And this isn't just any USB dock, this is the daddy of all USB docks. It features 14 ports, including a MicroSD and SD Card slot, Microphone Headphone Combo Port (supports 7.1 surround), USB Type C 3.2 Gen 2 (with battery charging 20W), USB A 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gb/s), upstream USB 4 Type C to host device, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, 1Gb ethernet port, two USB A 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gb/s), one USB A 2.0 (480 Mb/s) and finally a dedicated USB port for 2.4 GHz Dongles (480 Mb/s). And there's more: It supports a 4K 120Hz output and includes a 180W power adapter that can provide 100W of laptop charging while powering the other connected devices! It's also compatible with PCS, Macs, iPads, and Chromebooks, making it incredibly versatile. Razer USB 4 Dock - £229.99 Moza Racing R3 Racin If your dad is the type who watches F1 and thinks he could match Max Verstappen, but hasn't tried sim racing yet, Moza's R3 bundle is the perfect gift to get him started on his sim racing journey. It's 3.9Nm direct drive servo motor gives enough feedback to provide an immersive driving experience, but not too much that it might be overwhelming for beginners, while the aviation-grade aluminium construction and durable ISF PU grips mean it'll last, at least until he wants to upgrade! You get a wheelbase, wheel and pedals in this bundle, which is compatible with PC and Xbox, which is a great starting point, and the price is very competitive too. Moza Racing R3 Racing Wheel and Pedals for Xbox and PC - £359.00 SanDisk microSD Express Memory Card (256 GB) With the Nintendo Switch 2 now out in the wild and in the hands of gamers, my first impressions of the console are very positive, and it seems to be better than the original in pretty much every conceivable way. But, with the games looking better than ever, and in a higher resolution than ever, that comes at the cost of bigger game sizes, so this 256 microSD Express Memory Card is looking pretty essential for those with a big game library! The Switch 2 only supports games launching from a microSD Express card, not a standard microSD, so this is a great option! SanDisk microSD Express Memory Card - £49.00 (Currys) Steam Deck And last but not least, for those gamer dads out there who haven't experienced the joy of handheld gaming yet, the Steam Deck is a superb device that allows you to play your beloved Steam games on the go. Whether he plays Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, Balatro, Red Dead Redemption 2 or Cyberpunk 2077, Valve's handheld can handle them all in 1280 x 800 resolution on its 7-inch display, which is surprisingly sharp given the lower than 1080p resolution. And, best of all, with the Steam Deck OLED also out now, the original Steam Deck is only £359 right now, making it cheaper than a Nintendo Switch 2! Steam Deck (256GB) - £359.00 And that's it. Hopefully, some of these ideas work out great, but if not, at least they might spark a present idea ahead of the big day.

Boots' 'incredible' £86 aftershave now 50% cheaper for Father's Day
Boots shoppers can save on a designer aftershave that's described as 'an intense and spicy' scent Boots is selling an "incredible" designer aftershave for less than half price ahead of Father's Day. The beauty giant has discounted BOSS Bottled Night Eau de Toilette 100ml from £86 to £40.50. The online-only deal saves shoppers over £45 on the popular scent. With an average rating of 4.3 out of five, reviewers love the "wonderful blend of musky notes." However, not everyone was enamoured by the scent, with others suggesting it smells "too heavy" and "needs to be toned down a bit." Shoppers might prefer Armani Stronger With You Intensely 150ml, on sale for £69 at Look Fantastic. Elsewhere, Versace's Dylan Blue Eau de Toilette Spray 100ml is on sale for £38.99 at The Perfume Shop. Fragrance fans might also like Jo Malone London's Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Intense (9ml), which is £24 from Harrods. Boots' product description for the BOSS Bottled Night Eau de Toilette says: "BOSS Bottled Night is destined to become the secret weapon in the BOSS man's armoury of seduction, instilling him with the same compelling presence that underpins his success by day. "A unique composition between elegance and seduction. An intense and spicy aftershave for men with a purposeful, edgy, masculine character. Woods are key in the scent: BOSS Bottled Night introduces a scent replica of a rich & exotic new wood, Louro Amarelo." The aftershave has over 400 five-star reviews. One happy shopper said: "This perfume is amazing. I actually bought it for my husband for our anniversary first then ended up buying it for my dad too as he loved the fragrance." A customer added: "Great value for money, a perfect gift! The smell is delicious." However, someone else replied: "My husband tried the Hugo Boss Night, I was not a fan. It was too heavy and overpowering for me. He said it was okay, but he wouldn't wear this daily." A similar response read: "My husband actually tried this fragrance, and he did not care for it at all! The scent was much too strong and heavy for him." A different shopper said: "Spray too much and you will be saying 'goodnight'. I expected more from hugo boss... but not this much! Too pungent and needs to be toned down a bit. My husband sprayed himself once and boy it was way too much!" An unhappy customer added: "My wife got me this perfume as a gift. It smells nice and the price is good, but the scent doesn't last long. It typically lasts for around three hours. I suggest not spending your hard-earned money on something that doesn't have long-lasting scent. Don't buy it." But another wrote: "It's incredible! I don't think there has been a scent from Hugo Boss that I don't like. Hugo Boss Night is a sensual, exciting night out type of scent! Have your guy wear this to excite your senses and make you want to hug him more!!!!" Someone else praised: "A masculine fragrance that lasts the whole night! Boss Bottled Night is an element but intense and spicy scent full of seduction and character. A wonderful blend of musky notes makes this a perfect choice for those nights on the town or a romantic evening for two. A real head all the right reasons. Boss Bottled Night is my secret weapon and should be yours too!"
