Are you on the hunt for the perfect tech-related gift for your dad ahead of Father’s Day? Annoyingly, this year’s big day (June 21st) falls just before one of Amazon‘s biggest sales of the year.
I’m of course talking about Amazon Prime Day, which has just been officially announced for June 23-26. The annual sale is sure to feature everything from discounts on own-brand devices to cheap laptops, TVs, iPads – you name it.
In short, right now is actually a pretty bad time to consider picking up tech as Amazon (and most other retailers) are keeping their powder dry until the big sales at the end of this month. Unless you specifically see a retailer with a Father’s Day sale banner, I’d be wary of picking up anything right now.
Frustrating, right? Well, unfortunately, it’s just the case right now for most tech categories. Father’s Day this year is coming at a very, very inconvenient time. If you can, I’d recommend holding off on any prospective tech purchases until Prime Day hits, even if it means a temporary I.O.U for your dad on his big day.
Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner
Prime Day usually features pretty much every category you could think of at Amazon, but it’s usually particularly good for things like Echo devices, iPads, Apple Watches, and FitBits – all of which make fantastic Father’s Day gifts.
If we’re lucky, we may see Amazon tease a few deals ahead of Father’s Day this year, as the retailer usually offers early promotions to drum up hype for the big sale. A few examples have already cropped up, including free premium music streaming, audiobooks, e-books, and the chance to win free groceries for a full year.
While none of those exactly fit the bill for the perfect Father’s Day gift, you can check out what’s already available at the retailer ahead of Prime Day just below.
