Here are some ideas on buying gifts for dads and granddads who like technology and gaming:
Aukey Car Charger
Aukey has a range of car chargers with dual USBs. This is perfect for charging your mobile phone on car trips and commutes. The charger promises to work on most cars as it plugs into the standard DC socket (aka cigarette lighter). There’s a handy LED ring light to let you know what the charging status is. Just double-check you have selected the compatible USB type before ordering. Aukey website: https://www.aukey.com/
