Portronics Muffs M6 Over-Ear Bluetooth Headphones
Why we picked it
The only pick here that is neither a wearable nor luggage, and the right one for a dad who watches cricket at volume while the rest of the house is asleep. Forty hours of playtime and memory-foam cushions cover a whole tour without a charge.
Stated 40 hours of playtime with Type-C fast charging Bluetooth 5.4 with dual pairing between the TV box and his phone Memory-foam cushions with a foldable adjustable headband
Good to know: No noise cancellation of any kind is listed; No warranty term is stated on the listing.
boAt Wave Call 3 Bluetooth Calling Smartwatch, 1.83-Inch
Why we picked it
The 1.83-inch display is the reason this beats the other smartwatch here — it is the larger of the two screens on this page, and screen size is the single thing that decides whether a dad uses a smartwatch or leaves it charging in a drawer. A functional crown means he scrolls with a twist instead of poking at glass.
1.83-inch HD display — the larger of the two smartwatch screens here Bluetooth calling with a built-in dial pad, synced contacts and call logs IP68 rated, with heart rate, SpO2 and sleep tracking
Good to know: It has to be charged on a schedule; the quartz Casio does not; Health tracking can read as a comment on his health — gift it carefully.
Fire-Boltt Ninja Call Pro Bluetooth Calling Smartwatch
Why we picked it
The lighter-touch smartwatch of the two — Bluetooth calling, a built-in AI voice assistant for hands-free control, and 100+ sports modes if he walks a morning round. Dual chip hardware is what the listing credits for the smoother Bluetooth calling.
Bluetooth calling with dial pad, call history and contact sync Built-in AI voice assistant for calls, music and alarms SpO2, heart rate and sleep tracking across 100+ sports modes
Good to know: 1.69-inch display, smaller than the boAt Wave Call 3's 1.83-inch; The listing states no IP rating, unlike the boAt's IP68.
Aristocrat Liberty 8-Wheel Cabin Hard Case Trolley, 58 cm
Why we picked it
Eight wheels instead of the usual four means the bag glides upright beside him through a terminal rather than dragging behind — the difference is obvious the first time he uses it. Scratch- and water-resistant polypropylene keeps it light, and a flush combination lock keeps the shell clean.
8 wheels for 360-degree movement, versus the Skybags' dual wheels Scratch- and water-resistant polypropylene, light for its size 3-year global warranty with a flush integrated combination lock
Good to know: 3-year warranty against the Skybags' 5; 58 cm cabin size only — no room for a longer trip without a second bag.
The gift that replaces the bag with the sticky wheel he has complained about since 2023 — hard ABS and PP shell, 360-degree dual wheels and a resettable 3-digit combination lock. Skybags backs it with a 5-year international warranty, the longest term stated on this page.
5-year international warranty — the longest stated on this page Scratch-resistant ABS and PP shell with 360-degree dual wheels Built-in resettable 3-digit combination lock and compression straps
Good to know: Dual wheels rather than the Aristocrat's eight; A printed blue-and-white shell is a louder choice than plain black.
Casio Enticer Blue Dial Analog Men's Watch MTP-VD01D-2BVUDF
Why we picked it
A 45 mm stainless steel case with a blue dial and a fold-over safety clasp — big enough to read without reaching for glasses, plain enough that he will wear it to everything. Casio states 50 m water resistance and a two-year manufacturer warranty, so it survives a dad's relationship with his possessions.
50 m water resistance with a fold-over clasp and safety catch 2-year manufacturer warranty on manufacturing defects 45 mm stainless steel case with a mineral crystal
Good to know: The priciest pick on this page at ₹2,993; A plain analog quartz watch — it tells the time and does no more.
