Every Dad is unique, which is what makes our individual relationships with our fathers so special. Like my Dad, I’m the youngest of 4 siblings, so we share a lot of similarities. My Dad has helped shape me into the person I am today. He’s guided me with his wisdom and life lessons, has taught me to use common sense, be street-smart, and pragmatic in all my decisions. His goal has always been to provide for his 4 daughters – to ensure we had a roof over our head, food on the table, and a good education. Like many immigrant parents, along with my mother, he sacrificed a lot to come here to give us a good life; and for that, I’m forever grateful.
Often times, our Dads are the unsung heroes of the family. So, this year for Father’s Day, I wanted to do something more for him and get him a special gift from Best Buy that’s in line with his unique ‘type’.
What’s Your Dad’s Unique Type?
Every single Dad has his own unique ‘type’. You know what I’m talking about! Whether it’s the handy-man, who fixes everything around the house, the outdoorsy type, who enjoys camping or fishing, or the sports fanatic, they all have a ‘type’! What’s your Dad’s?
For as long as I can remember, my Dad has had a thing for technology, so I’d say my Dad’s type is the tech guy! Before retiring, he had a long career working with computers, including being a computer operator in the Royal Air Force in the United Kingdom before I was born (which is pretty badass, if you ask me!). He’s always gotten excited over gadgets in the house; and even though he won’t admit it, he likes to show off about them too!
Because of that, the Sonos One is the perfect gift for him for Father’s Day. It’s a voice controlled smart speaker with Amazon Alexa built in that will play all of his music in one place. He’ll also be able to check the news and traffic and manage other smart devices in the home. This will be the first product in my parents’ household that has a voice command, and I can almost already hear my father saying “Alexa, play ____”!
Gifts from Best Buy for All Types of Dads
Whether your Dad’s a tech guy or not, I’ve put together the ultimate gift guide with Best Buy products to help you brainstorm this Father’s Day.

I love shopping at Best Buy because it’s literally a one stop shop. There is such a wide selection of items suitable for all budgets – everything from electronics, to appliances, to sports gear, and home goods. You really can’t go wrong shopping at Best Buy. In fact, you may have a hard time choosing with all the selection!
Apart from the variety, I appreciate the convenience of being able to shop online at BestBuy.ca.

If you ever need assistance, their Geek Squad is available in-store or 24/7 online or on the phone.
I can’t wait to see the reaction on my Dad’s face when he opens up this Sonos One!

My dad is actually a mixture between a outdoorsy type (because he absolutely loves to fish and would live on the water if he could) and a Sports Fanatic ! my hubby got him into golf but he has always been such a fan of hockey (habs fan lol) Going to start tagging on IG @krisha4444. thanks for the chance
My dad isn’t really a type to be honest…he’s so busy taking care of everyone that he doesn’t have much time to himself to go camping or play with technology. But he truly appreciates good music and I think he’d love a nice pair of earphones!
My dad isn’t really a type (if you know what I mean!) He doesn’t get a lot of time to himself, but I know he likes music and if he had time, he’d enjoy some nice earbuds so he can listen to music on the go. Insta:elisa724726 by the way!

My Dad was the outdoorsy guy. Always had us at the park, took us camping and fishing, road trips, toboganning. My mom didn’t always come along so maybe that was the plan….she just needed the rest. lol.

Great post Krystle! I can totally relate on the whole coming from immigrant parents who have given so much to their kids 💕 This really made me think of what type my Dad is. I would say in between Handy man and Tech. Is there a category for Dads who love clothing and shoes too? 🤣
Thank you! I’m so glad to hear! I obviously didn’t realize when I was a lot younger, but appreciate my Dad so much more, now that I’m older. Hope you have a wonderful Father’s Day celebrating with your Dad! xoxoxo

My dad isn’t really any of these types. I’d say foodie is closer, but outdoorsy type is the closest of these four.

I commented before but I think I lost it. Here it is again, and if it’s a double, sorry. My dad isn’t really any of these types, more a foodie, but outdoorsy would be the closest.
