Whether you’re shopping for a gamer dad, a techy grad, or someone who deserves a cool new gadget after surviving another school year, here is CGMagazine’s definitive list of gifts we recommend to help celebrate your loved ones this year, but more specifically those dads & grads in your life.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro OMNI Headphones
Price: $399.99
For new grads, it can be a hassle to swap between using your favourite headphones on a gaming console, work laptop, and phone for on-the-go tunes. There are plenty of comfy headphones with premium audio quality out there, but the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro OMNI Headphones are a stand-out pair we wanted to include.
OMNIPlay allows the Arctis Nova Pro to connect up to five different devices at once, with easy switching between them using a dongle or even a phone using the SteelSeries Arctis app. With four separate audio channels, your grad can easily manage audio between their game, voice chat, and music. They can even take phone calls using the Arctis Nova Pro’s Bluetooth without the caller overhearing any other audio. With the convenience of OMNIPlay, paired with amazing audio quality and comfort, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro OMNI Headphones is a great gift for dads & grads.

Razer Viper V4 Pro Gaming Mouse
Price: $159.99
If your dad still likes to plan LAN parties with his buddies, he could use a nice mouse that’s easy to bring on the go to use with a gaming laptop. For a wireless option that is easy to pack up and take on the go, the Razer Viper V4 Pro Gaming Mouse felt like a strong fit for our list, and one many of the staff of CGM use for their own setups.
The Viper V4 utilizes Gen-4 optical switches for crisp clicking, and a Gen-3 Focus Pro 50K Optical Sensor for highly customizable sensitivity. This sensor also includes Frame Sync, an additional sensor that aligns inputs to make for an extremely precise and responsive mouse, even for a wireless one. You can expect 45 hours of battery life if you run the Viper V4 Pro at 8000 Hz, or even up to 180 hours if you run it at 1000 Hz. The included HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2 dongle has enough weight to sit comfortably on a desk, but is still mobile enough for a loved one looking for a wireless mouse to use on the go with a laptop for work, play, or both.
- 50G ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT ESPORTS MOUSE — Built with input from competitive pro players, this wireless mouse is 9% lighter than the previous gen and delivers faster, more agile control for PC gaming

Amazon Kindle Colorsoft
Price: $279.99
No matter how advanced the entertainment industry gets, from handheld PC gaming to AI-generated movies, you can never go wrong with a good book. But with so many to choose from, an eReader is a great choice to keep novels, comics, manga, or magazines all in one place. If your dad or grad is a passionate reader, or is trying to make reading a new hobby, we recommend the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft.
The Amazon Kindle Colorsoft can come with either a 16GB or 32GB storage capacity, with a 7″ colour e-ink display that can present reading material with a paperlike texture to mimic the real thing, while also making coloured pages and comic panels really pop. Being an Amazon product, the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft can access tons of ebooks and even audiobooks through their Kindle Unlimited Subscription. For uploading your own content, third-party apps like Calibre can be used to upload EPUBs and CBZ files. The Amazon Kindle Colorsoft also features a pretty decent battery, capable of lasting about a month on full charge for those who read around an hour a day.
- Read in color – The new 7″ Colorsoft display is high-contrast and easy on the eyes, with paper-like color that brings covers and content to life.

GameSir X Aimlabs G7 Pro 8K PC Wireless Controller

As funny as it is to say, sometimes it really is the controller. Nobody wants to have their fun held back from playing a game because of faulty hardware, especially not a grad finally getting a break to game after a long school year. If your grad could use a new controller, the GameSir X Aimlabs G7 Pro 8K PC Wireless Controller is a solid choice for your dads & grads this year.

Bluetti Elite 300 Portable Power Station
Price: $1449
Whether your dad spends weekends fishing, camping, or even just out in the yard, some extra power always comes in handy. Portable mini-generators are a great way to keep all sorts of devices topped up no matter where you are, and we think the Bluetti Elite 300 is a great option.
Featuring 12 outlets and ports, and even a cigarette lighter, the Bluetti Elite 300 Portable Power Station’s 3014 Wh capacity is equipped to handle pretty much anything you need powered, even if it’s just indoors, like a TV or even a gaming PC. Depending on the device, it can provide consistent power for over three days, with only about 3 hours needed to charge it back to full. From changing its power output directly in the Bluetti app to even recharging the power station with built-in solar panels, the Bluetti Elite 300 is an incredibly versatile and reliable portable power station that could make a useful gift for your dad.

DJI Power 1000 Mini
Price: $649
Despite all its great features, $1449 is a pretty steep price point for the Bluetti, so if you’re looking for something cheaper that still packs a punch, we also recommend the DJI Power 1000 Mini.
Just like the Bluetti, the DJI Power 1000 Mini has a power management companion app it can connect to, solar panels for charging on the go, and up to tens of hours of consistent energy output, needing only an hour to charge back to a full 1024 Wh capacity. The DJI Power Mini 1000 is definitely a solid, more affordable option for a power station gift for your outdoorsy dads & grads.

At the end of the day, some of the best time we spend with our loved ones is around a table with a fun card game. There are so many great ones out there, so the next one we recommend to try with your dads & grads is In A World.
Similar to a game like Cards Against Humanity, In A World has two decks to pull from. Each round, one player will pull an In A World card that suggests a scenario; each player then plays a “We Want” card in response, and the table can decide on which response card fits best. There are no hard rules for which card should win, and even cards that don’t fit could be argued for. In the end, In A World is a fun little lite-roleplay game we think would make a great gift.
- In A World is an easy-to-learn, semi-collaborative roleplaying card game for ages 10 and up.
