With Father’s Day 2016 just over a week away, it’s now officially crunch time. But who cares? What did dear old dad really do to deserve a present from you? Help give you life? Whatever. Raise you and help you develop into a respectable person? Pff. Pay for your education and help ensure you can survive on your own in modern society? Big deal.

This year, celebrate Father’s Day by taking advantage of all the great bargains out there and buying a gift for yourself. In fact, we’ve assembled 10 of the best gift ideas we could find in this guide, and it’s packed full of cool items that range in price from under $20 to a few hundred dollars. You’re going to love them far more than your father would, so why bother wasting them on him?

OK fine, all of these items would also obviously make fantastic gifts for your dad…

There are a million set top boxes and media streaming dongles out there, but only one can be the best and the Roku 3600R Streaming Stick is likely it. The device gives you access to more than 10,000 streaming channels of entertainment and it also supports all of your favorite services like Netflix, Amazon Video, Hulu and more. Best of all, it’s new but it’s on sale right now for its lowest price ever.

Roku Streaming Stick (3600R): $39.00

The Roku Streaming Stick has your video needs covered, so naturally it’s now time to talk audio. And when it comes to wireless home speakers, Sonos is obviously among the best in the business.

Sonos speakers rarely go on sale but right now Amazon is giving free gift cards of various values with every purchase. Discounts (in the form of a gift card) range from $30 to $140 depending on which speakers you order.
