The question of what to gift dad for Father's Day is back again. Year after year, it never gets easier to find the perfect gift. Whether you're shopping for Dad, Grandpa, a stepdad, or the nice guy down the street, take note that Father's Day is June 21 this year.
We're not in the chaos of last-minute shopping yet, but snagging something this weekend means you'll likely have reassurance that your gift will arrive on time. Ahead of Prime Day, Amazon has a major selection of sales that'll work great for Father's Day. Below are some of our favorites to shop this weekend.
Best Bluetooth speaker deal Opens in a new window Credit: Ultimate Ears Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 (blue) $51.44 at AmazonSitting at a major 49% discount, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 will make for a great Father's Day gift. In Mashable's guide to the best Bluetooth speakers, the UE Wonderboom 4 earns the top spot as the best option under $100. Thanks to this early Prime Day deal, it's on a significant discount. Mashable's review explains, "This speaker's small (and rugged enough) to take along for a hike, while traveling, and for tossing next to the pool." Since it's waterproof, it's also a great option for using as a shower speaker.
Best portable power station deal Opens in a new window Credit: Anker Solix Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 $749 at AmazonOver the past few years, I've tested dozens of portable power stations, and the Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 is the one I use the most. I'd rather overestimate my power needs than run short, which is why I head out with 2048Wh of battery capacity with the C2000 Gen 2. It's still portable enough to take for a weekend of camping without being too heavy to carry around. I also love the dual high-powered USB-C ports that can reach 140W. It's also quick to recharge, taking under one hour to go from totally dead to full power. Since I tend to decide last-minute to go camping (I'm a fair-weathered camper), the quick charging is super useful if I haven't planned in advance.
Dad is sure to find uses for the Solix C2000 Gen 2, from camping to yard work or for keeping the house powered up during the next storm. Shop today at Amazon and you'll be saving 50%.
Best kitchen deal Opens in a new window Credit: Ninja Ninja Slushi $233.99 at NinjaWho doesn't love a frozen beverage? The Ninja Slushi needs no ice and hardly any time to slushify almost any liquid. Dad can toss some cans of Coke in there to have a refreshing beverage, whip up a batch of frozen margs for the barbecue, or go for the title of making the world's best milkshake. Using code SLUSH at checkout will get you the Ninja Slushi for $233.99. And while it would technically be a gift for dad, you know you'll benefit, too.
Best water bottle deal Opens in a new window Credit: Owala Owala FreeSip (32 ounces, select colorways) $27.97 at AmazonFor the dad who's always forgetting to drink water, gift him Mashable's favorite water bottle. The Owala FreeSip allows for both tipping the water bottle up to take a big glug or sipping through the built-in straw. In Mashable's review of the Owala FreeSip, Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino said, "The FreeSip's insulation really is impeccable, offering 24 hours of cold. I've filled mine up with ice and water to come back a day later and still find the jingle of full ice cubes. Plus, the two-part locking lid can also double as a loop for easy carrying. Cleaning is also easy with the FreeSip."
The 32-ounce version of the FreeSip usually sells for $34.99, but Amazon has select colorways on sale for $27.97 or $27.99.
Best Lego deal Opens in a new window Credit: Lego Lego Star Wars R2-D2 (75379) $79.99 at AmazonIf the father figure in your life is a Star Wars fan and also enjoys building a Lego set, it's a win-win to snag the Lego Star Wars R2-D2. The build will look great on a bookshelf or on a desk, and the 25th anniversary edition features a Darth Malak minifigure.
Samsung has a new smartwatch coming out, the Galaxy Watch 9. We haven't seen it yet, but the Samsung Health app is already getting ready for its arrival.
The Korean tech giant announced in a blog post on Thursday that Samsung Health is getting an update starting on June 8 that will "showcase the key health features included in the upcoming Galaxy Watch." Of course, we haven't actually seen the watch yet (which we expect to be similar to the Galaxy Watch 8), but all available information suggests it will be announced in late July at a Galaxy Unpacked event in London.
SEE ALSO: A Samsung phone price increase could be on the way. Thank RAMageddon. Here's the Vitals screen. Credit: SamsungAs with the recent Google Health app update, AI is very much at the center of the new Samsung health portal.
“Samsung Health is evolving to connect health data measured by the Galaxy Watch with AI-based insights, enabling users to understand their physical condition more easily and intuitively,” said Hon Pak, Samsung SVP and Head of the Digital Health Team, in a blog post. "Samsung Electronics will continue to expand proactive and personalized health management experiences based on the connected Galaxy ecosystem and digital health innovations."
Anyway, as for the specific Samsung Health update, it brings a UI overhaul and some key new features that might hint at what to expect from the Galaxy Watch 9.
Samsung has "streamlined" (their words) the layout of the app into five key components: Sleep, Activity, Nutrition, Mindfulness, and Vitals. The Vitals display is a new one, as it studies several metrics, including heart rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen, while you sleep in order to compare them to your baselines and identify any potential problems.
There's also a new Heart Health Score, which combines several heart-related metrics into one easy-to-digest score. The new app also includes a Daily Cardio Load measurement, as well as a Fitness Index that exists to judge the effectiveness of your workouts. In all, it sounds like a pretty substantial update befitting a brand new smartwatch. We'll likely find out more in late July at the rumored Galaxy Unpacked event.

Given that Live Nation is a monopoly (according to a federal jury, anyway), getting a concert ticket for a decent price has been difficult in recent years. And artists are starting to get creative. Take Madonna, who last night streamed a pop-up performance on the ubiquitous gay hookup app, Grindr.
Madonna announced the surprise show on the app, and a half hour later took over Times Square. She debuted some tracks from her upcoming album, Confessions II, and performed some songs from the OG Confessions on a Dance Floor. Despite the short notice, Times Square filled up with fans. A Grindr bus was also there, naturally.
SEE ALSO: The great Grindr glossary: all terms and acronyms explained"The LGBTQ+ community has been with me from the beginning. We've inspired, challenged and stood by each other during both dark and joyful times," Madonna stated in a press release shared with Mashable. "Partnering with Grindr feels like a celebration of that connection – safety in numbers."
Credit: CobrasnakeIt's not the only collaboration the singer has done with Grindr. Last week, an interview with Madonna and several others — including Bob the Drag Queen and playwright Jeremy O. Harris — went live on Grindr's YouTube channel. During the discussion, Madonna discussed what it means to be a "mother" (in the slang sense of the word), and reiterated that the queer community has been her ride-or-die since the beginning of her career.
The concert will also be uploaded to Grindr's YouTube channel the week of June 8. Happy Pride!

TL;DR: Amazon has the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Perfect Order Booster Bundle available from just $48 through marketplace sellers. The Amazon-shipped listing with slightly faster delivery is also at $49.89, though you can get as low as $39.95 from Walmart and TCGplayer.
Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokémon Company Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Bundle $48 at AmazonStill the most affordable recent expansion in the Pokémon TCG, you can now grab the Perfect Order Booster Bundle even below market price — depending on your preferences for retailers.
As of June 5, the Pokémon TCG’s Perfect Order Booster Bundle is available at Amazon for $48, with the lowest-priced listing coming from The Ardor Group and including free shipping.
For a slightly speedier turnaround, you can pay $49.89 for the listing shipped from Amazon and sold by Collector’s Treasures — with delivery currently listed for June 10.
Either one gets you six booster packs from Perfect Order, each with 10 trading cards each, but it is a far more budget-friendly way of jumping into the expansion than investing in a much more expensive Booster Display Box.
Still, you have the chance to pull some valuable chase cards — including Mega Zygarde ex, with Mega Clefable ex, Mega Starmie ex, and Meowth ex. However, these are also available to buy individually on TCGplayer.

With Secretary of State Marco Rubio getting a grilling over Donald Trump's apparent mid-day napping habits, Seth Meyers decided to dig into the issue himself on Late Night.
"If there's one thing we know about Trump it's that he's a keen judge of character, he's alway paying close attention to the habits and qualities of the people around him," says Meyers over footage of Trump with his eyes closed in the Oval Office. "We've all seen him in meetings, razor sharp, laser-focussed, locking eyes with everyone around him, carefully scrutinising every word and every gesture, taking the true measure of the men and the soon-to-be-fired women who make up his administration and sure, to you it looks like he's asleep, but everyone looks like they're sleeping when you're so woke."
Cue five minutes of detailed analysis on the president's sleeping habits.

Thanks for signing up!If big bass is a high priority for you in headphones, the Sony ULT Wear can deliver. Mashable's Miller Kern noted in her original review that the "booming sound makes other (decidedly good) headphones sound flat, and the option to punch the bass up two levels is something I didn’t even know I needed in a pair of headphones."
She does mention that the "design is not as sleek as other headphones I’ve worn or seen, but that’s a fair tradeoff for amazing sound and a more affordable price." They'll last you quite a while through any long journeys you have planned as well, as they offer up to 30 hours of battery life.
Why not treat yourself to a pair of new headphones this summer? Save big on the Sony ULT Wear headphones at Amazon.

If you found yourselves in the Backrooms, the nightmarish liminal space dimension found in Kane Parsons' movie of the same name, how would you survive?
The director himself has some tips. In the Tonight Show interview above, Parsons tells Jimmy Fallon that the three items he'd take with him would be "a hydrogen bomb, a really big magnet, and a toaster."
And as for his advice for anyone who does find themselves trapped in those endless yellow rooms?
"Make peace with it," says Parsons. "Don't give yourself hope."

Dua Lipa has become a very specific kind of modern pop star. Yes, she’s famous. Yes, she is smart with incredible taste. Yes, she’s beautiful and rich. Yes, she is constantly on vacation. But her version of celebrity leisure doesn’t read as empty in the way a lot of celebrity leisure does.
Lipa's Instagram is basically a mood board for a dream version of adulthood: travel, food, dancing, friends, books, outfits, activism, beaches, museums, a really, really hot fiancé. She doesn’t really seem to be selling luxury, but she does seem to be selling the idea that pleasure is a perfectly fine end-goal. And not just through Instagram — Lipa's editorial platform Service95 positions itself as "the ultimate cultural concierge" through its website, newsletters, podcast, and popular book club.
Right now, the internet is obsessed with a certain fantasy of living beautifully without turning every single part of your life into work. Think Euro summer mood boards. Think Anthony Bourdain nostalgia. Think "it girl" reading culture. Think travel TikTok. Think the creator economy fantasy that your life could be both your job and your art.
Writer Madison Huizinga called this "the Dua Effect": a brand built around abundance and being a student of life. And Lipa's building it at the right time. Because for a lot of young people, the fantasy is to just have enough time, money, and emotional space to pursue curiosity. To read, travel, go to dinner, learn a language, make art and be social. Ultimately, to have a life that doesn’t feel completely consumed by productivity. Gen Z is less likely to be interested in hustle culture than previous generations — "the grind" is losing its appeal. That's not to say Lupa doesn't work extremely hard (she does) — it's just not visible on her Instagram feed.
Lipa's leisure feels different from, say, an influencer posting a sponsored hotel stay or a billionaire giving a tour of their closet — and that's despite Lipa partnering with tech giants like Google for sponsored, curated restaurant lists around the world. Her life is obviously excessive, but it’s framed as enrichment. Of course, that’s also the tension. Lipa's life is not replicable for most people. Most of us cannot casually build an international existence out of beaches, books, parties, and perfectly lit dinners. And the obsession with her probably won’t last — it never does.

Curious about eharmony but not yet ready to dish out your credit card details? You're not alone, and the good news is that the dating site is reasonably generous in the scope it gives to non-paying members.
In fact, there's almost no aspect of the user interface that is totally restricted to paid accounts, so if you want to get a sense of how the site operates and the emphasis it places on matchmaking assessments, testing the waters with a free account is a great idea.

Apply (some) search criteriaIn the Discover section of the site, eharmony will present you with the profiles of various singles that fit your match criteria, helping you narrow down your search for a significant other. For free members, however, there are only a limited number of filters that you can apply.
These include height range, age range, and whether or not someone is a smoker or has/wants children. If you upgrade to a premium account, however, you'll unlock many more filter options, including ethnicity, religion, income range, and education level.

Read profile biosWith a free account, you don't get full access to people's profiles, but you can generally get a very thorough understanding of who they are as a person, since key details like their hobbies, marital status, gender, location, height and body type, and even dating preferences are all visible.
Verify your accountTo get your eharmony account verified, follow these steps:
Click on the SMS Verification button on your profile
Enter your mobile phone number and click "Start the SMS verification"
You will receive a verification code via text
Enter the verification code in your eharmony prompt screen
If you follow the above steps, you'll earn a verification symbol on your profile, which is like a little vote of confidence to help potential matches trust in the authenticity of your account.
Get matchesFree accounts are every bit as visible in the Discovery section as paid accounts, and they're allowed to like and dislike others, so don't be surprised when you start getting notifications that other people you've liked have returned your interest.
There is a catch, though … there's still a lot you can't do with a free account.
What you can't do with a free accountView profile photosIf you're into blind dating, this might not be an issue, but the average online dater still wants to see what their match or potential match looks like, and eharmony blurs the profile photos for non-paying accounts, not enough to totally hide the photo — you can usually make out face shape and even hair color, for example — but enough to heighten the mystery.
Initiate chatsAs a non-paying member, you can send a message whenever you like an account, which is a great way to improve your odds of a match, and you can send matches an Icebreaker, eharmony's interactive photo-pairing game to help start a conversation, but you won't actually be able to send back-and-forth messages without giving up your credit card details.

What a cybersecurity expert says.Worse, still, if you are sent a message by someone who happened to like your profile, you won't be able to read it without upgrading your account, which can be quite tortuous when the person you've been eyeing finally shows up in your inbox.
This is why eharmony's free accounts are really a "trap," because even though there's a fair amount of stuff you can do on the site for free, benefitting from your efforts really requires an upgrade.
