Maybe he’s been dropping hints about needing some grilling accessories or maybe you just know him well enough to know he needs a few practical items.

He can use this to crush fitness goals.
Some fitness trackers have an overall bulky look, but FitBit’s Charge 4 has a sleek style and the black on black or black and granite band is a wear-with-everything neutral. This small gadget tracks things like heart rate, workouts, and steps, which is why we named it our favorite fitness tracker. Your stepdad can get alerts and encouragement when he’s nearing a fitness goal. Even when he’s not working up a sweat, the built-in GPS is sure to come in handy, as will call and text alerts. It’s also waterproof up to 50 meters, so he can still swim or shower with it.

"Alexa, tell me what the weather is."

It can even connect to and manage other smart devices (lamps, locks, televisions, thermostats). It takes up minimal space on a desktop and is a great entry-level smart speaker to get your stepdad started on building his own smart home.
