Mr. Frugal
Mr. Frugal
This dad's not going to splurge on himself, and he'll be disappointed if you do it for him. He'll be most impressed with gear that delivers plenty of performance at a great price point. Focus on the value, and hey, show off the receipt when you give him one of these gifts.

Dad will appreciate the DI-524, a no-frills wireless router that's still powerful enough to deliver coverage to a small home.

Looking to get Dad to ditch the 35mm point-and-shoot? Lure him into the 21st century with Kodak's CX7430, a speedy camera with a nice, clean design and a bargain-basement price.

With the arrival of Sony's PSP, it's cool for more mature guys to do a little gaming on the go. But if Dad hates to part with a buck, he'd probably complain about how expensive the games are for the PSP, which isn't cheap itself. So get him a Game Boy Advance SP, and he can play and still be cool for less.
