Father’s Day is swiftly approaching — and you know what that means. Everyone from The Home Depot to Amazon is hosting a Father’s Day sale in the run-up to the holiday this weekend, and some retailers are even offering better deals than those we saw during Memorial Day. What’s more, a number of those discounts apply to items that will make for great gifts, allowing you to snag a Sonos Roam, the latest AirPods Pro, or Google’s 4K-ready Chromecast at a fraction of the cost.
As always, we’ve scoured the web and rounded up some of the best Father’s Day tech deals you can get. Take a look, and be sure to also check out our main Father’s Day gift guide and our budget-friendly version for some extra inspiration.
//this line summons a table of contents. use as follows!
//initiateTOC takes the arguments "header", "subheader", "collapsible"
//for whatever header type ("h2", "h3" etc) you want to be the main header, type it in quotes in the function call.
//if you don't want subheads, set to false in the function call (no quotes)
//collapsible is a true/false toggle
//if you want a specific, unlinked title just add a string at the end in double quotes, e.g. false, "h3", false, "This is the title"
//see graham if you have any questions/issues
// note that all the header types are off by one: an h1 in the CMS is an h2 in the actual code. If you just want h2 and h3 to show up in the TOC you need to call them h3 and h4.
