There’s not a sock – or sock subscription – in sight! He can binge-watch and learn at the same time, and there are hundreds of courses in the library, with new content added every month. For dad’s that are Mac owners, CleanMyMac X is the perfect gift. CleanMyMac X is a one-stop-shop tool that cleans, protects, and speeds up Macs. With a few clicks, dad can initiate a scan that digs through his Mac, rooting out junk and malware, and helping to bring back the speed and performance that the system once had. Ancestry has access to billions of records, which means that the family tree he builds will be more than just names and dates, but will be able to go deeper and get personal insights into those family members, from where they lived, how much they earned, and even photos, signatures, and much more. Audible has a wide array of content, spanning every genre from fiction to non-fiction, from a huge range of authors and narrators. Audible is also great because it integrates with a whole raft of devices and platforms, so your dad can listen wherever he wants, and even start a book on one device and pick up exactly where he left off on another. Backblaze is a great choice because it automatically backs up all files including documents, photos, music, and movies. Unlimited files, no matter how big. Additionally, every device gets unlimited storage and the fastest possible speed. Backblaze also keeps old file versions and deleted files for 30-days, with the option to increase this to a year. There’s a lot to like about this package. Right at the top of the list is its near-perfect malware detection score, along with a negligible effect on system performance. Kaspersky Total Security sits in the background discreetly until you need its help. Then, there’s the five-device license that you get with a yearly subscription that covers Windows, Mac, iPhone and iPad, and Android devices. This is a great benefit in that you don’t need to spend extra money or go through a different learning curve on each platform. While the free version of Zoom does a lot, there are limits, such as the 40 minute limit of group meetings, and no ability to record sessions (these seem to be becoming the new family photo). There’s also a great selection of yoga instructors and programs that will appeal to those looking to get into or advance their yoga practice. Plenty to keep Dad occupied! You can gift Kindle Unlimited subscriptions for 6-, 12-, and 24-months. Dad gets to binge read without the worry of finding space for physical books, and without having to carry them around with him.
