MEGABOOM 3 has been designed to get wet and keep on booming. Featuring a ridiculous IP67 water and dustproof rating, it can be totally submerged in water for up to 30-minutes. Plus, it floats, so if swimming or fishing is on dad’s agenda, this is the speaker for him.
With features like the magic button for complete playlist control and a 20-hour battery life, dad will be rocking out long into the night.
Smart water
Dad loves his garden but doesn’t have the time to maintain in? Make his life easier with Eve Aqua. This clever smart device converts an outdoor tap into an intelligent water outlet. So your dad can keep his garden green with little to zero effort. He can activate his sprinkler via his iPhone, Siri, or the onboard button, and allow it to shut off automatically. 
The handy bit of kit also allows your dad to see how much water he’s really using to keep that grass looking lush.
You might just need to help him set it up!
