Father’s Day falls on Sunday 17th June this year, leaving you with plenty of time to purchase the perfect present. But what do you buy Dad for Father’s Day if his sock drawer is full to the brim and he already owns the DVDs of all his favourite stand-up comedians? Well, if he’s a self-confessed gadget geek, we’ve got some gift ideas he’s bound to love! So, whether you’re buying for your dad or husband (on your kids’ behalf!), here’s Team GP’s round-up of gadgets we think will make the ultimate Father’s Day gift, whatever he’s into… For the part-time chef What is it with dads and barbecues!?

This year’s Early May Bank Holiday was the hottest on record, with the glorious sunshine inspiring many of us to ditch our living rooms for the back garden, fire up the barbecue and dine al fresco with our friends and family. If you didn’t manage to get your grill on, don’t fret. Fingers crossed, there’ll be plenty more opportunities as the summer goes on – why not get one in the diary for National BBQ Week, taking place from 28th May to 3rd June? In the meantime, if your hosting skills are as rusty as the barbecue hiding in your garage, then reading this guide should help you to throw a memorable bash... 1. Bring out the barbie First things first: inspect your barbecue. Even if it’s been stored under a cover, chances are it’ll need a good wipe down. If the grill still has the remnants of last year’s food baked onto it, firing up the barbie should burn some of it off. Once the grill has cooled, use this Barbecooksteel brush, some warm, soapy water and a dose o

Are you jetting off on holiday this year? Along with stocking up on the essentials and sorting your travel money, you need to think about how you’re going to charge your tech – such as phones, tablets, smart watches and digital cameras – while you’re away; not to mention those portable fans if you’re heading somewhere hot! Here are some reasons why the new GP Charge AnyWay makes the ultimate travel companion and should take pride of place on your holiday shopping list this year… 1.It’s safe for travel The first, and perhaps most important, benefit of flying with the GP Charge AnyWay is that it is completely safe for travel - unlike many other regular PowerBanks on the market. Why? Because the GP Charge AnyWay doesn’t contain lithium, which is classified as ‘dangerous goods’ by air control. This means that it can be kept in either your carry-on baggage for battery boosting during your flight, or stored safely in your check-in luggage for use once you’ve reached your d

Not only is summer fast approaching, but the bright and cheery month of May gives us not one, but two bank holidays for us to enjoy with our friends and family. If you’re a parent with kids to entertain over the three-day weekends, we’re about to inspire you with a list of fun, family-friendly activities. And do you want to know the best thing about them? They don’t cost a bean! Picnic (and party) in the park Parks are the ideal places to spend the day when the sun’s shining, while picnics provide a great opportunity to get together with other families, indulge in some tasty grub and go head-to-head playing some fun-filled games (rounders tops our list). Make it a group effort by each bringing a few dishes and drinks – and if you’re designated DJ, don’t forget to pack a decent PowerBank to boost your speakers when the battery starts to run low!
