A few gifts that (should) arrive on time

This summer, Dad will appreciate a portable speaker like the Sonos Roam. He won't need to worry if the speaker gets wet, because it has an IP67 dust and water resistance rating, and it has great sound that makes it one of the bestBluetooth speakers out there.
