Spoil the men in your life with tech gifts from Telstra.

We've got gifts for gents all wrapped up

Finding a gift for the man in you life can be tricky, especially if he has everything. The good news is, we’ve taken the challenge out of shopping for his gift by rounding up our top 10 favourites.

Our one-stop gifting destination is for any man: husbands, brothers, uncles, boyfriends, and sons. Father's Day to birthdays, Valentine’s Day to Christmas, why not surprise him with something he really wants? Just because. 

 

Unmatched speed: The 5G phone he deserves

In an age of hi-tech gadgets and cutting-edge devices, there’s no better treat than the latest mobile phone. He’ll appreciate an easy-to-use but hardy phone that will see him through the day. The question is, which brand and model stands out from the pack?

You’ll want to consider a 5G-ready device so he can easily connect and enjoy access to a more efficient network. Samsung has a range of high-end devices that combine 5G capabilities with impressive specs like a triple rear camera, stunning AMOLED displays, and superior chipsets for smooth browsing experiences.

Or maybe he's more of an Apple guy. Imagine his delight when he unwraps a new iPhone 15 - in all its 5G, A16 Bionic chip, Super Retina XDR display, dynamic island glory. That'll make his everyday, extraordinary. 

You can also build the ultimate mobile package. Choose the right phone, then add a mobile plan that suits his needs. With no lock-in contracts, our new month-to-month plans offer flexibility and peace of mind. If you want to cancel, simply pay out the remaining cost of the device.

If that doesn’t appeal, you can purchase most phones outright with a one-off payment then explore our Pre-Paid mobile options. We’ve got a plan that offers great value for everyday use, or a long-life plan if he doesn’t use his phone often. 

 

Choose a tablet for work and play

Busy guys appreciate having the right tech by their side. Whether you have a dad who loves reading, a boyfriend who games, a husband who’s into movies or a creative son, tablets are the perfect all-in-one sidekick.

They provide powerful laptop-like capabilities, but with the portability of a mobile phone. Immersive screen displays coupled with theatre-like stereo systems make them the go-to for entertainment.

Will he be using it for work? Next-level note-taking functions come built into each system. You can add a smart keyboard and a Pen or Pencil for added comfort when it comes time to work the boardroom or classroom.  

For Apple lovers, one of the latest iPads will do the trick. If he’s more of an Android fan, our range of Samsung Galaxy Tabs are sure to get him excited. Whichever you decide on, these gadgets will keep him productive and informed while he’s on-the-go. Simply wrap up one of the latest and it’s sure to be his new favourite toy.

 

For the man who just won't stop moving

When it comes to accessories, it can be a struggle finding the right one for the men in your life. Luckily, wearables are some of today’s most trendy pieces and commonly at the top of everyone’s wishlist. If you’re after a foolproof gift, a smartwatch is the way to his heart.

Our range of smartwatches are made to move alongside an active and energetic dad, husband, brother and son. Not only will it seamlessly connect to his phone, it’ll get him to build healthy habits that stick. Elevated activity tracking and heart rate monitoring capabilities will help him get fit and stay healthy. Some higher end models in the market are even water resistant for those who love to swim or surf.

From no-frills motivation companions to the latest in cutting-edge technology, we’ve got wearables in all shapes, sizes and price points.

 

Get him gaming on Australia's best network

If you’ve got a gamer guy in the house, chances are you’ll want to gear him up with the right kit. It’s also a great opportunity for pro-gamer dads and sons to get the family playing along. 

Bring a smile to any gamer enthusiast's face with the fun Nintendo Switch. This innovative console adapts to his lifestyle, offering him the flexibility to switch from a home console to a portable system in a snap. Why not add a couple of extra controllers so he can play with his mates?

Or, gift him the best of the best with the PlayStation 5, a classic console with unbeatable graphics and an ultra high speed SSD that creates a breathtaking visual feast that's second to none. Whether he’s traversing alien worlds or commanding epic battles, the PlayStation 5 is the gateway to next-generation gaming. 

Not a PlayStation fan? Consider the new Xbox Series X instead. Another serious power player in the console game, he’ll be playing with 12 teraflops of raw graphic processing power for action like never before. Couple it with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate monthly subscription that gives him access to over 100 games, EA play and online multiplayer. The opportunities are endless with such an impressive line-up of games. 

 

Score points with die hard sports fans 

Got a sports fanatic on your hands? Score the winning point with this present. With over 15,000 hours of on-demand sports content, a subscription to Kayo Sports will keep him occupied with all his favourite matches and events.

Stream sports live with an incredible line-up from the AFL, Rugby League, NBA, Supercars, Big Bash, ATP, UFC and so much more. Watch them on-demand or on replay, on-the-go or on the big screen; one thing’s for sure, he’ll never miss another game.  

 

Bring him a world of wireless

Whether he’s always on-the-go or a Sunday morning chiller, he’ll want his sounds with him every step of the way. Music may be his jam, or he may prefer tuning in to a serialised podcast – regardless of what his audio preferences are, he’ll appreciate a good set of headphones or speakers to complement that.

Listen to his hints and discover a wireless world of sound, creativity and productivity. You’ll find noise-cancelling headphones, professional earbuds, Bluetooth-enabled speakers and even smart home devices with in-built speakers. Our range of headphones and speakers include some of the best brands on the market, such as Sony, JBL, Sprout and more.
