Buying for a parent who hates apps

The best gift for someone who hates apps is one they never have to set up. No pairing, no password, no phone call to you when the update fails.

What to look for

One control per job. A switch for on, a dial for warmer. Nothing hidden in a menu.
Labels you can read. Printed markings, not icons on a screen.
Nothing to sign in to. If it needs an account, it needs you.
Parts and repairs. A product that can be fixed won’t turn into a replacement project.
