Internet sales jumped 30.3 percent on Cyber Monday, making it the biggest online shopping day ever, according to IBM. Monday was also a record day for sales of Amazon.com Inc's Kindle electronic devices, the online retailer said, without saying how many it sold.

Kindle Fire HD



Amazon has Kindle e-readers for as low as $69, but if you really want to surprise dad get him the Kindle Fire HD for $199. This 7-inch tablet has a great screen for the price and the device works well for movies, TV shows, games, and other apps. It’s not a productivity tool like an iPad or a Surface, but it’s a lot of fun and it costs hundreds of dollars less.

A Patriots jersey



Does Dad root for the Pats? You can score him everything from a throwback jersey honoring Steve Grogan or a modern-day Tom Brady shirt with replica jerseys coming in at $99.95. If you want to go full-on authentic game jersey, you’ll be out of your $200 price range, unless you want to go for departed wide receiver Wes Welker’s jersey which is bargain-priced at $100.

With the new Xbox One being announced, you might think the Xbox 360 no longer makes a good gift. You be wrong as the current version of the system still packs a lot of punch and gamemakers will still be releasing titles on the 360 for years to come. Amazon currently has a basic Xbox bundle for $179.96.
