These are crazy times, so shouldn’t your Father’s Day gifts reflect that?
Exactly!
Your pop probably doesn’t need any more ties, tools or “Grumpy Man” T-shirts, but a fishing pole made for cooking weenies over a fire? Absolutely! A collection of rubber ducks made in the image of the “Friends” cast? Shut up and take my money!
Finding weird gifts is hard, even in normal times, and pandemic-related shortages can make shopping even more challenging.

Evidence Brand Marijuana
Cannabis is pretty much legal in many states these days. But if your dad is nostalgic for when pot was criminal, the Evidence brand of marijuana is for him. It comes in what looks like an actual evidence bag to remind him of the ... good old days??
HeyKube

Out Of Your Head
Is your music-loving dad missing seeing live shows -- or, more importantly, hearing them in all their glory? The Out Of Your Head software allows audiophile dads to hear their favorite Dad Rock recordings as if they are coming from a $30,000 pair of speakers and not a $40 pair of headphones. The downside is that he may want you to listen to Steely Dan even more now. Unintended consequences, I guess.

How many Father's Day parties have been ruined because Dad got a bad case of hiccups? Very few, probably. Oh. Theoretically, if there was a risk, you could minimize it with the Hiccaway, a straw designed to minimize involuntary spasms of the diaphragm.
Cacamamie: The Game Of Poop
There are crappier ways to spend Father's Day than playing Cacamamie, a poop-oriented product that calls itself "the No. 2 game in America."

What if a dad gets the sudden urge to grill, but is miles away from the barbecue at home? The Hitchfire Grill hooks onto the back of his vehicle, so he's never far from the pleasures of grilling.
The Spleash
Rover gets thirsty when walking with Dad, but carrying around a bowl is inconvenient. And watching the dog sip off a sprinkler is just sad. The Spleash is a leash that holds water, so the dog can wet its whistle. Thank you, technology.
