Is Your Dad Weird? We Have The Perfect Father's Day Gift

Is Your Dad Weird? We Have The Perfect Gift

A father's work is never done, especially when it comes to hinting what gifts he'd prefer to get on Father's Day.

While advertisers inundate us with messages that Dad wants barbecue supplies, ties, or golf gear, the truth is, papa really wants something that is one-of-a-kind, something unique, something weird.

Sadly, even the most intuitive kids don't pick up their patriarch's signals when it comes to Father's Day.

That's why we're making it simple with our Fifth Annual Weird Father's Day Gift Guide.

Dad: Simply show the photos to your clueless offspring and relax, knowing that your Father's Day will be fun, satisfying, and, yes, weird.

Mount Kissmore

Dad's world will be rocked all night when he sees this polystone sculpture of the only band that matters. He will then party every day he sees Mount Kissmore on his mantel.
Strongman Toilet Paper Holder
AlwaysFits.com
The toilet roll holder is supposed to be a modern convenience. Instead, it's just a source of arguments since people can't agree whether the roll should go over the top or under the bottom. The Gluty-S Maximus roll holder solves the problem by putting the roll where it should go -- on the barbells of a mustachioed circus strongman.
Condiment Gun
Fun.com
The Second Amendment doesn't specifically guarantee the right for Americans to use firearms as a way to apply condiments onto hot dogs, but you'll have to pry this condiment gun from my cold dead hands.

Triple Beverage Dispenser Backpack
Swagdaddy.com
There's nothing worse than being thirsty.There's nothing better to counteract that than this triple beverage dispenser. Dad will be the life of the party, but only if he chooses to share the booze with others.And, yes, he's going to fill it with booze. You don't give a dad a triple beverage dispenser and expect him to fill it with soft drinks, do you?
Ninja Garden Gnome
Firebox.com
As "The Wizard of Oz" proves, scarecrows are woefully inept at actually scaring away birds. Not so with a ninja garden gnome. If it isn't the solar-powered glowing eyes, it's the fact you never know where they are in the garden.
Darth Vader Onesie
Jennifer Moye
If your dad was the one who introduced you to "Star Wars," he will tear up when you give him this Darth Vader onesie. If he likes corny jokes, you will cry the 759th time he says, "Luke, I am your father" after he puts it on.
Half Pint Glass

Coffee Mug That Looks Like Camera Lens

Shot Glass Roulette
TheGiftsForMen.com
Being a good dad is a gamble, but not the fun Las Vegas kind. If you've driven your dad to drink, then at least make it fun for him by playing a few rounds of shot glass roulette. Remember the No. 1 rule: Always bet on blackout.
Bluetooth-Connected Lightbulbs
Awox.com
Even if your dad isn't too bright, he should be able to understand the appeal of having Bluetooth-connected lightbulbs capable of playing his, ugh, "Dad rock" without hooking up an archaic stereo system.The lightbulbs also can change colors to reflect his various moods, such as when he can't get his Bluetooth lightbulbs to work right.
The Swuit
Shop.Fox.com
Even the biggest slob of a dad will be willing to dress up if he's allowed to wear the Swuit, a dress suit made from sweatsuit material.Take it from personal experience: If Dad wears this in public, he will be asked to take selfies with pretty much everyone not in your family.
Wireless Stereo System That Looks Like A Flask With A Skull On It

"A flask with a skull on it!""Actually, Dad, it's a wireless stereo system that looks like a flask.""But this is a picture of a skull, right? Not something else?""No, that's a skull, but the object isn't a flask. It's a wireless stereo system.""OK. Now I need a drink, which I could have if you gave me a real flask instead of a wireless stereo system that looks like one.""Oh, Dad."
Ninja With Wallet Ninja
ToolsForNinjas.com
Some dads don't like to go anywhere without a tool chest or tool belt. This can be awkward when he wants to get on a plane, or go to a concert hall. For those occasions, there is the Wallet Ninja, which is only the size of a credit card but contains a bottle opener, mini-ruler, can opener, screwdrivers, letter opener and margarita blender (I made the last one up).
Shaidee
Shaidee.com
It's tough being a new dad because you're so big and they're so little. Plus, you quickly realize that EVERYTHING you do could have an effect on them, either positive or negative.The Shaidee is a way to protect the little nipper from getting sunburned while you're out and about without you having to pay too much attention to them.

Before You Go

IGrow Laser Helmet
IGrowLaser.com
Dad may say he doesn't want anything for Father's Day, but, chances are, he would like back some of the hair he pulled out of his head trying to raise you properly.The IGrow hair growth system is supposed to increase hair growth through a helmet that shoots laser beams on the scalp.It costs $695, but you should get that money back from Dad when you threaten to post photos of him wearing the helmet on social media.
Six Pack Beer Belt
Wayfair.com

Tent That Looks Like 1965 VW Van
themonsterfactoryusa.com

Sunglasses That Double As Beer Openers
Rakuten.com
For some boozehound daddies, nothing is worse than being without a bottle opener. Brewsees solves that dilemma by putting bottle openers on the frames of sunglasses. Best of all: Your father will spend hours telling people about how, when all hope was lost, your gift allowed him to get his drink on.

Knit Gladiator Helmet
HalloweenCostumes.com

T&A Pole Dancer Drink Stirrer and Skull Glass

These cocktail stirrers of pole dancers will remind him of the times when he learned the hard way that there is no sex in the champagne room.
Bacon Wallet
Fun.com
It's safe to say we've reached peak bacon. However, part of being a dad means being slightly behind the times so he will love this bacon wallet and be convinced that he is somehow "hip" by using it. That is, unless he's a vegan.

Reel Roasters are set up like a fishing pole so that Dad can relax while cooking his weenie to his exact specifications.
Fancy Looking Bibs
http://www.dresstiez.com
Just because your dad is dressed to the nines doesn't mean he's not a slob when he eats. Sadly, it's not respectable for an adult to ask for a bib. But Dress Tiez bibs allow Pop to eat like a pig without worrying he will get most of his meal on his shirt.
ManCrates Zombie Kit
ManCrates.com

Bottle Stopper
Wayfair.com
How big is this guy's appendage? Big enough to cork a wine bottle. 'Nuff said.
Chinon Legato Speaker For iPhone
chinonshop.com
If Pop is an audiophile, he might occasionally gripe about the bad sound quality of iPhones. That is, when he's griping about his arthritis, rheumatism or not being able to carry an AK-47 into Chipotle. The Legato uses a wood horn-like creation to naturally amplify the iPhone without the use of batteries. He will be happy with the sound, and go back to griping about not being able to bring firearms into Chipotle.
Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker That Looks Like Sperm
BoomMovement.com
If you're spending Father's Day by the pool, Dad will get a kick out of this waterproof bluetooth speaker that allows him to play his favorite tunes without risking ruining that iPod you gave him last year.This speaker is called the Swimmer, which is fitting since it looks just like the "swimmers" that made him a dad in the first place.
Spinach Can Koozie
Halloween Costumes
Just because Dad drinks a lot of beer doesn't mean he wants everyone to know. This Koozie will keep his suds cold while fooling everyone else that he's actually eating salad. Lots and lots of salad. Like 12 cans at a time.
