In many countries around the world, such as Great Britain, Canada, the U.S. and France, Father’s Day is celebrated the third Sunday in June, which falls on the 19th this year. We have several gifts to suggest so you can make up for all those years of tacky presents. We have something perfect for your dad, no matter what he’s like:
1. Digital counting money jar
If your dad’s thrifty by nature, he’ll love this digital counting money jar. He can keep track of his savings, all those coins he finds in his trouser pockets. He’ll enjoy seeing the digital screen display increased savings each day.
2. Viagra anti-stress ball.
If he works a lot and is stressed all the time try an anti-stress ball shaped like a Viagra pill. Maybe that’s the source of his problem... and when he squeezes the blue pill he may realize a visit to the pharmacy is in order.
3. Beverage cooler
At restaurants, he always complains that the beer is cold and at home he’s constantly filling the ice tray. This demanding dad needs a machine that cools beveragesat the speed of light. With Cooper Cooler, his coke will be ice-cold in just 3 minutes. You can also get him a classic ice try. These make ice cubes shaped like the Titanic and icebergs. That way he can play boats with his gin tonic!
4. Swiss Army Knife with USB memory stick
Your dad is one of these guys who can open the door using a credit card and know thousands of DIY tricks. If he also loves computers, he’ll be thrilled to have a Swiss Army Knife with a USB memory stick. He’ll have everything on hand: knife, laser pointer, little scissors and, of course, a 4GB memory stick.
5. Nature-sounds white noise generator
He’s always in a bad mood and does nothing but yell when he gets home. Be understanding, the poor man has been working all day. Reward him with Marsona, a machine that generates sounds from nature and also serves to mask annoying and bothersome noises. He’ll finally rest easy.
6. Chocolate calculator,
The doctor warned him to stay away from the fridge: no potatoes, no red meat, no sweets... he simply must shed those extra pounds. Get him a Choc-u-lator, a calculator shaped like a chocolate bar. He can use it to calculate how many pounds he’s got left to lose before he can sink his teeth into a chocolate bar as delicious as this one.
7. Turning leaves mobile
This is an all-purpose gift, just what you need if you have no clue what to get your dad. It’s a decorative mobile designed in Denmarkwith leaves that move independently. Relaxing, evocative, and very original.
8. Luggage scale
He’s constantly traveling to exotic lands, but he never gets you anything because he doesn’t want to pay for excess luggage. Give him a hint with this discrete device that he can use to weigh his suitcase. He can use it at the hotel to check that the gift you requested isn’t really that heavy. Now, just get ready to receive the most awful souvenirs on the planet.
9. Reversible Tie
Does he practically live at the office? Give him a reversible tiewith a fun drawing on the back; it’ll help make his work long days a little easier to bear. This one’s dark grey, a very suitable color to wear to the office, but if you flip it over... it turns into a perfect noose he can use to "hang himself" when he’s sick of working.
10. USB record player
Nowadays, people like your dad who collect vinyl records can do one of two things: either strike it rich by selling their prized records on eBay, or transfer them to a 21st Century format with this USB record player. It’s as easy as putting on a record. Help him with the first one, and he can do the other 500 albums himself.
If your dad’s a bit strange and none of these gifts is really right for him, don’t worry, we have more. Check out our selection of gift items.
