2023 Geeky Fathers Day Gift Ideas. Plus 6 Dad Jokes
By Corporal Punishment |
What do you get for the guy who seems to have everything he needs? Sure, you can replace his beat-up old slippers and get him some new wollen socks that Dumbledore would appreciate, but you know he won't use them. So you grab something to BBQ stamped on it with and a six-pack of beer, and you're good to go. Well, maybe this year, it's time to shake things up and get something a little different and geekier. Something cool that will make Dad super excited and ask…where did you get this? Here are some that we came across in our travels.
Big Skinny Wallets
OK. Let's start with that beat-up wallet that every dad has and discuss the awesomeness that is Big Skinny. Big Skinny wallets are genuinely fantastic. I switched to them years ago and won't return to the bulky style. They are super thin and light, but they can hold a lot of stuff. There are no gimmicks to them, just thinness and functionality. They come in several colors and even have a zip-close model that is wicked handy. Below is a photo of my actual wallet. You can see it is less than the width of a key row, and in it is some cash, four credit cards, my health card, ID, registration, two store discount cards, and my Minister ID from the Universal Life Church, another great gift come to think of it.
Robotic Lawn Mower
Give the ultimate gift of free time. Robotic lawnmowers are like a Roomba for your lawn. They come in many shapes and sizes, but the better ones add Bluetooth, phone integration boundaries, and anti-theft GPS tracking... In case his neighbors covet his new technological marvel. They will set you back a few bucks, but Dad can relax while this automatic robotic lawn mower takes care of the grass, and he will never ask you to do it again.
Magnetic Flashlight
For the DIY Dad who has everything but someone to pick up after him. This LED flashlight has an extendable magnetic stick on the end of the light to pick up all the bolts, nuts, and other items left behind or dropped during dads Dad's latest project. Anyone who has ever dropped one of those ridiculously tiny screws in a PC case or fumbled another 10mm socket end into the deep dark bowels of a car engine will see this and love it. This version includes an optional add-on pack with mirrors and other tools to see what you can never reach.
Cocktail Smoker Kit
If your Dad enjoys spirits, this DIY smoker kit is a unique kit that lets him relax with his favorite drink and take the flavors to the next level with it. Not only can you infuse your favorite beverages with your choice of smoky flavor you can also use this to smoke meats, cheeses, dried fruits, and BBQ. 4 different flavors of smoker woods chips (apple, cherry, pecan, and oak) are included, but you can add whatever you like to customize your experience. Blaze your senses using the smoking gun torch to ignite the wood chips to create your original smoke-infused food or drink. Tip: the kit does NOT ship with butane, so you will need to pick up a can to complete the gift.
Chateau Picard Wine Bundle
Is Dad not into the hard stuff? More of a refind guy? How about a Chateau Picard Wine Bundle. This pack included two stemless wine glasses, two wine discs, one corkscrew with a cutter, and a wine tote. All you need to enjoy is a bottle or two in the countryside while discussing why a lovely sparkling wine from California or a New Zealand Pinot Noir is far superior to Romulan Ale.
Bottle Breacher
Imagine opening a cold beer on Father's Day using a .50 caliber bullet as a bottle opener. Cool, right? As seen on Shark Tank, these bottle openers are a genuinely unique way of saying, "Thanks for not firing one of these off at me when I "borrowed" your car without your knowledge."
Each is hand-crafted by military veterans who use the same ammunition to defend the country. The bullets come in a variety of colors and finishes. They can also be engraved so that you can customize them with your Dad's name or a special message. Your Dad will love these unique and badass gifts that show how much you appreciate him.
HyperGear Beast XL Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Speaker
With a name like BeastXL, how can you go wrong? Beast XL is made for adventure. This travel-friendly sound system can withstand not just splashes but waves of water with IPX6 certification waterproofing. It has an integrated noise-canceling microphone, so you can take calls without distracting the listener. And did we mention the sound? Anytime. Anywhere 30 watts of power with five drivers, a woofer, and two tweeters... Nice. Wirelessly connect using Bluetooth for crystal clear sound and up to 16 hours of wireless playtime on a single charge!

Firefly Yahtzee
Combine Firefly, the fantastic sci-fi show that was stupidly canceled early (Yeah, I'm still pissed after 20 years. I'm also still pissed at Yoko), with the best six-sided dice game of all time, and you have something unique for Dad. Firefly Yahtzee is just like every other Yahzee game, but you use a replica of the spaceship Serenity to toss your dice, and they have Chinese charter-like symbols on them for authenticity. Imagine the gameplay banter when you toll a Yahtzee while discussing the pros and cons of Captain Mal's witty Western style with that of James T. Kirk or even Han Solo. That's Father's day Memories right there.
Official Star Lord Cosplay Helmet
Let's be honest. I have no idea if your Dad would be into cosplay and the Marvel-verse. I mean, he probably is. Who isn't? But I just got a chance to see the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie, and it was AWESOME! Dark but awesome! And I would like a Star Lord Cosplay helmet, and I'm hoping my kid reads this in time.
The General Hot Sauce
The General's Hot Sauce Heat Seeker 3-Pack is an excellent gift for any hot sauce lover or a treat for yourself if you like to challenge your palate. The sauces are all-natural, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly. All the sauces are made in the USA with aged peppers or Vermont maple syrup. (yum) They also support a good cause, as a portion of the proceeds goes to supporting military and veteran families. If that isn't cool enough for you - they come in a grenade-shaped bottle! Grilling and Grenades, how much more badass can you get? And if your Dad is anything like mine, every time he uses the sauce, he'll yell, "INCOMING!" Every time.
Lord of Scotland
This may be the most fabulous Father's day Gift idea of all time. Make him a Lord of Scotland! EstablishedTitles.com allows you to purchase a small plot of land in Scotland. Doing so entitles the land owner to be referred to as "Lairds," the Scottish term for "Lord" according to Scottish tradition. You choose to title the title of Lord, Laird, or Lady (not judging) at purchase. The purchase has a double benefit in that the monies are used to preserve the Scottish land in its natural state. As a now proud Scottish Lord, I can tell you that a certificate of this sort does make a difference hanging on your wall and making your kids refer to you as "Lord." The eye roll is 100% worth it. I do not recommend suggesting your spouse or significant other to curtsey, though.. That didn't end well.
Major Geeks Swag
Your Dad wants a shirt for the Major Geeks collection. You know it. As an added incentive, know that 100% of the proceeds will benefit the MGOCF (MajorGeeks Office Coffee Funds), And we won't waste it on that sugary stuff. We like it black and strong... Like our hearts.
