Extra Mustard's Father's Day Gift Guide: Something for Every Dad
Once a year, we celebrate our dads in the most boring way possible: by giving them a tie and then listening to them snore during the final round of the U.S. Open. Maybe, just maybe, it's time to change it up.
Below, we've rounded up 17 gift ideas that will make dear old Dad feel a little more special this Sunday. (And also a tie, because why change what works?)
Gourmet BBQ Grilling Crate
Because your dad is still in denial that you're a vegetarian. ($49.95-69.95, Harry and David)
Portable grill lighter
Your dad's eyebrows have finally grown back after last year's fire incident, so why not get him a safer way to light a grill this year? We should probably also mention that it looks like a sweet flamethrower. ($50, BBQ Dragon)
Whistle Pig Whiskey
This is a 100-proof, straight rye whiskey, aged for at least 10 years through a unique double-barrel process. We're not sure what any of that means, but it sounds legit. ($73.99, Whistle Pig)
Laphroaig 18-year aged Scotch Whisky
Hey, it just got easier to get your dad drunk and ask him for money. ($84.99, Laphroaig)
Home Brew Kits
This home-brewing set comes with written instructions, a DVD, and a live-chat help line, so hopefully, unlike your family's computer, you won't have to have to explain to your dad how this works. Every year. Even though nothing on it has changed. ($54.95-99.95, Mr.Beer)
The PuckOpener
Just what your dad needs: something to make it easier for him to get drunk and play hockey. Hope you've got your iPhone ready to record. ($12, Buffalo Bottle Craft)
Quickster Chipping Net
Defense wins championships, and short game wins golf tournaments. Help your dad work on his chipping without letting him destroy all the cups in your home. ($49.99, SKLZ)
Father's Day Birdie Box
It's a Birchbox for dads. Kind of insulting that they had one for dogs first, tbh. ($75, Birdie Box)
New Era Diamond Collection Cap
Help your dad cling to his youth and cover his bald spot with these cool flat-brim hats. ($35.99, New Era)
Portable Charging Dock
Now your dad can listen to Jimmy Buffet anywhere! How fun for you! ($134.95, JBL)
Beech Earbuds
Or if you want to give him a more discreet way to enjoy his Buffet, this is the way to go. ($50, LSTN)
Ascent Vaporizer
He'll love the three-plus hour battery life and sleek design of this portable glass vaporizer, and you'll love the fact that he's now too busy to organize all those family Kumbaya sessions. ($249.99, Da Vinci)
Sports Ties
These ties will combine your dad's love of sports with his occasional need to go to a fancy event. And with a wide variety of patterns, you can choose whether your dad's sports tie is Clinton-Kelly subtle and understated, or Rob-Ford loud and overbearing. NOTE: Please do not wear this at the same time as the ugly sweater. ($20-45, ties.com)
Ugly NFL Sweaters
Your dad already owns plenty of ugly sweaters, but this one has NFL logos. ($59.99, Forever Collectibles)
Retro Gamer Man Crate
Isn't candy and old-school video games a better way for your dad to try to recapture his youth than an expensive sports car and a younger, hotter new mom? ($89.99, Man Crate)
Xbox One
Sure, this is a gift for YOUR DAD. Right, sure. Not for you. Your dad. Got it. ($499.99, Microsoft)
Bug-Killing Device
Every dad is a kid at heart, and kids love their toys. Why nag him to hire an exterminator when you can give him a grown-up Nerf gun that kills bugs? This one uses salt as ammunition, so no need to buy the family dog a suit of armor. ($39.95, BUG-A-SALT)
Portable Power Charger/Cooking Pot
We've all been on a disastrous family camping trip. Let dad save the day by ensuring that everyone can at least still play Candy Crush. ($149, Power Practical)
Or, if all else fails...
Love, the worst kid ever.
