My Unique Father’s Day gift ideas post from last year was such a huge success that I had no idea how I was going to follow it up this year! You guys made one thing clear: your men like zombies and Dr. Who! This year, I rounded up some more unique gifts for totally cool dads.
Of course, all dads are cool, so who am I to decide what the “cool dads” like? Basically, I watch, listen and observe. I hang out on a lot of different sites and pay attention to what my readers like. So here are some father’s day gift ideas for YOUR cool guy!
Fun Father’s Day Gift Ideas for Cool Dads
Breaking Bad: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]
I’ll be honest with you, this boxed set (barrel set?) is freaking expensive on Blu-ray. Like $300! You can get it on DVD for about half that though. Of course, you could just get the seasons individually, they’ll probably have a few on sale. What makes this Father’s Day gift idea so cool? Look at it! It comes in a money barrel for one thing. It also has a 16 page booklet with letter from Vince Gilligan, an apron and a commemorative challenge coin designed by Vince Gilligan. Basically, a whole lot of extra goodies. I’ve actually never watched this show, but I hear all the cool dads dig it. Have you watched it? Is it something I should check out?
The Walking Dead Risk Comic Edition Board Game
I never really got into the game Risk. I could never figure out the object. Then again, I’ve never been big on taking over the world. In the Walking Dead version, forget taking over the world, you’ll need to take over the areas that aren’t over-run by zombies, along with all the survival supplies. Become the cool dad with the most influence, grow your band of survivors and take out those walking dead once and for all. The fate of humanity depends on it!
Dalek Doctor Who Mr. Potato Head
Holy crap, did you know they made Dr. Who Mr. Potato Heads? Now, they have a few of the Doctors as spud faces, but I’ve always been quite fond of those little Daleks. Who wouldn’t love a freaky 60s-style robot that goes around threatening to “exterminate” everything in sight, particularly their arch-nemesis, the good Dr. Bonus: this is like the perfect bonding toy for dads and kids. Who doesn’t love Mr. Potato Head?
Where’s Waldo? T-Shirts & Hoodies
Is that not like the creepiest Where’s Waldo shirt ever? I found it at RedBubble. You do know about my RedBubble addiction, right? If your cool guy isn’t into creepy, murderous Waldo, spend some time browsing on the site. I guarantee (not like, legally binding guarantee) that you WILL find the perfect unique father’s day gift for your cool guy. They have like every geeky cool thing you can think of, from Firefly to Zombies to, well, prettier and not so violent stuff. Best t-shirt site ever. Plus they sell a ton of other stuff, like prints and what not.
Dark Horse Deluxe Game of Thrones Pint Glass Set: Stark and Baratheon
This is another show that I never really had a chance to watch but am dying to see. Now, they also have Game of Thrones shot glasses, but I figured pint glasses are more diverse. I mean, not all dads drink booze, right? But a pint glass can be used for pretty much any tasty beverage! Plus, there are two, so if you watch the show together, you can both have a glass! Although, really, getting your hubby a gift just because YOU want to use it…probably not cool.
Holy cuteness! It’s a retelling of Darth and Luke’s relationship as if Darth was actually around to raise his child, rather than off being an evil Sith Lord (um, that’s right, isn’t it? My Star Wars is a bit rusty since my son moved on to a new fascination, not telling you what it is because you’ll call me a bad mom). Life lessons include lightsaber batting practice, using the Force to raid the cookie jar. This is such a cute book for your child to give as a gift to his super cool dad. Reading it together will be a fun bonding experience.
So there you have it, six unique Father’s Day gift ideas for cool dads. Why six? Because five is boring and my attention span can’t handle ten. Hey, I’m still recovering from surgery! Which idea do you like best?

Honey, you had me at Dalek! I love that they do it in a Mr. Potato Head!
Thanks for these great gift ideas!

Great ideas! My husband is a star wards nerd so this is a perfect list for him.
Cool gifts however none of these would fit my husband 🙁 He is just a weird duck LOL
OMGosh – that Where’s Waldo hoodie is so awesome. I may have to get one of them for myself!
That Where’s Waldo t-shirt is hysterical. I just showed my hubby and we’re sitting here laughing together!
Thanks! I love that one. It’s so creepy yet cool!
I totally want the Risk Walking Dead Comic Book Edition game!! I bet my husband would too!
LOL, that’s kind of the point: stuff he would like! Then again, you could always get it, act like it’s for him and he’ll HAVE to play it with you!
Breaking Bad, yes! THE best gift ever. I mean, I’d really like it too!
LOL! I haven’t seen it yet. Maybe I should check it out, based on your response!
These are some great gift ideas and I will definitely keep them in mind. I always have trouble deciding on what to get the fathers in my life.
I never know what to get my husband, he always buys himself whatever it is that he wants. This definitely gives me a few ideas, he definitely does not have any of these items, now to figure out which ones he might be interested in.
Cash is always a good idea for situations like that! I’m glad I gave you some ideas though!
Thank you for sharing,This is a great list of gifts.None would really suit my hubby he is more in to all his tech and gadget things lol.
Hey, tech stuff is very cool!
I got my husband the new Samsung galaxy s5 active phone for his father’s day gift. He already is using it, he couldn’t wait haha. I love your suggestions, especially the risk game!
Wow, you are an awesome wife! I wish someone would buy me a smart phone, lol! That’s a great gift!
Great ideas! I like the DVD set the best – I’ve purchased several TV series on DVD for my dad and he’s always loved them!
DVD sets are one of my top go-to gifts. They’re always a big hit!
Fathers Day seemed to sneak up on me this year. I still have not got my hub or father a gift. Perhaps I will get them an item or two off of your list. The glasses are perfect for my hubs.
Didn’t it just seem to come from out of nowhere? My son’s birthday is the day before, so it will be a busy weekend!
The Breaking Bad set would be a hit with me as well! I love the Game of Throne glasses and the Mr. Potato Head too. So much fun!
These are FUN gift ideas!! I think dad should get spoiled, but if you can have fun doing it, that’s even better. 🙂
I know this is a father’s day gift guide but /i want that cute robot for myself.
Oh my goodness I love the Dalek Doctor Who Mr. Potato Head – forget about for my Dad I want it! x
Oh yeah, this reminds me that Father’s Day is just around the corner – thanks for this.
Great list! I just wish I could figure out what to get my dad.
Those are some really cool and imaginative Father’s Day gift ideas. I can see dads falling in love with these
These are all super cute! I love those Game of Thrones glasses.
Ha, I love these ideas. They are fun and out of the ordinary.
I’m immediately heading over to check out this REdBubble site – my hubby is a t-shirt freak, and I typically get him a new one for every birthday and holiday. Already got him a Ron Burgundy one for his birthday, and matching Iron Dad and Iron Kid ones for Fathers Day, but never a bad idea to stock up!
Lots of great gift ideas here. I’m liking the Dalek Doctor Who Mr. Potato Head.
