28 Best Funny Gifts for Dad That He'll Actually Use

The most dangerous gift on the list, because he will read from it at every meal. Hundreds of family-safe puns with illustrations give him fresh ammunition for school runs and road trips. At under $20 it is also an easy add-on to any bigger present.

150 more terrible jokes, this time on cards he can pull out at dinner or deal around the table as a 'try not to laugh' game. Kids love catching him out with a card he has not seen yet.

A travel tumbler wrapped in dad jokes means he can share his favorite material with the whole office without saying a word. The double-wall steel keeps his coffee hot through the morning meeting and his iced tea cold at the kids' soccer game.

The affectionate roast every dad secretly loves. It holds a big 15 ounces, the black interior hides coffee stains, and it is the kind of mug that ends up being his favorite simply because the kids picked it.

The perfect comeback for any dad who has heard one too many comments about his midsection. It is a soft, vintage-print tee he will wear to barbecues and the hardware store, and it makes for a great Father's Day photo.

For the father of daughters who wears the title like a badge. The embroidery holds up better than a print, and the adjustable mesh back makes it a comfortable everyday cap for the sidelines or the lake.

Every dad who claims he 'likes it spicy' deserves to be tested. This is the full ten-bottle lineup from Season 30 of the Hot Ones show, and it turns into an instant family event: line up the wings, film the reactions and see how far he gets before he reaches for the milk. The bottles are full size, so the survivors keep him in sauce for months.

Every grill-master dad already acts like the barbecue is a restricted zone; this apron makes it official. The cotton breathes on hot days and the pockets hold his tongs, thermometer and phone.

Beer-can chicken is the dad-est recipe there is, and this cast iron stand makes it foolproof. The cup holds the beer, the base stops the bird from toppling, and the drip pan catches the juices. Funny name, seriously good dinner.

Mount it in the garage or by the grill and the hidden magnets catch every cap before it hits the floor. Dads love watching the cap collection grow like a trophy wall, and nobody has to pick bottle tops out of the lawn.

A beer-can glass engraved with a holiday spin on a classic carol. It makes a cheerful Christmas stocking gift for a beer-loving dad, and because the words are engraved, the joke survives the dishwasher for years.

A cheap, cheeky can sleeve for mowing the lawn, fixing the fence or watching the game. Especially funny for a new dad still adjusting to the job description.

Six cans on his hip, ready for the tailgate. It comes as a pack of five, so he can kit out his buddies for the next game day, and the adjustable strap fits over a jacket.

A Sasquatch marching off with a garden gnome under one arm while another clings to his leg is exactly the kind of yard decor a dad finds hilarious and a mom tolerates. The solar lamp glows at dusk, so the joke works around the clock. It is a great pick for the dad who spends his Saturdays on the lawn.

For the golfer who takes his phone and his time in the bathroom, this mini green wraps around the toilet so he can work on his short game. It is a top white-elephant pick that always gets passed around the room.

Hand Dad the remote at Thanksgiving and step back. The speaker hides under a chair cushion, the remote works across the room, and several realistic sounds keep the joke going all evening. For dads who never grew up, which is most of them.

Wallet cards certifying official man status. Give one to Dad and let him hand the rest out, or revoke them, after the next fishing trip. A great extra to tuck into a card.

For the dad who hides behind the curtains when the doorbell rings, this doormat says what he is thinking. The coir scrapes boots well, so it earns its keep even when nobody is reading it.

Two great dad references in one: the Chia Pet commercials he grew up with and the most famous TV dad of all. Homer grows a green 'hair' coat in a couple of weeks, and the seed packs cover three plantings for his desk at work.

Feet up on the coffee table, message facing the room: 'If you can read this, bring me some beer.' These socks do the asking for him, which is the most Sunday-afternoon gift imaginable.

He will look like a superhero getting a haircut, and the whole family will want a photo. Then the sink stays clean after every trim and everyone in the house wins. Ideal for bearded dads with a running feud over bathroom mess.

The gift every dad over 40 needs and no dad will ever buy for himself. Hand it over with a straight face. The spinning dual-edge blades are painless, it rinses clean under the tap, and it runs on a single battery.

A ceramic ledge across the rim keeps his prized mustache out of his coffee. It looks like a joke until he tries it and realizes his mustache is finally dry. A must for the dad who waxes the tips.

He has been asking you to scratch that spot for years. Now he can reach it himself. Two telescoping steel scratchers mean one lives by the recliner and one in the truck, and nobody has to hear about it again.

A good-natured nudge for a dad hitting 50 or 60 who has started complaining about the thermostat. The short chapters make it easy bathroom or bedside reading, and it pairs well with the 'Okayest Dad' mug for a milestone birthday.

No more screws held in his mouth while he is up a ladder. Ten strong magnets keep screws, nails and bits on his wrist where he can reach them, and it is cheap enough to tuck into a stocking for the family Mr. Fix-It.

He will wiggle his glowing fingers at the kids first. After that, they live in the toolbox for car repairs under the hood, fishing at dawn or finding the breaker box in a power cut. Hands-free light right where he is looking.

For the work-from-home dad who mutters at his laptop, this little speed bag suctions to the desk and springs back after every jab. It is a funny office gift that genuinely helps on long call days.
