Father's Day Gift Guide 2025
Welcome to the 2025 Father's Day Gift Guide. The force is strong with this one, including only our favorites for the best dads in the galaxy. It's short, sweet, and to the point of the holiday, which is to shower dad with the geeky gifts he is bound to love. Let's get into it! LEGO Star Wars Jango Fett Helmet
Price: $69.95
Amazon
Perfect for the prequel-loving dads, his 616-piece LEGO set brings Jango Fett's iconic Mandalorian helmet to life in amazing detail. From the color-scheme to the adjustable range finder, it's a stylish display piece that's as fun to build as it is to show off. Whether he's Team Fett or just a sucker for sharp helmets and sharper aim, this set is a must-have addition to dad's Star Wars shrine or desk. – Dakster
Hiltz Galaxy's Greatest Dad Trophy
Price: $39.95
sionnach Studios
Is your dad a LEGO and Star Wars or Doctor Who fan? These custom-made trophies and awards are the perfect unique gift! Available in a Star Wars and Doctor Who style as well as various skin tones (in addition to the standard yellow), this is a gift that will surely bring a smile to dad's face! Trophies are 8″ tall, not actual LEGO scale. – William J.
Ted Lasso: The Richmond Way
Price: $61.42
Amazon
For dads (like me) who missed its original run on Apple+, Emmy Award-winning sports comedy Ted Lasso is now available as a beautiful Blu-ray box set. Its seven discs contain all three seasons of the beloved series, wherein a small-time American football coach (Jason Sudeikis) is brought in to manage a struggling British soccer team. Hijinks, hilarity, and a surprising number of heartwarming moments follow as Lasso and AFC Richmond navigate the English Premier League in an underdog story for the ages. [Review materials provided by Warner Bros. Television.] – Z.
WiperTags
Price: $17.95
Amazon
Recently, my family gifted me one of my favorite automotive accessories of all time: WiperTags. While the expansive product line includes a mindboggling number of decals—from animal and holiday-themed fare to the ubiquitous waving-arm characters—this particular set features two iconic (but legally distinct) professional wrestlers locked in combat. Now, when I engage my back windshield wiper, not-Randy Savage delivers a crushing elbow drop to not-Hulk Hogan, an occurrence that delights both me and my fellow drivers on our daily commute. – Z.
DripEZ BBQ & Meal Prep Tubs
Price: $34.99 – $124.99
Dripez
If Dad likes to barbecue, then this may be the perfect accessory for him. These BBQ and meal prep tubs are great for marinating meat and vegetables, and there's even a built-in cutting board in the base! They're available in multiple colors and styles, and fold down flat for easy storage. I used one recently to marinate some Korean short ribs for the smoker, and it worked great while also cutting down on the mess. – Paul Benson
Wautton R18 EDC Titanium Alloy Mini Flashlight
Price: $34.90
Wautton
This tiny flashlight can hook onto your keyring so you've always got a bright light handy, and it's both durable and water resistant so you can use it just about anywhere. Bonus: you don't have to hunt down little cell batteries because it has a USB-C port for charging. Comes in silver or the multicolored rainbow coating. – Jonathan H. Liu
Dungeon Crawler Carl series
Price: $30-$39 per book
Bookshop.org
If Dad likes books, videogames, and aliens, get him started on this rollicking sci-fi series. Carl (with his girlfriend's cat, Princess Donut) gets stuck in a multi-level dungeon that's part of an intergalactic reality show. If he survives, he could win back Earth from its new overlords, but first he has to crawl through several levels of virtual hell. There are six volumes so far with a seventh coming in September 2025. – Jonathan H. Liu Liked it? Take a second to support GeekDad and GeekMom on Patreon!
