31 Quirky Fathers' Day Gifts
A Star Wars-inspired Stormtrooper electric shaver so they can get their face as smooth as a Baby Yoda's bottom. A screaming goat figurine, because sometimes they need a buddy to scream it out with. It even comes with a book full of fun facts and trivia about the ever-majestic goat. A pack of 16 slingshot chickens they can pull, stretch, and fling at the wall or ceiling when they're feeling a bit bored, angry, or fidgety. A convenient lil' condiment fork if their love of pickles and olives is only matched by how much they hate getting soggy fingers by grabbing them straight out of the jar. All they have to do is place the silicone band around the top of the jar, and voila! A carton of popcorn seasoning salt so their at-home movie night snack rivals that of their local movie theater. A pack of four Crocs-shaped car air fresheners because the actual Crocs on their actual feet make their Subaru smell quite funky. These colorful and charming fresheners come with 12 scent pads (four lavender, four fern, and four unscented) and can be clipped to their car's air vent. A pair of (surprisingly) cozy fish slippers whose anti-skid soles not only ensure that these sandals are more wear-resistant but will also make sure they don't go slippin' and slidin' like, well, a wet fish. A rebellious mini frog statue perfect for decorating their garden and flipping off the neighbors. A mini wacky waving inflatable tube guy if they need a fun (but silent) coworker at their WFH station. Or if they need a good laugh while on their porcelain throne. A funny yet useful "Grievance Journal" because as much as you love your dad's incredibly dark sense of humor when it comes to all the things in life that annoy them, maaaybe they'd be better served writing those thoughts down instead of sharing them with the class. Inside, they'll find 52 distinct writing prompts and 52 misanthropic jokes that they are sure to find a little too funny. A Mjolnir bottle opener — others will ~Marvel~ at how strong they are as they pop open a Corona with ease! And a 44-piece Mjölnir toolbox sure to make them feel like a superhero every time they use what's in it to fix a household problem. A "Grillfather" apron so they can show off their burger-making abilities to the ~mob~ of family and friends waiting to eat at their next summer shindig. A wearable shark blanket if their favorite character in Jaws is, well, Jaws. Now they can cozy up on the couch to watch it! Dun dunnn! A "Gracula" garlic crusher — just because the Count has a garlic aversion doesn't mean he can't help them mince a little for their homemade pasta sauce. And it'll only take a few seconds! A set of guitar-themed grilling utensils to help them ~rock~ at the next barbecue! These stainless-steel utensils are rust-resistant so they'll last longer than Aerosmith toured. (Yep, they're still touring.) A Puffin sweatshirt can cooler so their cold IPA (or LaCroix, we don't judge) doesn't give their fingers frostbite. Plus, it'll keep their bev as cool as they are! A lightsaber wiper blade cover — now The Force can help keep their rear window clean! A lil' golf pen set that'll help keep their hands busy during their next Zoom call. This set comes with three golf club gel pens, two tiny golf balls, and a tiny golf course. Fore! And a toilet golf set because anytime is a good time to practice their putting! This set comes with a small putter, a wraparound green, two golf balls, a hole with a flag, and a "Do Not Disturb Card" they can hang on the bathroom door. Time to get their hole in one... A Live Laugh Lose party game — if they're already a pro at corny jokes, they'll love the challenge of coming up with (and then delivering) one on the spot. A squishy Blobfish they can tote around like the cute little pet stress ball that it is. A cute baby Grogu toothpaste dispenser so brushing their teeth becomes a weird and fun treat. Even if that treat looks like alien vomit. Two pairs of hotdog socks if their favorite meal comes doused in a million condiments. These cozy socks are sure to make them feel like a ~snack~! A cute peeled banana wine stopper made of 100% food-grade silicone to keep their red from turning into an undrinkable vinegar. A Lego Fender guitar set that'll allow them to show off both their love of rock 'n' roll and their craftsmanship. It comes with a posable whammy bar, pickup switch, tuning pegs, six strings, Fender logo stickers, and a textile strap. Oh, and they can build the guitar in either red or black. A toilet-themed book of puzzles so they can test their mental agility while under stress! A darling swinging duck car mirror accessory for when they're feeling a little lonely on their drive to work. Now they can get their quack on with this cutie! A pair of funny Porta Potty shot glasses since vodka is essentially spicy toilet water anyway. If that's their go-to, it may be time for them to re-evaluate some of their choices... A dad joke button jam-packed with over 50 jokes sure to make them laugh and make you cringe. Or a book of dad jokes because they've been telling the same one about being on a "seafood" diet for far too long now. It's getting a little embarrassing...

VeVe unveils new Star Wars digital collectibles using AR technology
VeVe, a digital collectibles platform, has announced a new partnership with Lucasfilm to launch an officially licensed Star Wars digital collection, coinciding with the annual fan celebration of May the 4th. The new range of digital items includes a first-ever look inside the iconic Stormtrooper helmet, augmented reality (AR) enabled Podracers, and exclusive digital comics. The immersive experience aims to blend storytelling with emerging technology to offer fans a fresh way to engage with the Star Wars universe. The collection, released on 4 May, is the result of close collaboration between VeVe and Lucasfilm. According to the company, the launch is part of a broader effort to help the long-running franchise connect with new audiences through innovative tools like AR and blockchain. "Collaborating with Lucasfilm to bring these legendary pieces of the Star Wars galaxy to life has been incredibly exciting," said Dan Crothers, Co-Founder of VeVe. "This collection exemplifies exactly what we love doing at VeVe; using new technology to bring fresh energy to beloved franchises, making these experiences accessible and attainable for fans everywhere." The new drop includes several digital items designed to appeal to long-time Star Wars fans as well as newcomers. Among the highlights is Troopers Series 1 , a 3D digital collectible range that showcases Imperial soldiers such as the battle-worn Mimban Trooper and the elusive Shadow Trooper. According to VeVe, each item has been designed with attention to detail, reflecting the legacy of these characters across the Star Wars narrative. Another feature of the release is the AR-enabled Podracers, inspired by Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace . Using VeVe's platform, fans can bring the high-speed vehicles into their real-world environments for interactive, up-close experiences. The release also includes digital dioramas and characters from The Mandalorian , along with an exclusive digital version of The Mandalorian #1 comic. This edition will be available in limited quantities with variant digital covers, offering multiple levels of rarity for collectors. VeVe plans to continue unveiling additional digital collectibles throughout the month of May, with surprise drops designed to keep fans engaged. The ongoing releases build on VeVe's existing Star Wars portfolio, which already includes more than 100 digital items spanning various characters, scenes, and storylines from the franchise. Crothers said the company is also focused on accessibility, with pricing designed to accommodate a broad range of fans. "We wanted to ensure fans from all backgrounds could participate in this global celebration," he said. "Accessibility is key for us, we want to make official fan experiences available to everyone." Collectibles in the new Star Wars collection start at US$10, with VeVe also offering a $10 credit to new users who join the platform. With more than 10 million 3D digital collectibles sold to date, VeVe says it is helping to redefine how fans connect with legacy franchises. Through its use of AR and blockchain-based ownership, the company aims to enhance storytelling in ways that are both modern and interactive. The Star Wars digital collection is now available exclusively on VeVe, with additional releases planned throughout May.
