Shae's Geeky Gift Ideas - Father's Day '16 Edition

So I never got a chance to do one of these for Mother's Day because I was preparing for a trip. But Shae, where is that blog about your vacation you promised us? Don't worry! It's in the process of being written! It's something like I've never done before, so you'll get it! In the mean time, Father's Day is coming up. And if your Geek Dad doesn't already have tickets to Denver Comic Con, I suggest you get on that! Dads have put up with our crazy antics for a long while and they deserve nice things. DCC tickets are also a nice late Mother's Day gift too. On that note there are also tons of guests coming to DCC that have photo and autograph ops, and those make pretty sweet gifts for the geeky parent in your life.

Buttttt if you're also looking to give that special Dad in your life something a little more specific, there's also this adorable BB-8 car charger. He's got everything! He's cute, he's BB-8 and he will BB-charge your phone! Okay that last one was very bad and I'm almost sorry. They also have an R2D2 one if BB-8 isn't Dad's style. From $19.99 to $39.99 these adorable additions can make any car feel like an X-Wing! And what dad doesn't want that? These car chargers provide two USB ports and enough charging power to charge two tablets at once. They plug into the cigarette lighter in any car and are great for road trips or just the busy Dad on the go. They work with any charging cable, so the phone type doesn't matter! What matters most is how cute BB-8 looks.

No Father's Day is complete without the obligatory tie! I don't know why ties are a symbol of this day, by they kinda are...of course the tie doesn't always have to be some boring old thing you find just anywhere. No. Dads are special and nerd dads are more special! This cute tie with its circuit board pattern is a great gift for any IT dad out there. Or any dad with a sense of humor. At just $24.99 this tie tells your dad that not only do you take shopping for him very seriously, but also ties are fun and you're up to that challenge. There are ties for all dad Geek levels and types, from subtly Star Wars, to blatant Star Trek, Dad can have a novelty tie in his favorite geek genre! But no tie is complete without a tie clip and cuff links. Don't worry, I have that covered too. Whether it's this Doctor Who Tie  set for $29.99, or just a cute pair of Superman Cufflinks (same price). Don't forget that dads like to be stylish too!

Or maybe slippers. Like these shark ones!  Who doesn't want shark slippers!? You don't even have to be a nerd or a geek to appreciate Shark Slippers! That's right, $15.99 and there can be sharks on your feet. So, story, years ago I found slippers similar to these, only instead of Sharks they were the Rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. My dad can literally, and has, quote that movie from start to finish. So I bought him those slippers thinking he'd wear them all the time. Except he never took them out of the box. Kids, heed my warning, don't let your dad do that to these beautiful Shark Slippers, and slippers are meant to be worn and enjoyed.

Guys, all these gifts and so much more can be found on ThinkGeek.com, the home of all geek gifts and presents for the geek dad in your life. The most important things to remember here is that your dad loves you, so get him something from the heart and he'll love it!
