Father's Day Gift Ideas for Techies

With Father's Day coming up on June 16, I thought I would help out all the would-be gift givers who have technology craving fathers in their lives.  My plan was to scour the internet looking for great gift ideas for geeky fathers like myself.  As it turns out, I just had to scour ThinkGeek.  Nonetheless, I still narrowed down and categorized some of what I consider the cream of the crop.  Whether his obsession is Star Wars or Coffee or even Cooking, there is always something techy for dear, old, socially awkward dad.

For Kitchen Geek Dads

Some of us dads spend more time in the kitchen than is probably healthy for our families.  I know I do.  Don't worry; I'm just doing the dishes.  At any rate, it would be nice to see some manly, dad type stuff in the kitchen every now and then.  So, here are some Father's Day gift ideas for kitchen geek dads.

  • Dexter Apron: It's marinara; I swear!
  • Star Trek Pizza Cutter: Boldly cut where no man has cut before.
  • Safe Kitchen Timer: This meal will self-destruct in 30 seconds.

For Coffee Geek Dads

Everyone needs a vice.  Just be glad that this one is pretty cheap.  Whether you like it hot and black or basically turned into a frozen dessert, coffee has become a staple for many of us fathers.  Besides, sitting in front of a computer all day can really take it out of you.  So, here are some Father's Day gift ideas for coffee geek dads.

  • Aliased Coffee T-shirt: That will perk up your pixels.
  • Dr Who Travel Mug: The doctor is in ... your mug.
  • Power Cup Inverter: It's like caffeine for your stuff.

For Star Wars Geek Dads

I saved the best for last.  What greater father and son bonding experience could there be than the Star Wars series.  We want to pass on our geekdom to our Padawan learners.  There could be no greater way of doing that with superfluous Star Wars merchandise.  So, here are some Father's Day gift ideas for Star Wars geek dads.

  • Chewbacca Messenger Bag: That's no purse.
  • LEGO Star Wars Abbey Road T-shirt: What could be better than LEGO Star Wars? LEGO Star Wars Beetles.
  • Jedi Bathrobe: Use the force to lounge around the house.
