A Unique Father’s Day Gift for a Dad In Touch With His Inner Nerd
Every year, I obsess over finding a unique fathers day gift for my father. I start out looking for a super gift, but somehow end up getting him a tie, some power tool, or just taking him out to dinner. The problem is that while I know Dad will appreciate anything I get him, I also know that he doesn’t really need or want much: he’s the type of guy that will buy whatever he wants and he’s past the point where he has many “needs”.
This year, as with Mother’s Day, I decided to make shopping a project and focused on the most efficient way to find a gift. After doing some surfing, I came back to the Collectibles Today. They have a Father’s Day store that is really easy to use. After looking through their tech gifts and Star Wars gifts for fathers, I decided on the Star Wars graphic novel collection from Dark Horse. I’m a big comics fan, my little brothers are just getting into them and we all love Star Wars so this gift seems like a win-win-win.
I’m really happy with my choice. I’ll still be taking Dad out for a beer, but I finally got him something worth while too (it helps that I can borrow them). Maybe this wouldn’t be the best gift for everyone, but if your dad is into sci-fi and still likes Star Wars despite the recent films, then this is a great place to start.
