Your dad might not say it, but he’ll feel seen by these weird gifts.

I am a staff writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team who focuses primarily on practical and problem-solving products (although you can also catch me writing about cute, fun, and ~weird~ products, too!).

Promising review: "I got this as a present for my girlfriend, who claims to love hot sauce. It was the perfect gift, and she absolutely loved it. All of the sauces were great, and the last dab really burned her up!" —Jon

Promising review: "Great kitchen item. Forks are great for getting pickles out of the jar, but if you have kids/lazy people (lol), you know that dirty hands are going into that jar. 😉 This has really prevented that from happening. It comes with two different rings to fit whatever size jar, a stabber holder, and a stabbing stick." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Great gift for a frog-loving friend! He’s a solid little guy, cute, and well-made." —Mara R.

Promising review: "I feel really strong and powerful when I use the 'Hammer of Thor' to crack open a bottle of the finest mead. It is a fine hammer and works exceptionally well, as only a hammer of the gods can do. When I wield the hammer, it takes me back to days of old in Asgard." —I Held Thor's Hammer

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two colors).

This toolbox comes with all their basic tool needs, including a hammer, tape measure, level, screwdriver, wrench, ratcheting wrench, and utility knife.

Promising reviews: "We bought this for my husband for Father's Day, and it was a huge hit. We are a Marvel-loving household, so it fits right in. My husband is a contractor, so he has all the tools, but it is perfect to have them in the house when I ask him to hang a shelf, a picture, or whatever. It has lots of handy tools inside. My husband was impressed with the quality of each tool and the variety. Plus, he feels cool holding Thor's hammer, haha." —Monica Aldrich

"My husband is extremely difficult to buy for. I end up trying to buy him functional, funny stuff. This was actually well-made, and he thought it was pretty clever. He drags it out when someone needs help. Gets a good giggle." —Tatorie79

Promising review: "I opened the package and screamed for joy! As I placed the 9-volt battery, my hands were trembling with what was going to happen next! As I turned on the wacky waving inflatable tube man, I knew I had a friend for life. Someone you can really count on to cheer you up when you are feeling down. He brought me such joy, I started to cry with laughter and happiness." —Robert

Promising review: "I gave this to my father-in-law as a Father's Day gift, and he really loves it. The size and length are just perfect." —Jes

Promising review: "Bought these for my dad, and he loved them! I got them for Father's Day, and here we are in September, and he’s used them once or twice a week, and they’ve held up great! He loves showing them off to his friends when he grills. Super great affordable purchase!" —AnnaMarie

Puffin is a small biz making fun drinkwear!

Promising review: "Purchased as a gift for a friend. I love these! They’re so cute! I have a few others that I had previously purchased for myself, but I love that they added a hard bottom. It really helps your drink sit flat if you set it down. These work great, keeping your drink cold, but your hands comfortable." —Jen

Get it from Amazon for $9+ (available in 15 designs).

Promising review: "This is a hilarious way to scream at the universe without hurting your throat. I often gift this to people who are struggling. It generates a smile and lets them know it’s OK to feel like screaming." —meggysmallz

It's reflective, so it glows! Some reviewers suggest that you attach it with Velcro or another kind of hook-and-loop adhesive so you can easily remove and re-attach the cover as needed.

Promising review: "I bought this knowing it would just be a piece of plastic, but I didn't care because I thought it would be fun to have on my car. I've received so many compliments, so it definitely was a good buy." —ewitt3

Promising review: "'100% efficient, 100% effective, 100% FUN!' —My bearded bud." —Alex.F

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "Hilarious game!!! The most we have laughed in years! A few questions were off-color, so you might want to read through them before playing. We threw those away. But, overall, it is the funniest game I think I have ever played. The more outgoing, colorful people, the better! My face and sides hurt from laughing so much!!" —Pastor Girl

Promising review: "Life is all about finding joy in the simple, little things, and this banana wine stopper accomplishes just that!!!! I cannot properly express how much happiness this little banana brings me whenever I treat myself to some wine. I wish I could go back in time and buy it sooner! As an added bonus, it creates a perfect seal AND is super easy to wash by hand. It doesn’t even get stained! Love love LOVE!!!!" —GreySky14

Promising review: "An absolute gem of entertainment and laughter. This quirky book is packed with a hilarious array of activities, jokes, puzzles, and fascinating facts that are sure to keep you entertained while doing your business." —Harry

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in paperback and hardcover).

Promising review: "Saw it one day when I was just browsing. That’s usually dangerous, I know. It’s actually heavier than I thought it was going to be, in a good way, though. It’s not cheaply made. I’ve gotten a few laughs from people in other vehicles. The only side effect is that if you get upset at other drivers, it isn’t very intimidating when you’re giving the mad stare. LOL. I was pleased with the purchase in all." —Charles Ramsey

Get it from Amazon for $7.78 (available in seven other styles). 

Promising review: "I got this for my father-in-law as a gift. He got to laughing and grinning as soon as he saw it, and he loves wearing them. He's got some swelling in his ankles, but the size I got him still fits comfortably." —Mystiecub

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two sizes and 24 other styles).

Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

Promising review: "Overflowing with adult humor, these novelty shot glasses are the perfect gift for those who appreciate bathroom humor and oddball gifts that push the boundaries of laughter." —Brandy

And it even comes with two AA batteries, so they can hear jokes ASAP!

Promising review: "My step-dad loves to laugh, and smile, and tell stories. 😄 He loves this joke gift...Post Covid, he is 80 years young...I said we will keep laughing and smiling and have as much of a good time as possible! This gift definitely is a fun part of that plan! Now he's sharing it with his buddies! Good for all ages!!" —CC

Promising review: "My husband is a true 'dad jokes' kind of guy, so on a whim, I bought him this collection of jokes. He spent the entire Christmas Day laughing so hard at these jokes that he couldn't finish reading them out loud. Watching him cry with laughter all day was the best Christmas gift I could have given myself." —Jim Elder

We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.
