30 Unique Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Sure we’ve seen illuminated keyboards before, but then we saw the Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LED Keyboard and stopped looking. With 430 LEDs the Luxeed is capable of individually lighting each key in your choice of color. What’s more it can do some amazing tricks like an animated rainbow across all the keys, or make each key light when you press it. You get four “preset” buttons above the arrow keys you can use to instantly choose between different customizable lit skin presets. Set-up a glowing skin for your favorite game with different colors to indicate each key action… or create illuminated patterns and designs. Hey, the Luxeed doesn’t have a tiny screen on each key like the legendary Optimus Maximus, but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper. Pick your Luxeed flavor of black or white. The keys of the white Luxeed have a semi-transparent look and light up more brightly than the black. However the black Luxeed has a stylish treatment with only the letters being illuminated. Both keyboards look the best in dim lighting of course. The new U5 model of the Luxeed requires no driver software and works with any OS. All the controls for setting the color of keys, modes and storing key presets is built into the hardware. Product Features Amazing illuminated keyboard features 430 LEDs and can dynamically change the color of each key Set each key to any color, or turn the light off on that key Create custom illuminated key layouts and quickly switch between them with 4 preset buttons Features animated rainbow effect, or animated random key colors “Spark” mode allows keys to illuminate only when pressed Standard USB connection Keyboard Dimensions: 15″ x 7.5″ x 1″ The LUXEED U7 can toggle between two modes: Plug & Play (P&P) for onboard color control, or Software Controlled (SWC) for more advanced functions. Drivers are available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Music production has been simplified by going entirely digital. With the advent of programs like Reason and Garageband, musicians need only their laptops to create professional sounding tunes. What you may notice, however, is that most of the music coming out of those looptastic programs is almost entirely lacking in vocals. Vocals are inherently analog, and are difficult to fake using only computer programs. So, you open your yapper and belt out a few lyrics. The problem is, your microphone sucks. That’s right, you heard us. Your current microphone is terrible. Frequency response barely able to pick up your voice, and impossible to filter out vibration and background noise. If you want a better microphone, you need a breakout box to convert the analog mic output into digital form, and now things are getting really expensive and out of hand. You need a new mic. One that has excellent specs, but plugs right into your PC’s USB port. Also, it would be cool if it had it’s own monitor output, gain control, and could work cardioid, bidirectional and omnidirectional as well. Ooh, can you also make it THX certified? All that, and don’t empty my wallet. Wow, you don’t ask for much do you? Thankfully, ThinkGeek can deliver all that you ask for with the Yeti THX Certified USB Microphone. Perfect for you budding musicians out there that want to produce something truly great without sinking your life’s savings into a ridiculously expensive sound studio. You podcasters and youtubers aren’t left out, either – you can set the mic up to pick up and condense the audio in a room, or between interviewer and subject, and make it sound perfect. No need for everybody to huddle around in uncomfortably close quarters. Also works great as a microphone for video conference-calls, as ThinkGeek’s own code-monkeys have discovered. So, what are you waiting for – an invitation? Fine: We invite you to try the Yeti THX Certified USB Microphone and see just how good your music can sound with a decent vocal track. You won’t regret it!

Our favorite beer to drink during the daytime is root beer. Why? Because it is flavorful, frothy, delicious, and won’t get us fired. But sometimes we just don’t find the root beer we crave. The time has come to rebel against the can and the bottle pre-packaged root beers. The time has come to brew it ourselves. And brew it ourselves we can with this aptly-named Root Beer Brewing Kit! The Root Beer Brewing Kit has everything you need (except for 2 types of sugar you’ll need to provide yourself) to make 2 1-gallon batches of root beer. And the best part, once you bottle up your brew, it should be ready for consumption in about three days.

The Root Beer Brewing Kit is great for brewing at work, at home, with friends, with family – heck, it even makes one delicious science fair project. Time for us to enjoy a cold one, all thanks to our Root Beer Brewing Kit. Please Note:: Due to this carbonation process your root beer will contain trace amounts of alcohol (about half of 1% ABV).

When a Jedi isn’t busy being a Jedi – gallivanting across the galaxy, negotiating trade disputes, or cutting the arms off of loudmouth bar patrons, they’re often found at home, relaxing on their easy-chairs and sipping on white-russians. It’s true. Nothing is more important to a Jedi than serenity. Comfort, for a Jedi in repose, is key, so when he lounges, you won’t find him wrapped in many layers of cotton. No. You won’t find him in ridiculously elaborate and colorful gowns with insane headdresses and clown makeup. The most relaxed jedi are often found in his soft terrycloth bathrobes. This sumptuous dressing gown is warm and luxurious – perfect for those strong with The Force who are taking a vacation, going bowling, or having their persian rugs cleaned. Sure, if you wanted to go out, whip out your lightsaber and start cutting down Sith, that’s, like, your prerogative, man. Just remember, a Jedi abides. One size fits all, though Jawas may need a bit of alteration.

We’ve always had a thing for crime shows, especially the kind with lots of forensic science. Also, it probably helps that the scientist just happens to be a tattooed goth girl that’s on a constant sugar high. Just sayin’. Even if it’s faux science done in blue-tinted labs, we love it. The thought of a criminal being brought to justice because they left an eyelash at the scene of the crime is just sweet. But we’re also reminded that crime is real and you never know when the bad guys might strike. Are you expecting the unexpected? Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected? Either way, the Uzi Tactical Pen turns a mere pen into a life saving tool. The DNA Catcher on the crown of the pen is very sharp and can be used to deliver a very nasty jab to an attacker, causing extreme pain and giving you a sample of their DNA to use when you go to the police. Not expecting to get attacked? The crown also doubles as a glass breaker if you ever get trapped in your vehicle. This badass writing utensil is made of high-grade aircraft aluminum and writes upside down or under water. If you can find a situation where you use all of this pen’s features and live to tell the tale, we probably owe you some sort of prize.

In her previous career, our copywriter monkey worked at a public high school. Like most public high schools, they had a problem with students being late to class. They always overestimated how long six minutes passing time was and would inevitably end up with detentions. A child of the 80s who worked at the school had a brilliant idea: why not use the “running out of time” music from Super Mario Brothers for the last 60 seconds before the bell? Sure, these kids were a little young to grok it 100%, but a little classical conditioning never hurt anyone. And do you know what? It worked! Tardies went down as the students learned to RUN when the Mario song began to play. This watch isn’t going to play you the Mario song. (Sad, we know.) But it is quite possibly the most handsome 8-bit accessory we have ever seen. It comes in classic black or white, so it’ll match perfectly with all those black t-shirts you got from us. It reminds us of our favorite 8-bit video games, but maybe it reminds you of an old school computer icon. If you yearn for a timepiece that reminds you of a simpler time, this may just be the watch for you. Product Specifications Wristwatch with a classic 8-bit look Will look great with your 8-bit tie or match all those witty black t-shirts Stainless steel face and ABS band Available in black or white

Remember when you were a kid and you’d pull the cushions off the furniture and build a sweet fort? Of course, once the fort was made, you had to defend it from your siblings or dear old dad. And for what purpose? Oh yeah, imagination. We don’t know about you, but we enjoy imagining we are a slingshot god, blasting colorful birds at the fortresses of smug porcine units. In fact, one of our friends is so obsessed that she played until she had beaten every single level of Angry Birds at three stars. And then forced her husband to proclaim her victory to all of his Facebook friends. True story. Even if you’re not that hardcore, you’re going to love these plush toys. They’re huggable, squeezable, make great armrests and pillows, and most importantly, they’re soft enough that you can chuck them at the pigs in your life. That’s right, you don’t even need a giant slingshot. (Bonus points if you make one and send in action shots!) Right now, we have Red Bird and Pig, but watch this page – more birds will be arriving soon.

Set the Delorean to 1979. If you were alive and old enough to comprehend your surroundings you might remember that the movie Alien was just released with the notable Empire Strikes Back on the horizon. Our minds were already blown by the talking Speak-and-Spell and then along came BigTrak. This programmable tank was like no toy before it. You would enter in a sequence of commands for movement and firing, then hit the “GO” button and watch as the autonomous tank dutifully carried out your commands. If you were one of the really cool kids you had the wagon which allowed BigTrak to carry and dump a payload on command. BigTrak provided hours of fun in a long ago age when any kind of programmable toy was a real novelty. Now you can re-experience the wonder of BigTrak in a scaled down desktop version. Bigtrak Jr is an improved and miniaturised ‘desktop’ version of the famous 1970 BigTrak. Bigtrak Jr boasts all the functions and features of the original Bigtrak. Program Bigtrak Jr just like the original, via its on-board keyboard to ‘go forwards’, ‘turn’ and fire its ‘photon canon’, plotting a course to navigate around obstacles and travel up to 20m. Bigtrak Jr also has new features including a memory save function, active accessory port for exciting new accessories (coming soon) and moon-crater accessories to make your own lunar obstacle course for your Bigtrak Jr to navigate.

Being die-hard geeks it’s hard for us to get excited about utilitarian items like wallets. Yep, they hold credit cards and some money… they go in your pocket… but they’re just not as interesting as usb thumbdrives or artificially intelligent robots from the future. But then we came across these amazing wallets made from real stainless steel and were forced to upgrade our view on wallets. You might think that steel would be hard on your jeans pocket, but in fact these wallets have the texture of silk and are woven from micro fibers of stainless steel. When you touch the silky metallic surface you’ll think they were created by sophisticated nanobots… and almost nothing is more geeky than nanobots. Available in a bi-fold wallet format (4 card slots, 1 money pocket and 1 clear ID window), or a bi-fold wallet with criss cross card slots.

We have a friend who is a total beer snob. In fact, he recently tweeted something about his utter contempt for pumpkin ale and how he hoped a local brewery would pour all theirs down the drain. The heck with other people, the non-discerning masses that will drink most anything labeled beer, ale, or brew. When a geek loves something very much, he doesn’t make babies with it. He gets on his soapbox and loudly declares that if you don’t agree with him, you must suck. It’s the D&D edition wars, hops and barley style. Beer geeks everywhere are going to love the Happy Hour Bottle Opening Watch. For starters, it’s rugged and handsome. The band is smooth calf leather with snaps, the face features nickel plated hands with mineral crystal cover and applied indices, and the case is brushed stainless steel with etched “happy hour” back and stainless crown. The best part? The patented bottle opening-buckle. Stainless steel, beer-resistant, and built to last, it’ll pop the top off your bottle with nothing more than a flick of the wrist. Product Specifications Rugged and handsome bottle-opening watch Patented bottle opening buckle lets your pop tops with the flick of a wrist Happy Hour styling reminds you of your favorite time of day A must for the beer geek in your life (is that you?)

ScanGauge II Automotive Computer

New model is more compact with a larger display and backlight colors! As a general rule geeks like to have access to as much data and statistics as possible. We pretty much figure this applies to a geek’s motor vehicle as well. So, to allow you to access extra information about your car we would like to introduce the ScanGauge II Automotive Computer. This gadget is easy to install and provides a set of digital gauges, a comprehensive trip computer, and an engine trouble code scan tool. The digital gauges mode displays four different properties on the screen (for example, fuel economy, battery voltage, coolant temperature, and engine speed). The trip computer tracks your vehicle’s maximum speed, average speed, driving time, driving distance, trip fuel economy and several other pieces of trip data. The engine trouble code scan tool lets you read standard engine trouble codes as well as clear the “check engine” light and other warning lamps and many more features.

i-Got-Control iPhone Universal Remote

The iPhone tops our list as one of the most useful gadgets in existence. Thanks to the app store it’s a veritable swiss army knife of indispensable tools, games, and information. Think about it seriously, would you rather give up your pinky toe… or your iPhone. Yep. We thought so. Now that Apple’s finally opened up the dock connector for developers to make hardware devices that can communicate with Apps, another level of iPhone domination is about to take place in your living room. The i-Got-Control Universal Remote allows you to use your iPhone as… you guessed it… a universal remote. Unlike that crappy universal remote that came with your cable box, the i-Got-Control allows you to control thousands of different devices via an intuitive touchscreen interface. If for some reason the obscure contraption you own isn’t on the list, you can learn its codes and save them as a new device.

Portable Mesh Hammock

Hammocks have been the classic symbol of relaxation and kicking back without a care in the world. Just swaying back and forth on a lazy afternoon and maybe taking a short trip to slumberland. Ahhh…lovely. The only catch is that you need some proper supports (like a couple of trees) to hold up your hammock while you enjoy all this relaxation. This tends to make the hammock a little less portable than we’d like. The Portable Mesh Hammock solves this problem by having its own support. The steel frame construction folds up easily and sets up in seconds with no tools required. The hammock comes with a compact carrying bag with shoulder straps for hands-free portability. Perfect for relaxing moments, and now you can carry one wherever you go.

Viewstand for iPad

iPad stands and cases are very personal things: everyone likes something a bit different. One friend of ours insists on his iPad being naked when at home, but sheathes it in a case when he travels. Whether you want a lightweight gel skin, a hard case that looks like an Etch-a-Sketch, or a case that includes a keyboard, it’s totally up to you and what you like best. But if you like the sleek aluminum style typical of Apple products, you’re going to want to consider the Viewstand. The Viewstand has a brushed aluminum exterior that reminds us a lot of our Macbooks. It’s tall and wide, perfect for someone who wants a durable stand to hold up their iPad to use as a cookbook in the kitchen or a media remote in the living room. It operates in four configurations: horizontal reading, horizontal writing, vertical reading, and vertical writing. All buttons and ports are accessible when your iPad is nestled in the Viewstand, so you can charge it up or connect your headphones or other peripherals easily.

Congrats! You just bought yourself a $500+ gadget. Of course, you’re going to claim that you’re using it to check email, (buzzword) your (buzzword) (buzzword), and other srs bsns. But we know the truth: you just paid $500+ so you could play Angry Birds on a bigger screen. You’re all, “No, really, I use it a lot for work! Look at this cool pie chart I made for Thursday’s meeting! Pie chart!” But there are telltale finger smudges in the area of the screen where the Angry Birds slingshot resides. The smudges don’t lie. Protect your expensive Angry Birds device with one of these officially licensed Angry Birds iPad 2 cases. They’re made of hard plastic for maximum impact protection and are available in three different designs featuring the birds and pigs you love (or love to hate). The case features holes to let you access all the important buttons and ports on your iPad 2 like your camera (so you can take pictures of yourself playing Angry Birds), speaker (so you can hear the pigs die!), dock connector (to charge up in between Angry Birds play sessions). It’s the perfect iPad 2 case for the Angry Birds addict in your life. Product Specifications Hard plastic iPad 2 cases for the Angry Birds fan Officially licensed Angry Birds product Features holes to access all your buttons and ports Three models available: Family, Red Bird, Pig King vs. Red Bird

How do you like your coffee? Cream with one sugar? Nice. Just cream? Cool. Black? Rock on. Everybody except the black coffee drinker listen up – what do you use to stir your coffee? A spoon? Swizzles? Tongue depressors? Bah. All of those so-called stirring solutions are fraught with failure. Spoons measure your sugar fine enough, but what a waste to have to wash (or toss) another utensil! Tongue depressors end up making your coffee taste like wood, and those stupid swizzles can’t stir anything, are you kidding? What you need is a stirring solution for your hot and tasty beverage that doesn’t add to landfill, or impart odd flavors to your drink while actually moving stuff around. If we sound like that late great TV pitchman, we’re in great company. We’re genuinely enthusiastic about the Self-Stirring Mug! Stainless steel finish with a snap-lock lid keeps your drink hot. Don’t forget – inside this mug is a spinning plastic disk that frappes your drink into a whirling blended maelstrom of deliciousness. Too much? Just pop two AAA batteries inside the base, fill the mug with your favorite hot beverage, add your sweetener or creamer – or, hey! Maybe you just like a nice hot cup of cocoa! Any way, press the button on the handle and whirr your drink into a perfect blend. No more sandy sugar in the last dregs of your drink, and no more spoons!

Gunnar Computer Glasses

The human eye is a magnificent device. Refined over millions of years of evolution, it’s a highly specialized and effective organ that helps us hunt prey, spot berries, and spot and dodge swinging clubs. As humanity continued to evolve, however, we relied more on the tools we manufactured rather than the ones with which we were born. Now we have more so-called “knowledge-workers” than ever, spending all day tied to desks, and staring at computer screens. We’ve traded sore backs and calluses for headaches and dry and tired eyes. You rub your eyes, and drip drops into them but that doesn’t really help, does it? You see, high-efficiency fluorescent lighting and computer monitors in our offices are highly shifted towards the blue-end of the spectrum. The problem is, blue light focuses differently on the retina than the rest of the spectrum. Ever look at a blue LED and noticed a halo around the light? Staring at it gives you a headache, doesn’t it? Guess why! Your eyes are straining to try and bring that fuzzy spot into focus, and it just can’t! What you need is a way to filter out some of those blues that give your eyes so much trouble. Our new Gunnar Computer Glasses shift that light to the warmer end of the spectrum, giving your tired eyes a chance to recover. Not only do they filter blue light, they also reduce glare, helping with eye strain even more. Be more productive, working longer and harder than the other guys, and maybe you’ll get that promotion before Doofus McSuckass across the hall does. We hate that guy.

Indiana Jones Officially Licensed Fedora

You know the hat. It’s become an iconic symbol which is, thankfully, finally returning to the big screen. Indiana Jones’ hat is the hat we’ve always wanted to wear. But the hat really wasn’t just one hat. There were at least three different types of hats (of various costs and specialties) used in the films. Out of all of the three, the fur felt hat was the “hero” hat. What that means is, the other hats get used and abused during the action sequences – but when it’s time for a close up, on goes the fur felt fedora. There are other licensed hats out there, but they are only wool felt. This one is 100% fur felt – just like the real “hero” hat – because you deserve to be the hero. This officially licensed, fur felt fedora has got to be worn to fully appreciate its majesty. It is so comfortable and soft, and one feel lets you know this isn’t a cheap knock off. It’s a hand made work of art that you’ll be passing down to your children and your children’s children (because apart from looking beautiful – it’s that tough). Even the inside is beautiful – with a leather sweatband and satin lining both emblazoned with “Indiana Jones.” There’s also a little Indiana Jones charm on the hatband (which is easily removed for a more movie-accurate look). Seriously, this hat is built to be worn into any situation and come out intact (even if you have to reach back under a closing rock door to grab it – dramatically at the last second, of course). But why are you still reading this? Order one now and get started on your own Raidersly Templetastic, Crusadingly Skully adventures.

Magic Wand – Programmable TV Remote

You know you have always wanted to be a wizard. But not one of those swish and flick wizards from the movies. You want to be the Dungeons & Dragons wizard – the party’s controller. See that word there? CONTROLLER. It means you control the battlefield; you control everything! Sure, you’re squishy and sometimes there’s collateral damage when you let out a blast, but it’s all in a day’s work. As a wizard, you have a choice in implements, but everyone knows The Wand is the ultimate when you want to be an elite controller. Our Wand may not make legions of kobold minions explode into flames, but it will learn up to 13 commands from your existing remote controls and map them to particular magical motions. Flick the wand from side to side to flip the channels, twist the wand to turn up the volume. A beam of light will shoot out the unicorn tail hair and magic will happen! The Wand can learn from any remotes in your house and once you master its 13 movements, you can mastermind a symphony of electronic enjoyment from the comfort of your couch. Then, and only then, are you an epic level controller.

Pop Quiz, hotshot. Think back to a time when you were a young geek. Sure, you were brilliant at math, but being asked to solve problems on the chalkboard… That’s the stuff of nightmares. Thankfully, that time is over… Or is it? The smell of chalk, and the feel of the blackboard is still fresh in your mind. If you close your eyes, you can almost feel the eyes staring at your back as you labor to engage your brain and simplify the polynomial. Can you feel your heart beat faster? Are your hands sweaty? Relax! This is just a clock! This lovely new timepiece appears to have been hand-written by that evil math teacher we all had to endure. Each hour is marked by a simple math problem. Solve it and solve the riddle of time. Or, you can just know that “52 – x2 + x = 10″ happens to live in the “7 o’clock” position* and be done with it. * – Yes, we know that 52 – x2 + x = 10 allows for 7 and -6 as a possible answer, but since there is no such thing as -6 o’clock, the correct answer becomes glaringly obvious.

Princess Leia Apron

NOTE: YES – most Dads probably aren’t too proud to wear a Princess Leia apron. Besides, he may just like it!

Digital Measuring Tape

Getting accurate measurements is important whether it’s a repair project in the garage or a new experiment in the lab. Sometimes a fraction of an inch can mean the difference between a successful experiment and a complete meltdown. Of course we realize that sometimes complete meltdowns are the experiment. So, in the interest of more accurate meltdowns measurements we offer this tape with digital display. The Digital Measuring Tape features a large easy-to-read display that is capable of memorizing your measurements with the push of a button. It can give measurements in either feet and inches or metric units and will even display fractions of an inch (as small as 1/16th) just like a standard tape measure. There is also a setting for adding the case length for taking inside measurements. The Digital Measuring Tape turns on and off automatically, when the tape is extended (on) or fully retracted back into the case (off).

Despite it’s name, the JuiceBar is not the newest health drink franchise trend sweeping across the country. And it’s not a fruit-infused snackbar loaded with a full months supply of vitamin C. Instead, this JuiceBar is full of electronic gadget juice, also known as extra battery power – and it’s our favorite flavor. This sleek re-chargeable battery pack stores enough power to charge most handheld electronics and can charge a typical cell phone several times. The JuiceBar’s internal Li-ion battery can be re-charged via USB connection or via the built-in solar panel. This arrangement gives you maximum flexibility while traveling or computing. Included with the JuiceBar are connectors for nearly all popular mobile phones and portable electronic gadgets. There is also a handy LED indicator in the JuiceBar to show you when it’s charging its internal battery and a small pouch for storing all the connectors.

A great toolkit for the modern geek including nice sets of screwdrivers, pliers and various size wrenches. These tools will allow you to perform all of the basic repairs on computers and workstations. Also, handy for modding activities and last minute gaming upgrades. The toolkit has these components.

The Isis is a high quality puzzle, similar to a combination lock. The object of the puzzle is to solve the combination and obtain the secret number inside. Each Isis is unique, and you will need to obtain the key number inside and enter the numbers onto the Isis Adventure website in order to access the “Pyramid Map”. Made to the same exacting tolerances as the Isis and featuring similar all metal construction, the Ramisis will challenge your skill and determination as you tilt and rotate the sections to try and liberate the internal key.}
