Dad Jokes & Gifts: Hilarious Presents That Prove He Raised You Right

Dads deserve gifts as unforgettable as their legendary eye rolls and terrible puns. This year, skip the boring ties and surprise him with something that’ll make him chuckle (or pretend he doesn’t).
Imagine his face unwrapping a “World’s Okayest Dad” mug for his morning coffee or a “Dad Bod” tank top for his “strict” workout regimen.
For the grill master, a “Kiss the Cook” apron with your face printed on it guarantees backyard laughs.
Tech-savvy dads will appreciate a USB drive preloaded with 100 dad jokes, while nostalgic types might tear up (from laughter) at a custom “How to Dad” handbook filled with your childhood mishaps.
These gifts do more than entertain—they celebrate his unique brand of dad humor and the joy he brings to your life. Give him the gift of laughter, because nothing says “I love you” like leaning into the chaos he created!
Funny Gift Ideas for Dad
Finding a gift for dad can be tough. He says he doesn’t need anything. He buys what he wants. And sometimes, he just shrugs when you ask.
That’s why a funny gift can be the perfect surprise. It brings laughter, lightens the mood, and shows you put thought into making him smile.
Below are ten funny gift ideas for dads. Each one is detailed to help you pick the best laugh-worthy gift.
1. Personalized Bobblehead
A custom bobblehead made to look like your dad? That’s a gift he won’t expect. Send a clear photo of him, and artists will make a miniature version with a wobbling head.
You can dress the bobblehead in his favorite outfit or put it in a silly costume—like a superhero, chef, or golfer. Place it on his desk, shelf, or dashboard. Every time he sees it, he’ll chuckle.
This gift also works as a family joke. Is dad known for always sitting in his chair? Or falling asleep during movies? Use those habits as part of the design.
2. Toilet Golf Set
Yes, it exists. A mini-golf set he can use while sitting on the toilet. It includes a green mat, a small putter, a cup, and two balls. Great for the dad who enjoys bathroom time.
Even better for the one who always says he needs more time to relax. It’s a harmless joke, but also a real toy. He might start spending more time in there—just for fun.
Pair it with a funny bathroom sign like “Do Not Disturb: Practicing My Short Game.”
3. Dad Joke Button
He tells the same jokes. Over and over. Now, give him a button that tells them for him. Press it, and the device plays a random dad joke out loud.
Puns, silly one-liners, and groan-worthy punchlines. All ready at the push of a button.
This is great for family gatherings. Dad presses the button. Everyone laughs (or groans). And he gets that proud dad-joke smile.
You can also find versions with recording options, so he can add his own voice.
4. Fake Belly Fanny Pack
It’s a waist bag that looks like a big hairy belly. Yes, really. This odd-looking fanny pack gets attention everywhere.
It’s useful too. He can wear it while walking, shopping, or going on a trip. The pouch holds keys, a phone, or a wallet.
People might stare. Some may laugh. Others may ask where he got it. Either way, it brings smiles. A great choice for dads who like weird fashion or just don’t care what people think.
5. Funny Apron
Dads who grill love a good apron. Now give him one with a funny message. Some ideas include:
- “Grill Sergeant”
- “I Like My Meat Rubbed”
- “Licensed to Grill”
Choose one that fits his style. If he’s always outside flipping burgers, he’ll wear it proudly. It also makes a great gift during barbecue season.
Add grilling tools or sauces to complete the set.
6. Emergency Dad Jokes Book
A small book packed with cheesy jokes. Great for the dad who loves to make people laugh. Or the one who needs help remembering new jokes. Easy to keep in his bag, car, or bathroom.
Some books even rate the jokes by how many groans they earn. From mild eye-roll to full-on facepalm.
Pair it with a notebook and pen. He can start writing his own terrible punchlines.
7. “World’s Okayest Dad” Mug
He’s not the best. Not the worst. Just okay. And that’s funny. This mug pokes fun at the usual “#1 Dad” stuff. The words say something different, but the love is still there.
It works for morning coffee or evening tea. And every time he drinks from it, he’ll remember the joke.
You can also find T-shirts, socks, and caps with the same line.
8. Talking Toilet Paper Roll
A motion-activated voice box that attaches to a toilet paper roll. When someone pulls the tissue, it plays a message. You can record a joke, a greeting, or a warning.
This one surprises everyone. Especially dad. He may forget it’s there and jump a little when it talks back. Funny every time.
Great for holiday pranks or just a regular day.
9. “Do Not Disturb: Dad Napping” Door Sign
Dads take naps seriously. This sign shows it. Hang it on his bedroom or recliner area. The message is funny but clear.
You can personalize the sign with his name or a fun phrase like:
- “Nap Zone”
- “Enter at Your Own Risk”
- “Dad Snoring Ahead”
It’s a simple gift. But one that makes him smile every time he sees it.
10. Remote Control Yelling Button
Tired of hearing him shout across the house? Now he can press a button and the machine does it for him. It comes with recorded phrases like:
- “Turn off the lights!”
- “Close the door!”
- “Who touched the thermostat?”
Great for dads who love to remind everyone of house rules. Even better for those who enjoy gadgets.
Some buttons even allow custom recordings. So he can add his classic lines.
