Father's Day Gift Guide: Calling All Rad Dads!

These aren't your granddad's tie clip kind of gifts. These are for the funny, the sarcastic, the nerdy, the hipster dads. All the rad dads. Father's Day is coming up, so we've compiled a bunch of sweet gifts that dad will love, so you wouldn't have to. Also, all of these will go awesome with that macaroni frame. (Why mess with a classic?) 

Totally Rad Fathers Day Gifts:

1. F Bomb Paperweight by Uncommon Goods - Perfect for the dad who can't quite mind his p's and q's when the kiddos are around...what the f*@#? 

Where DOES he learn language like that..

2. Vintage Map Cufflinks by Bespoke - These will class up the suit of any jet-setting dad, or a history-buff dad who dabbles in cartography. 

Let's go on an adventure! 

3. Jedi Dad Shirt Set by Psychobabyonline - The force is strong in this one! Start training your Jedi at a young age and may your father-son relationship be light years away from Vader and Luke's.  

Nathan, I am your father! 

4. Custom Etched Father's Day Wine Bottle by Etching Expressions - If the Dad in your life is more of a sommelier than a Brew Master, get him a personalized message on a delicious bottle of his favorite vino! 

5. Men in This Town Hardcover Book by Barneys New York - Perhaps a subtle hint for your man to step up his fashion game - this book will give him the inspiration he needs to take some fashion risks. And finally stop with the sandals and socks. 

6. Dollar Shave Club Monthly Subscription by Dollar Shave Club  - If you like your main man a little more clean-shaven than fuzzy, this is the perfect gift to give him a smooth shave and keep the beard-burn at bay.  

7. Living Language Dothraki: A Conversational Language Course Based on the Hit Original HBO Series Game of Thrones by The HBO Shop  - Let's be honest, if you're a GOT fan, this could be fun for you too! Plus, the best part of any language is learning the swear words! (Is that just us? See gift #1) 

8. Hipster Dad Shirt Set by Psychobabyonline - We know they might be too cool to advertise, but why buy another tin of mustache wax when you can show off your half-pint & whole hipster dad-baby duo!? 

9. Personalized Wood Carved Rock and Roll Man Cave Signs by Benchmark Signs Gifts - This one speaks for itself. Get it customized with your specific man cave description to warn all those who enter that they may be subject to extended periods of Guitar Hero or actual band practice. We do love a rock 'n' roll dad. 

10. Blue Mixtape Cassette Tape Light by Break The Record - In case you ever need a visual aid when describing the history of music consumption, or stories about the mix-tape he made you when you first started dating. NEVER FORGET! 

11. Coach Dad Shirt Set: Baseball by Psychobabyonline  - For the sports-loving dad who bought a glove when the baby was born because he was THAT EXCITED to play catch some day...

12. "Music is What Feelings Sound Like" Wall Art by GoGoBookArt - Excellent decoration for the rock 'n' roll Man Cave - something has to be non-neon, right?  (See #9) 

13. Engraved Wooden Music Box (Beatles) by InvenioCrafts - With a ton of songs to choose from you can pick the song that means something to both of you.  Sentimental and a little cheesy, yes, but also perfect for the music-loving papa.

Welcome to our Father's Day Gift Guide for the Raddest Dad out there - YOURS!

1. Kicking it off is our My Dad Used To Be Cool Tee ... 'cause it's true, no matter who your papa is. It's a proven fact that once a guy has a baby, he starts making dorky dad jokes and listening to uncool music. Well... it happens to the best of dudes, so just embrace his inner dad lameness and let him know you know that he USED to be COOL!

2 + 3. We can't think of anything a dad needs more than a strong cup of coffee (except for maybe a strong cocktail every now and then). We love the pairing of one of our funny dad mugs with this crazy (and locally roasted in Chicago) espresso blend - it's called UNICORN BLOOD! C'mon, people!

4. For a newbie dad - this hilarious (and genuinely useful) book goes over the very basics of parenting, and a few out of the ordinary situations that may arise, for instance, delivering a baby on the subway. What's up, Super Dad!

5. For an inked up daddy, one of these two awesome tattooed baby bibs will be right up his alley, and unlike a tattoo, whatever ends up on this bib will totally wash off. Just make sure to hide the Sharpies from the kiddos, or you may have some less-than-temporary self-administered tattoos to deal with!

6. Got a sports-lovin' papa? Well, nothing goes with watching the game like a nice cold one, so how about hooking Pops up with this cool bottle opener, made out of a recycled baseball bat.

7. Techie dads can't afford to have Junior throwing their iPhone around, so make sure Dad's cell is protected with one of these funny phone cases.

8. And if Dad has one of those jobs that requires wearing a tie every day (boooooo), grab this super stylin' vinyl record necktie (yaaayy!!!) and let him show off the fact that he used to be cool is still totally cool...

9. Last but not least, may the force be strong throughout all those ups and downs of fatherhood. Show your intergalactic love with this awesome pair of Star Wars cuff links. Cause Dads, we love you. And you know it. But you know it a little more when we give you a really thoughtful, really great Father's Day Gift, right?

Hey Dads! We're Wishing You a...

To celebrate all the rad dads we know this Father's Day, here's ten of our favorite rockin' papas! We're not sure what it is about musicians, but they have a knack for giving their offspring super cool names. Read on to find out a little more about these ten cool daddies!
Elton John (along with partner David Furnish) is raising two little dudes, Zachary Jackson Levon and Elijah Joseph Daniel. We like that Papa Elton paid tribute to some of his songs ("Levon" and "Daniel"). If he keeps this up, we might end up seeing baby Bennie or baby Jet! Not only has Elton been knighted, he's also been inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On top of that, he's god-father to John Lennon's son Sean. Busy guy, that Elton! Alleged bat-biter and 'Prince of Darkness' Ozzy Osbourne is proud papa to daughters Aimee, Kelly, Jessica Starshine, and sons Jack, Louis John, and Elliot. Ozzy must have passed on at least a little rockstar drive to his kids... daughter Kelly released two studio albums, recorded a cover of a Black Sabbath song with her dad, and as far as we know, has never beheaded any rodents! Kanye West - although not technically a daddy just yet - has us excited to see what he and mama-to-be Kim Kardashian name their little one. Our guess is it will probably start with the letter K. We'll get to find out soon, Baby 'Ye is due sometime this July!
Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day has two rocking sons, Joseph Marciano and Jakob Danger (such an awesome name). Joseph drums for the punk band Emily's Army - guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree in the Armstrong household! Speaking of apples, we're giving Chris Martin of Coldplay the award for most memorable baby name - Apple Blythe Alison. Apple's younger brother ,Moses Bruce Anthony, is definitely holding his own in the cool baby name contest. We hope Chris gets enough Apple every day to keep the doctors away! New daddy Jay-Z only has one daughter with wife Beyonce, but holds the Billboard record for most number one albums by a solo artist - 12! With that kind of prolific output, we'd be surprised if he doesn't give daughter Blue Ivy at least one or two siblings to jam out with. With the combination of Jay and Beyonce's talent - wouldn't their kids have to grow up to be superstars?
Dave Grohl of Nirvana, Foo Fighters and Them Crooked Vultures has two sweet girls, Violet Maye and Harper Willow. We're pretty big fans of his music, and we'd also like to point out that not only does Dave know how to seriously rock out, he very clearly knows how to rock a sweet mustache. Steven Tyler, front man of Aerosmith, is also father to Mia, Liv, Chelsea Anna, and son Taj Monroe. Liv is now raising the next generation of rock royalty, - Steven's grandson Milo William (whose dad is Royston Langdon of British rock band Spacehog)! Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones has an impressive amount of progeny... seven kids and four grandchildren. His kids all have great names -Karis, Jade Sheena Jezebel, Elizabeth Scarlett, James Leroy Augustin, Georgia May Ayeesha, Gabriel Luke Beauregard, and Lucas Maurice Morad. Mick has also been knighted, like fellow countryman Elton. Most of the time, it's pretty embarrassing to watch your parents dance, but Mick's kids have to be impressed that there was a #1 single (Maroon 5's 'Moves Like Jagger) penned about his dance skills!
 
Last but not least on our list is another Brit, John Lennon, seen here with son Sean. (Sean's rocking an old-school personalized t-shirt, we like your style, kiddo!) Fun rock kid fact: The Beatles song 'Hey Jude' was originally written by Paul McCartney as 'Hey Jules,' for John's eldest son Julian. Young Julian also gave The Beatles their inspiration for "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" - he later said the song was based on a picture he'd drawn of his classmate Lucy, surrounded by stars. So if you're ever feeling creatively challenged, try hanging out with your kids! They're the coolest, craziest, smartest and most entertaining people you will ever meet.
