Father’s Day 2025 Gift Guide for TV-Obsessed Dads
Whether he’s a daddy, a zaddy, a pop-pop, or the one who stepped up, Father’s Day is the perfect time to celebrate those guys who have helped us grow up until the point where we can afford to buy them presents. And if you’re like most of us, the old standbys of power ties, dress socks, books about sports, and overpriced alcohol just ain’t cuttin’ it these days.
So we have wrangled up a few gift ideas inspired by some of our favorite (and a few felonious) dads from TV and beyond. There are even a few goodies included that you might want for yourself. And we’re sure dad would approve… if he’s worth his salt, he just wants to see you happy anyway!
Homer Simpson Chia Pet
TV’s yellowest, d’oh-est dad will literally grow on you in the funniest way possible, thanks to Chia Pet’s perfectly imagined take on the classic Homer-in-the-bushes meme. Comes with everything you need, including a unique pottery planter, convenient plastic drip tray, and chia seed packets for 3 plantings — and it’s way cooler than a tie, right?!
LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Helmet Building Set
You know the iconic line. You know he’s Luke’s father, and you know you need to give this incredible LEGO set to someone this year. Containing 834 pieces, this collectible classic features a menacingly detailed Darth Vader’s helmet with a stand and nameplate. With almost every piece the same color, this is also a great way to drive your father mad as payback for all of the times he refused to help with your math homework!
The Dads of Funko POPs!
Whether he’s more of a deadly Godfather or a delightful Gomez Addams, you’re sure to find your dad’s pop-culture avatar within Funko’s deeeeeeeeep family tree. From Gilmore Girls‘ Luke and Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s Nicolaj-devoted dad, Boyle, to House of the Dragon‘s prolific poppa Daemon and the horrible Vito Corleone, these 4-inch tall vinyl collectibles cover every possible father figure!
A Cookbook from Gordon Ramsay’s Kid!: Tilly’s Kitchen Takeover
The daughter also rises! Hell’s Kitchen legend Gordon Ramsay isn’t the only one in the family with culinary chops: His daughter Tilly has also made a name for herself, not just as a frequent guest judge on his many shows, but also on the bookshelves. And her cookbook filled with smoothie tips, pulled-pork ideas, and other Ramsay-approved recipes is proof that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. It just curses less.
The Mandalorian Varsity Sweater and Bucket Hat
Pedro Pascal‘s Zaddy of the universe, Mando, has inspired Heroes & Villains’ line of goods celebrating The Mandalorian and this twosome is the stylish must-have for the man on your list this year. The long-sleeved varsity-style sweater pops with subtle accents and the bucket hat is the best way to look cool (and stay cool) while mowing the lawn!
Peanuts ‘Dog Dad’ T-Shirt
Let’s not forget the fathers of those four-legged kids out there this year. If you have a fella whose fur-baby is his favorite person, why not give him some love in the form of this 100% combed and ring-spun cotton classic? It’s the kind of happiness that is even better than a warm blanket, especially now that it’s so warm outside!
Avatar: The Last Airbender Cardholder
Dad into anime? Then let The Last Airbender‘s Momo protect what he values the most (aside from his family, of course)! This one-of-a-kind cardholder features an applique of his face on the front snap with his arms and wings extending up. There are slots for cards, tickets, e-keys, and more, plus a clear ID slot on the reverse side. And we are obsessed with the green detailing to match his eyes.
Scarlet Witch Cropped Hoodie
With a father like the X-Men’s troublemaking Magneto, it’s no wonder this cropped hoodie with nods to her magic and helmet has as much pull as WandaVision‘s Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olson).
Xavier’s Athletic Dept. Cutoff Fleece
And speaking of our favorite mutants and their unofficial pater familiar, why not reward those dad-bods with a sleeveless fleece emblazoned with a cheeky reference to the Athletic Department at Charles Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters?
Batman Tactical Sling
When you have as many daddy issues as Bruce Wayne, it helps to have a sick crossbody sling to carry all your dailly essentials and emotional baggage. We especially appreciate the two pockets that each fit water bottles and the padded adjustable shoulder strap that lets you wear it on the left or right side.
Tony Soprano Wall Art
So The Sopranos‘ Tony may not have been the best dad, but we loved him nonetheless, and he always showed up for his family. So if your pops loved the King of Barone Sanitation, gift him with a piece of art as classic as the character himself. Available in an array of sizes, Legendary Wall Art makes it so easy to turn any wall into something to talk about. Just not to the Feds.
